My dad is my cooking inspiration. He was always clipping recipes from magazines and newspapers. We’d spend Saturday afternoons making something new. My aunts helped me hone my skills. Pop taught me to love recipes; they taught me to cook from scratch.

My cooking tragedies
Steak! I don’t eat red meat or pork and haven’t for many years. I tried to cook steak for a dinner party … it did not go well at all. I’m not used to thick meat! I'm still working on rolling out a perfect pie crust, but I have gotten better since I found a great recipe: http://nujoikitchendiary.blogspot.com/2007/10/braces-birthday.html

Whole Wheat Pasta
This is a killer recipe! I loved it so much, I wrote about it on my blog: http://nujoikitchendiary.blogspot.com/2008/01/channeling-lidia.html I used a KA stand mixer for mixing, rolling and cutting. Use the paddle attachements to bring the ingredients together. If it isn't coming together properly, add a little water. I used a spray bottle, but you can also use a spoon to sprinkle it on top of the dough. Be careful to add too much water. As you roll the pasta dough, the flour becomes more hydrated, so just be patient. (I know that's easier said than done.) The cooked noodles were not heavy at all. They were silky, but had a little texture and had a good nutty flavor from the whole wheat flour. Please try this recipe!
