I have been cooking since I was 4. Mother was hospitalized and father could only cook fish he caught. So with the wooden coke case turned up in front of the stove,I became the cook for weeks. Every year for some weeks I was the cook.My Grandmother found out and taught me how to do a lot. I loved Julia Childs, Justin and some I do not even know their names. I have recipes that include some 1920's era. Grandmother cooked for some of the wealthier families in town and she always said serve it so it looks good and taste good. I still like cooking shows and watch them old and new. Emeril is my new fave, he has some new ideas for food I like try.View Thread
