It all began a couple of years ago when my wife Sue challenged me to share in the cooking duties; that is, to alternate: She would cook dinner one night, I would take the next night. We both work full time jobs, so it is certainly appropriate that I assist in the kitchen duties. Yet I hesitated because I had always been a klutz in the kitchen. However, I took my wife up on her challenge and decided if I was going to do this I'd go all the way and do some real cooking. I spent several weeks studying cookbooks and recipes on the internet and watched some of the great ones on Food Network: Emeril, Bobby Flay, and Rachael Ray. I thought, “I can do this!”
I determined, from that day forward, that while I would continue to receive education and inspiration from many resources, every recipe I would prepare on the nights of my kitchen duty would be my own. I would gather a number of recipes for any given dish and draw from each one the ingredients and methods that I thought would work best, adding my own ideas here and there. I would keep meticulous records of each concoction, recording them in my word processor. The idea of experimentation intrigued me.
The upshot of the whole thing is that I’ve created and a developed a lot of great recipes and I’m still moving forward! My goal for the not-too-distant future is to publish my own cookbook, directed especially toward people who are how I use to be; that is, people who are basically non-cookers. After all, if what I have been describing can happen to me, it can happen to anyone! Read my blog by clicking on below, and check in from time to time to keep updated on some of my best recipes!
