My name is Susan Sherbow and I learned to cook by trial and error. There are several things that encouraged me to hone my cooking skills. My first Joy of Cooking cookbook, purchased for me by husband when we were dating, was a great tool because it has so many tips on how to make the recipes.

 

After mastering some of the books recipes and techniques. I had the courage to try creating my own recipes, based on the food that I had in restaurants. I have the ability to taste something and know what components are in that dish. I may not get it right the first time and it may not be exactly the same but what I have produced is delicious.

​

The other thing that encouraged me to become a good cook was my older sister's interest in cooking. She lived in France near Paris with her family for two years and she was drawn to French cooking and Julia Childs. I loved Julia too.
