my dad cooked almost every meal i ever ate growing up. food for thought, the vegetarian cafe in london, taught me the sublime joys of vegetarian food. and peter reinhart taught me what was good bread, and how to bake it.
noooooooo! this stuff got me through so many dj gigs.
sourdough is excellent in almost every application! SF sourdough is famous because of their particular wild yeast. back in the early days of bread, before commercial processes were developed for baker's and instant yeast, every bread was sourdough because the only way to grow the yeast culture was through capturing wild yeast. SF had a particularly nice strain, and that's why they have such a wonderful bread culture there. anyone who complains that sourdough isn't appropriate for certain cheeses or wines really needs to check themselves -- a lot of these cheeses were developed to be paired with sourdough, the only bread available at the time anywhere in the world.
that was probably the most intense capsicum experience of my life. speaking of ego, i'm pretty proud that i actually accomplished it :) my certificate of honour is definitely on my wall. but dang if that wasn't the strooooong stuff.
that is a stupid shirt both for it's privileging of meat-eating and the reinforcement of gender roles that it's advertising. eat meat or don't eat meat all you want, but why cloak it under a rhetoric of what makes someone a "real man" or a "real woman"? i always get pretty irritated with the assumption that men are SUPPOSED to eat fatty, meaty foods and women and SUPPOSED to eat yogurt and strawberries; food, especially delicious food, transcends ALL social roles -- sexuality, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, creed, nationality, etc.!! food is a great unifier! why gender it?
i grew up in rural virginia and had a lot of delicious fried foods -- fried okra, fried zucchini, hush puppies, fried catfish, fried turkey, fried green tomatoes -- but never fried pickles! will have to seek these out the next time i'm home.
Actually, I am not a cook! My mother made wonderful meals, but I have never had much interest in cooking. My husband enjoys cooking and He would enjoy Anna's cookbook that is filled with elegant, no-fuss meals! My mother-in-law can put together a great meal in minutes using what is on hand. She is definitely my husband's mentor. Please enter us in your cookbook drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

i remember watching julia child and being totally fascinated by her creativity when i was younger. and my mother was a cajun and could whip up something fantastic with the blink of an eye. now, i love ina garten--everything i make from her books or show is delicious!
My grandmother! She could cook just about anything.
I must say that my culinary mentor is the internet.... which in essence.... is all of you! I love to eat out at new restaurants and have loads of fun coming home to "surf" for recipes of the tastiest dishes that I have come had the pleasure of eating. The internet is such a wonderful place..... it is like having access to everyone's kitchen! Thanks to all of you!
