About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
fish and pasta--they are so versatile
My cooking triumphs
I've finally reached the point where people sometimes ask for my recipes instead of asking, "What is this supposed to be?"
My cooking tragedies
Planning to make a stir-fry with peanut sauce, I tossed some bean sprouts and peanut butter into a leftover container and went to the store for the rest of the ingredients. My husband came home for lunch and thought the peanut butter mixture looked interesting enough to eat. He was traumatized by the taste and, six years later, will still not eat bean sprouts. Come to think of it, he hasn't eaten peanut butter since either.

Chicken Marsala
Tastewise there is no need to change anything. I use less oil and butter for health reasons (we have copper-bottom pans that can cook efficiently without the extra fat). Don't skip pounding out the chicken. It makes such a difference, not to mention the chicken cooks faster. My son actually doesn't like this--he says it smells like beer. :) But he loves when I make it because it means he gets to hit raw chicken with a mallet and shout all the dead-chicken insults his 11-year-old mind can muster.

Curried Salmon Bake
What a great idea. Since first making this, I've used the stuff-in-sour-cream concept several times--like with garlic and herbs, chopped jalapenos, whatever--and it always turns out great. I do prefer anything with curry in the name to be a little spicier, so we added extra curry paste (much better with paste than powder) and garlic. But anything with three ingredients that tastes really good is a keeper.

Buffalo Chicken Wing Soup
Very easy. We added sauteed onions and celery and used lowfat ingredients. If making for a group, would recommend making as directed and serving with extra hot sauce on the side.
