Recently married (at 38) in 2005: one husband, two cats, one lovebird, no kids, four brothers(& in-law), five sisters(& in-law), four nephews, three nieces, one godson, one goddaughter. Not so much WHAT as HOW. I love to cook with my husband. We have a good rhythm and balance when we work together. It's okay to admit to the other when we're lost, need help, or think we've nailed it. I'm Mexican on my father's side, so I grew up with enchiladas, homemade tortillas and salsas, and Jalapeños on the table for every meal. But I love many other cuisines as well. Even though I've been cooking since childhood, one of the best things I did to increase my confidence was a six-session cooking basics class from a professional chef's academy. As much as I love the Food Network, the hands-on experience trumps observing an expert ANY day. Thanks to the class, my Béchamel sauce ROCKS! Why would I tell? ;-) The best thing to do is learn from them so you do better next time.
