Cooking is very simple once you get the hang of it. Years ago I worked in
several restaurants and gained a basic understanding of the art. I suggest
that when you eat out ask for a full description of the menu items you enjoy.
I have had several excellent conversations over the years; often with the chef
that prepared the meal I had just enjoyed. With practice and time it is
surprisingly easy to come up with a good recipe of your own. I enjoy
watching the great chefs on the food channel and PBS. If you have any
interest in cooking I strongly suggest watching and learning from others as in
the game of food preparation experience is key.
Always use the freshest and
best quality ingredients you can find. When selecting a good cut of meat,
or sea food it is always best to choose the most fresh selection possible.
Get to know your local butcher or fish monger as their experience can be very
useful. I have either prepared or watched each of the following recipes; all
of which are very tasty and fairly easy to make.
