Dina Smith | Becoming Foodies

There are many lines to divide us today. I won’t even start to name them—you know them well. But do you know what’s shattered dividing lines for millennia? Food. At the table.  I absolutely love that.  Food has the power to bring us together.
Okay, I’ll admit I’m biased. My mom’s a fantastic cook (quite rare I hear!). I grew up on a hobby farm in the Midwest. I graduated from a phenomenal culinary school. Food comes naturally to me. But can I tell you a secret?
Great food isn’t fussy.
Sure… some fancy people make fussy food. But great food isn’t fussy.  When you learn some key cooking principles, you gain a superpower.  Consider this thought experiment.
What if you couldn’t read? You are in an elevator but you don’t know which button to press because you don’t understand the shapes. You can’t drive, because driving down the highway those green signs contain meaningless symbols. Someone writes a note but it may as well be an alien language because it looks like abstract art (and the bad kind).
Now what if I told you most of North America is food illiterate? To find out if you’re food literate answer these questions. If you don’t answer with an emphatic, “Yes, I can!” I have what you need.
