Hello! and welcome to my Concepts of Cooking. I enjoy real food just like real people. I have been cooking, creating short cuts, and revising recipes well over 40 years. I think of ways of tweaking a recipe to make it my own.. It is important to add a little something and say I made this my own..
As a child I spent a lot of time in the kitchen......most of which were creating dinners for my family. I discovered then how really important is was to cook with fresh wholesome ingredients.
Most of what we ate as a child was raised in my yard...My father grew the best fruits and vegetables! When you are introduced to a vine ripened tomato, or a ear of corn you can smell before it has been shucked. That is fresh!........it is like a little slice of heaven.
Now I insist on the freshest Vegetables and herbs. I am not one to eat dinner out of a box, but if you must; add a little life to it!..If there is a way to make it, I can help make it better...
I like to go to the markets and look at the produce... It's all about the season...So many ways to cook a  veggie...I mean it is really endless.And herbs......certain ones grow in my yard all year..what could be easier...Go out  and clip it, add it, and enjoy it. Why buy?? I have Rosemary growing out in my front yard all year...I like to grow for the season..Some of them I dry, But fresh is really the best....Summer may be gone but my herbs live on.
