Hello non-cook supporters! 

Here are some frequently asked questions. Also, I have included some questions that are not so frequently asked, but could be.  Both the FAQs and the not so FAQs are designed to help the non-cook supporter better understand the non-cook he or she knows and loves, or the non-cook he or she is getting to know and might love.
