The Only Thing That Will Make A

When I Walk Into A Market I May See A Different Cut Of Meat Or An Unusual Vegetable And Think, ‘i Wonder How It Would Be If I Took The Recipe For That Sauce I Had In Provence And Put The Two Together?’ So I Go Home And Try It Out. Sometimes My Idea Is A Success And Sometimes It Is A Flop, But That Is How Recipes Are Born. There Really Are Not Recipes, Only Millions Of Variations Sparked By Someone’s Imagination And Desire To Be A Little Creative And Different. American Cooking Is Built, After All, On Variations Of Old Recipes From Around The World.

Grilling, Broiling, Barbecuing - Whatever You Want To Call It - Is An Art, Not Just A Matter Of Building A Pyre And Throwing On A Piece Of Meat As A Sacrifice To The Gods Of The Stomach.

Be Simple. Be Honest. Don't Overcook And Don't Undercook, But It's Better To Undercook Than Overcook.

I’m Going To Break One Of The Rules Of The Trade Here. I’m Going To Tell You Some Of The Secrets Of Improvisation. Just Remember—it’s Always A Good Idea To Follow The Directions Exactly The First Time You Try A Recipe. But From Then On, You’re On Your Own.

I Am Still Convinced That A Good, Simple, Homemade Cookie Is Preferable To All The Store-bought Cookies One Can Find.
