BD - the first thing I made was a fail. It was a risotto recipe from the community. I put too much in it and the rice didn't cook. So I got the EDC and found something that looked dead easy - custard - and gave that a go. Started at the basic level.

Worked.

So I tried some bread rolls. Followed the recipe to a tee.

Worked.

Got a bit less scared. Tried something with meat. Not so good. Emailed my consultant. Got some pointers. Tried again.

Just start small. You can do it.
