When you first start cooking it’s natural and tempting to work on the beautiful, complicated recipes you see in fancy cookbooks. What you soon discover, however, is that cooking has a lot of building blocks. Your favorite chicken tikka masala recipe, for instance, will benefit from you having previously made a simple dish of chicken thighs. So, let’s start with essentials!
Here’s what we think everyone should cook before they reach the age of 30. How many things have you made off this list?
5 More Things We Can Learn from Julia Child’s Kitchen (Besides That Awesome Pegboard!) — Kitchen Design Lessons
Julia Child’s recreated kitchen at The Smithsonian.
In 1976 Julia Child wrote an essay for Architectural Digest about her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In it she called her kitchen “the beating heart and social center of the household … both practical and beautiful, a working laboratory as well as a living and dining room.” Sounds so lovely, right?
We — as her humble servants, now and forever — can’t get enough of her kitchen either. Over the years Julia’s famous pegboard has gotten a lot of attention, but there’s so much to learn from the rest of the kitchen, too! From how she set it up and the amazing way she labeled her utensil crocks, to the copycat paint color we found for those iconic blue-green cabinets, here are five other things to know about Julia Child’s kitchen.

“You can make this salsa as fiery as you like by adding more or less peppers. But whatever you do, don’t leave them out. And because everything goes into the food processor, you can make the salsa chunky or smooth with just a flick of the switch.”

Recipe for One: Chickpeas, Kale, and Sausage with Oven-Baked Egg — Recipes from The Kitchn
I developed this recipe specifically for those times when I’m dining solo. It’s not that it can’t be expanded to feed two or more, but I like the fact that it is my special, alone-time treat. It is truly one of my favorite meals: good, basic, hearty eating that fills me up and makes me ready for whatever life is throwing my way. It’s suitable for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I am very happy to share it with you today.
Broccoli Beef
Please welcome guest contributor Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, author of The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook: 101 Asian Recipes Simple Enough for Tonight’s Dinner,
After moving out of the dorms in college, I found an apartment to share with 3 others. My job was to cook, and as long as what I put out on the dinner table was better than instant ramen, I didn’t have to clean the kitchen or vacuum. A mighty fine trade of labor, if you ask me!
But then pretty soon, friends of roommates discovered my cooking talent and would conveniently drop by at around 7pm. I knew cooking was my calling back then, because each new friend would try to find a suitable trade to be able to snag a coveted spot at our dinner table. No more grocery bill, laundry, ironing, washing the car or studying!
Broccoli Beef was one of my specialties, mainly because broccoli was cheap and beef could be sliced thinly to stretch and feed unexpected guests.
