Cutting loose and hitting the highway is where most of my best dishes have come from.It's there that I'm free to think about creating different meal creations and combinations. That's hard to say.My grandparents like many others lived during the depression years,and they learned to create great meals from simple ingredients and slow cooking to bring out the full flavors.So I try to keep that in mind each time I start.But always try to add something to give that little bit of something extra,without destroying the basic idea.
