About The Imperfect Cook

Welcome to my blog! My name is Fabi. I would love to say my passion was always cooking but it wasn't!  I would always get stressed when I had to cook and the majority of the time I would end up either overcooking a meal or even burning it! 

​​

I was so bad at cooking that my first attempt to make a meal, in my new apartment out of college, I set off the smoke alarm because I forgot to take the sticker off the bottom of a pan! Luckily, I lived in New York City so there were plenty of options for take-out. Then when I got married my husband became the cook in our house (and he is great at it so I didn't want to take away his title of "the house chef" =) )

​​

Fast forward to now, being a mother of 2 (a 6 year old boy and 3 year old girl), I want my kids to learn how to cook and  know it's okay if it doesn't come out perfect!​

​

I took another shot at cooking but this time listened to my husband's advice of not trying to follow a recipe precisely as it's written. It's okay to not have exactly one cup of parsley or I could even change it up a bit and add a little more of the ingredients I like. I was so focused on making it perfect I didn't realize being imperfect was even better!

​​

I will admit, I am still having trouble mastering cooking proteins for the right amount of time on the stove (and I have no idea how to use a grill) but there are plenty of recipes that use cooking methods I am more comfortable with. 

​​

And now that I am starting to get a hang of it, I wanted to share the recipes I found with everyone. Because if I can make it, trust me, ANYONE CAN!

​

And what better way to keep learning then to share with one another! Most of the recipes I post are existing ones I found but there are a few I created too!

​

Feel free to share any of your recipes too! ENJOY BEING IMPERFECT! ​​
