Serious Eats: awtane's Profile

Don't be afraid to throw away the recipes, especially on weeknights. With a little practice and confidence, chances are your improvised recipes will naturally have many fewer steps than any cookbook.

I found an "old" bottle in my grandfather's bar. Can't recall the label but it was in a craft type cask. Delicious -- and my first and only memory of getting wasted with the old man! It should be available here.

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!

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!
