Head to your local fish counter. Pick up a pound of littlenecks or manilas. Buy a cheap bottle of wine (you’ll use half in the pot and half for yourself). And then, tonight, whip up a dish that will make you feel like a coastal wizard. You’ve got this. And the next time someone says, “I could never cook clams,” you’ll smile and say, “Oh, but you can. Let me show you.”
Go on—steam, slurp, and smile. You’ve just unlocked a tiny, delicious door to more kitchen fun.
