What’s Cookin’?
Good Stuff!
Fresh Food
From Soup…
to Basil Pine Nut Pesto
“To become a good cook requires more than the blind following of recipe. It means to gain a knowledge of foods and how they behave and skill in manipulating them. The recipe by itself, helpful as it is, will not produce a good product; the human being using the recipe must interpret it and must have skill in handling the materials it prescribes.” ~Ruth Berolzheimer, Director Culinary Arts Institute – American Woman’s Cook Book
“You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.” ~Julia Child
“A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch.” ~James Beard
“Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite.” ~Auguste Escoffier
“Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.” ~Anthony Bordain
