All recipes on Home-Ec101 are written for a beginner to intermediate cook. The recipes are chosen to be accessible with ingredients found in most grocery stores. Heather grew up in Ladson, SC and for her family, going to Charleston, SC, was a big deal, even though it was only 20 miles away.
When Heather moved back to SC. in the early 2000s, she was often frustrated by recipes that required going to several stores. If a recipe contains an ingredient that may be unusual or hard to find, tips on where to find it will be included.
