About this Cook

recently single, I enjoy cooking a big meal on the weekend to last a couple of meals during the week - particularly like to roast big pieces of meat

My favorite things to cook

roasts with an ethnic kick; Cuban pork, Mexican beef, Italian chicken - reading a recipe and then trying it my way

My favorite family cooking traditions

lots of dips for all the big games with my sons and grilling turkey for a big holiday meal - a bottle of port for the bird and one for the chef

My cooking triumphs

I am writing a series of fictional stories all in the guise of a cook book - the fictional cook has far flung tales organized around recipes from different locals and occaisions

Leg of Lamb

turned out perfect for xmas dinner - followed the recipe pretty much as offered and the meat was medium rare just as we like

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Broiled Salmon

one bad review has lowered this recipes average substantially and, I believe, unjustly. The recipe is heavy on the oil and butter so in uses 1 tablespoon of butter and a heavy dash of olive oil, browned up the garlic with the parsley and then broiled the salmon fillet skin side up. I added the oil and butter garnish only to the meat side on the flip and was great. Easy and delicious.

High Temperature Eye-of-Round Roast

awesome recipe - the cooking directions are perfect if you use a medium to large roast - for a small roast, go down at least a minute per pound - and then flavor to taste but definetely use some garlic smart idea; place finerling potatoes in the baking pan and raise the roast up above on a rack - I coated the potatoes in extra virgin olive oil and sea salt and they turned out as perfect as the roast - give it a try
