/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Is being a sommelier as awesome as it sounds?

I've just discovered that this is an actual practice and would love to learn more about it. anybody here know where one could start to learn more about it, or care to shed light on the subject? I live in long island and would love taking classes in this, maybe even make a career switch.

The only food I've ever had difficulties cooking is rice, and it drives me insane and makes me feel like a pleb every time I try. So I always avoid it even though I fucking love rice, and it goes well with fucking everything.

Little too much water? Fuck you, here's a swamp. Too little? Fuck you, here's rat shit.

All I want is some colorful, healthy, tasty yellow rice (basmati I think its called?). What is the secret I'm missing here? Pic unrelated, posting from my phone at work.
