Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 ....we graduated college in.... 1976, I think. So yes, Felcity and I have known each other for about 30 years. I use google (same way as Felicity does) and regular cookbooks. One cookbook that I like is How to Cook Without a Book by Pam ; this will teach techniques, so you can gain confidence; worked for me anyway. It isn't based on BFL or low-calorie, but works anyway (with adjustments) Felicity's right; I'm pretty organized about my recipes. It's because my mom died when I was very young, so I don't have a lot of info from her. Some scraps of paper with recipes - some of which aren't even titled. I have 2 daughters who enjoy food, and I want to be sure to have our family favorites in a easy format for them. (I'm even more compulsive about family calendar and photos and their schoolwork.....) I tend to think that I've written the directions clearly, but periodically my daughters do the cooking - and when they follow the recipe, it becomes very clear that I didn't include enuf info! But that may just be their inexperience in the kitchen. The older I get, the more adventurous I am with improvising for dinners. Basically, on any given day, I start with one ingredient that I have in the house (perhaps it's a fresh vegetable that needs to be used up) and then build the dinner around that (ie, yesterday we had some sprouts left, and we were all having dinner at different times, so I prepared the ingredients for an Asian salad in individual containers and broiled some teriyaki salmon; as each person was ready to eat, they built their own salad) At 11:38 AM 6/7/2006, you wrote: >most of the time these days my cook book is google LOL >i have something i want to cook in mind >i google a few recipes and combine the elements that interest me >marion and i share a lot of recipes >(we've know each other for -- what marion? i hate to say it-- 30 years?) >she is much much better at collecting and sharing them than i am >she's very organized in that way >when i write a recipe down it's not easy to understand >or maybe my standards for a written recipe are too high because i >used to test recipes for a living at one point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Thats so great that you guys are long-time friends! I'm getting deja-vu writing this right now, but if you guys have some recipes you'd like to share, have you thought about teaming up and posting them on a blog site? Id really like to learn more about preparing food that is a little more tasteful than EFL, easier to calculate, less ingrediants etc...ALL WITH PICTURES OF COURSE! lol Sorry n/! I keep calling it n's Muffin, cuz of the double M. -- > > > I assume your cooking comment is true. I love to cook and use > > cooking light a lot.
