People don’t cook anymore, which is a shame. It’s a lost art, especially for certain generations. However, we shouldn’t point fingers. Not being able to cook is a significant loss. One of the main reasons why many people don’t cook is that they don’t know how, and they don’t have the time or interest to learn a few good recipes themselves.
Here are some funky, interesting, and well-illustrated infographics for people who love baking and cooking, as well as those who don’t know how to. Some of these infographics cover the basics of equipment, while others go through processes that last for days or even months! (Be warned, you may get hungry from reading this post.)
