My favorite things to cook
Favorites... Whatever my son wants to eat. He loves Italian food, so I get to explore many sauces - depths and flavors. I love to smoke my foods until they melt in your mouth. It's great fun to see the smile on someones face and hear the "Oh wow... that is sooo good!" I start thinking about the next thing to cook when I hear that sound.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am from the south, so everything was cooked with a stick of butter (as Paula would say) or a ton of fat. I do love the flavor, but I stick to much healthier cooking for my family now.
My cooking tragedies
Salt and sugar do look a like nes pas? My first blue berry muffins were baked (at age 12) with a cup of salt (unmarked jars) not a cup of sugar. I was so pleased to show my mother my home baked muffins, baked all by myself. Remember everyone - Taste - Taste - Taste! And mark your jars of sugar and salt. :)
