This for family women or single guys (some of us aren't afraid)?

I will tell people...

My intended audience is pretty much anyone who is new to cooking for whatever reason. I'm figuring there are enough people who are interested, but for what ever reason (no one taught them how to get around in the kitchen, they were thrown in the thick of things by a highly experienced cook who couldn't explain things and now they are unsure of who, what and where, or someone who has a vague idea, but is now out on their own) aren't too sure about being in the kitchen and ordering takeout is so much easier. I want to do what the SemiHo does, only better, with the idea of eventually working people towards, say, making pilaf from scratch, instead of breaking out the box stuff (which I love, it is nice and convenient, but there are days when I want that and days when I want to do it from scratch

Maybe I haven't missed that much without cable the last year.

How silly is it that I knew how, but forgot?

I mean, I know how to cook, and I used to do it on a daily basis. The knowledge is still there, but the emotional resistance is so strong now that it's almost like I need to learn how to do it from scratch?
