About this Book: |
|
There are no fancy pictures of my finished recipes in this book. If you don’t know what good food looks like on a plate or in a bowl, you haven’t been paying attention. So, you may not like this book if you are looking for artwork.
There are over fifty recipes in this book, plus desserts and sides. They are good ones. I like them… a lot. I honestly don’t know what I would do with a cookbook with in excess of 500 recipes. Where would I start? Would I ever finish? What would I weigh if I ever did?
I do like to eat. I like to eat tasty stuff. I often sit on my couch in front of the TV with my feet up, a towel on my belly, and pig out on a dish with delicious deep flavor. I highly recommend this approach to fine dining in the privacy of your own home. If the prepared dish also happens to look great on the plate, well… great. But I’ve never actually snapped a picture.
I don’t squirt fancy little squiggles of sauce all around my plate or park bouquets of suspicious-looking vegetation on top. Nobody actually eats their parsley sprigs, do they? I have seen diners in fancy restaurants throw them under their table, so they can get at their actual food.
This recipe collection by no means encompasses all I have collected over the years. They are simply the ones I like… a lot. Most are fairly simple. The few more complex exceptions to that are recipes I simply like so well I could not exclude them just because I’m lazy.
So, there it is.
Oh, and I do not like oregano. Makes everything taste like Dial® soap, to me. An all too familiar flavor from my misspent youth.
