Alright...I do not have a degree in culinary arts,
and I don't consider myself to be a chef (which is French for chief, BTW).
So what makes ME qualified to have a site recommending my recipes?
-
Well, I have worked in two different restaurants (mostly as a food prep),
but really I think of myself as an excellent cook of 'regular/everyday' meals.
I accomplish this by always sticking to these essential rules:
-
I cook/prepare food that most people actually like,
not food that most people have never heard of...
-
My food is healthy, fresh, easy to prepare, and above all--looks, smells, and tastes great!
-
I NEVER make substitutions:
-
If you are following any recipe, stick to it!
-
Don't substitute cheese(s) or bread(s) or spices just because that's all you have around...
-
If you are cooking something to use what you have leftover, that's a great thing!
But find a recipe that calls for those ingredients, otherwise--go to the store!
-
I will go to two or even three different grocery stores if I know the meal I want to prepare
requires ingredients such as sauce which only can be bought at the other store...
-
Not only will it taste better but your guests will appreciate the difference!
(They will only notice when you don't follow these basic instructions...)
-
I cook everything thoroughly and evenly:
-
I don't like rare meat that is pink and bloody, crunchy pasta, or soggy eggs, but I don't like burnt meat, soggy noodles or dry eggs either...
-
I don't abandon my kitchen:
-
That's right--if it's food, and you 'hunted' for it at 3 stores, then claim your space!
-
Too many people walk away from the meal while it cooks which indicates
it is probably all out of a package and goes into a microwave.
-
So, if you're going to cook--then cook!
-
If something is baking in an oven, stick around to check on it,
or at least get started on some side dishes, set the table,
get drinks & condiments ready...etc.
-
I keep a clean kitchen:
-
So, clean up while you cook, try to limit the number of utensils, pots, pans, etc.
-
Above all, put love into your food...
-
...be thankful that you have any!
-
And by that I mean even power to your fridge or running water...
-
...So, take advantage and the more care and time you put into it, the better it will be!
-
Best wishes browsing my site and good luck preparing!

Remember to contact me about questions, comments, etc.
