The Blackboard is Gone<\/h1>\n

The final two contestants on Worst Cooks in America have learned to cook like a chef! <\/strong> They\u2019ve done it in only ten days!<\/p>\n

How do I know that Jenni and Rachael have absorbed a few tricks about the science of cooking?<\/strong> It\u2019s because there\u2019s no blackboard in the final episode of the Food Network reality mini-series. Once the written recipes were removed and they had to concentrate on basic cooking methods, even the worst cooks in America were cooking gourmet to fool top critics.<\/p>\n

While early weeks concentrated on creating controversy and tension for the cameras, the last two episodes have shown that it takes very little actual education to gain cooking confidence. <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know how to boil water, it\u2019s okay<\/strong>. It\u2019s not your fault that you don\u2019t know how to cook. Cooking like a chef is not an innate skill. You weren\u2019t born having taken cooking classes in-utero. So, it\u2019s okay to start now.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve witnessed on Worst Cooks in America that just a few cooking method tidbits can create a curiosity in anyone. This passion then seeks out cooking lessons, online cooking classes, or even a school of cooking.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard from two of the contestants on this show<\/strong>, and they mention a sudden passion for cooking videos, cooking websites and a desire to learn to cook.
\n
\nThis isn\u2019t because they enjoy following a recipe on a blackboard.<\/strong> It\u2019s not because they like the cooking method of being yelled at by a chef under tight time constraints. They love what they create from their hearts and minds.
\n
\nEvery contestant on this show has experienced what I teach people all over the globe on a daily basis.<\/strong> Any school of cooking, even online cooking classes, or cooking videos that ignore written recipes to focus on basic cooking methods will empower you with confidence. Confidence leads to risk-taking and curiosity. Curiosity needs to be fed information.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, but \u201cThank you Food Network, for finally teaching someone to cook.\u201d<\/strong> And thank you for proving the point I\u2019ve been making for years. Learn to cook by basic cooking methods and forget the written recipe, especially if it\u2019s written on a blackboard.<\/p>\n
