It emphasizes the joy of creating dishes with your own hands, allowing for creativity and personal touch in every meal.

To start cooking from scratch, begin with one recipe at a time. Gradually build your skills by trying new techniques and experimenting with flavors, ensuring a rewarding cooking experience.

Start with something simple you have made multiple times before. Make sure to always sanitize your jars, lids, and rings. Clean your vent, and oil the rim of the canner. Let it steam for 10 minutes then add your weight to your specific climate. Once it is up to the correct poundage set your timer for the time correct time needed. Once cooked shut the burner off and let the poundage get to 0 before pulling off the weight and opening the lid. Let your jars set out for 24 hours to make sure they seal, then store them. Always follow your specific canners instructions.

Improving your cooking techniques takes practice and trial and error. Don’t expect to be perfect the first time, try a recipe multiple times, and put your own spin on it. Experimenting in the kitchen will be the best way to learn.
