Myself, with an assist from the internet. Though my first word was "hot", so I must have picked up something from my mom!

Bulgar wheat! Fast like couscous, but healthier, versatile like rice, and good to put into salads.

Fake asian soup:

make a base out of better than bullion, fish sauce, sesame oil, soya sauce, miso, whatever you've got.

Add in some sauteed shiitakes, baby bok choy, spinach, kale, sliced radishes, carrots, etc.

let simmer, then add noodles and wait 10 min.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Elements of Cooking'

learning to trust your own judgment rather than referring to the recipe 500 times.

trusting yourself in the kitchen will give you the confidence you need to try new dishes, ingredients, methods, tools, and seasonings, in other words, to really start developing as a cook

Weekend Book Giveaway: Service Included

From my days as a waiter:

It was a very busy dinner service, Saturday night at a very fancy French-American place in Virginia

Two ladies in their late 20's were having a very very slow dinner, sharing a soup, wanting their shared entree to be held, etc. So slow that we went through two turns as they were still eating their entrees. They must have occupied that table for about three and a half hours.

Turns out that they were taking all of that extra time reading each others tarot cards!

Cook the Book: 'Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant'

Sauteed greens with a piece of whatever fish looks good at the store, it's easy, fast, and you can do it in one pan. Plus you can put whatever kind of spices so it can be Indianish, Lebanese-ish, French, or whatever.

I've never had a favorite and therefore would love to develop one. I dont think I've ever had any Jewish food.

I years for my Grandmothers Noodle Kugel. All warm and sheesy with raisong throughout. A wonderful cuttable texture. A true food for the soul. Brings back memories of our holidays together.
