Brie McCoy's journey from hating cooking to becoming a skilled home cook and food blogger

Brie McCoy initially despised cooking but had to learn to cook when she got married. She started with the Cooking Light cookbook and gradually fell in love with cooking. Brie realized that she became a good recipe reader, but lacked a deep understanding of cooking itself. This led her to explore the art of home cooking and develop her skills through trial and error. She started her food blog to share her journey and gradually transitioned from recipe follower to recipe developer.
