Dinner Tonight: Shrimp, Jicama, and Mango Salad

I don't know where you check for information, but the new Good Eats was well publicized. Maybe checking the food network site is below your standards?

My mom at first. She would let me make mini pies in pyrex cups when she made full pies so I could make and eat my own.

My mentors were first, my Mother, and recently, Bobby Flay. He gives a good example of tweaking a recipe every Throwdown!

Ina Garten's or Jacques Pepin's books are the cookbooks I turn to when I need a special recipe.
