Although I don't consider myself a beginner, I still have a great deal to learn. However, my cooking skills are improving each day. So may recipes out there use way too many ingredients. While these recipes may produce mouth watering meals, the process is too daunting. My favorite things to cook are recipes that are simple but tasty. I enjoy cooking foods that are healthy. My favorite cook on Food TV is Ellie Kreigher. I admire anyone who can create heart healthy meals that are enjoyable. My most famous cooking triumph is making a turkey meatball with quick and spicy tomato sauce with spaghetti, an Ellie Kreigher recipe. Each time I cook this, people rave over how good it is. They think I am a professional chef. It's enjoyable to see how my creations make people happy. I tried to roast garlic cloves without reading how to do it properly. I placed a few individual cloves on a tray and put the try inside my gas grill. What a disaster! They turned out black and smelly. The next time, I read how to roast garlic properly and it yielded a much better result.
