Welcome to your kitchen.

It's strange. The kitchen is one of the most familiar places in our lives. Our memories are closely linked to the smells, tastes and the people who have prepared the food in our lives. But, when it comes to starting your own kitchen, we often find ourselves at a loss.

In this series of lenses, I'll share a few things I have learned along the way. And, the things I don't know, I'll gather from experts across the internet. So, dig in and let's get cookin'.

What's your "must have" kitchen tool?

The Kitchen Navigator's Guide-just follow the links

Here are links to my other lenses that are focused on the kitchen and getting you up to speed as quickly as possible. More lenses coming soon.

Kitchen Navigator's Guide to Mixers: From a few dollars to several hundred dollars, mixers can run the gambit. Here's the Kitchen Navigator's guide to really "mixing it up" in the kitchen.
The Kitchen Navigator's Guide to setting up your first kitchen: There's a lot of things you can buy to put into a kitchen. Here;s a guide to what you really need.
The Kitchen Navigator's Guide to Kitchen Cutlery: A guide to knives used for food preparation.

Okay, being in the kitchen is one of my favorite things.

I'm not one of those gifted "Gourmet Chefs". I'm just a guy who likes to cook. Sometimes I burn things. I ruin expensive ingredients. I over salt-I under salt. But, regardless of what I screw up, it's never enough to keep me away.

Now don't get me wrong. All of our kids have their favorite things that I cook. An agreed favorite is brownies with a chocolate bourbon sauce and raspberry sorbet. I enjoy making lemon curd.

I spend hours inventing dishes-some flop. Some fly. Regardless of your desire, every experience in the kitchen makes you a better. Working at it makes you even better.

So when you fail, and you will fail, take it in stride. Remember what you did wrong, and don't do it again. Stop stalling, get in the kitchen and get to work.
