RECIPES by GREGG
I generally don't follow recipes but go from experience and senses, so it's hard to write down quantities of things I use. Below are some staples and quick meals plus some good recipe sites and channels that you can search for whatever you're looking to create and get ideas.
I offer cooking classes to ramp your fundamental skills and convey how to prepare foods using nutritional knowledge and your senses to create a foundational knowledge so that you can efficiently prepare healthy meals in whatever cuisines you enjoy.
