Ever resourceful and creative, Cara Eisenpress started Big Girls, Small Kitchen as a casual account of what she was cooking in her first tiny, post-college kitchen. It has since evolved into an entertaining resource for young professionals hoping to make home cooking part of their lives. Check out her guides: they’ll make you wonder why you haven’t already started cooking regularly!
We asked Cara what she’s planning on learning in 2015. Here are the subjects she’s following this year:
|
WINEWhy she’s following: “I love food and have become a super confident home cook over the years, all that confidences erodes when I’m faced with a wine list, and I’ve got to remedy that.” |
|
PAINTINGWhy she’s following: “I’ve always loved to paint, but with a small apartment, messy activities are best avoided…I want to stir up my passion enough that I’ll come home, paint, and not care about the mess.” |
|
TEXTILE ARTSWhy she’s following: “I’m obsessed with knitting and want to expand into all the textile arts ever. Plus, if I could learn to sew my own fancy napkins or macramé a grocery shopping bag, I’d be in good shape.“ |
|
WEB DESIGNWhy she’s following: “I run a WordPress site and I want to be better about doing site maintenance myself.” |
|
PHOTOGRAPHYWhy she’s following: “I’m so used to taking food photos for this site that I’d love a creative shake-up that pushed my style, in the kitchen and out.” |
AND WHEN WE ASKED WHAT SHE’LL TAKE FIRST?
“I’d love to take Absolute Beginning Macrame!”
