New Q&A
I want to hear from you!
I’m trying something new here today and it’s open to all subscribers.
First: Thank you all for your support and reading my posts. The notes and emails I receive from you with recipe successes and improving your cooking skills is very satisfying on a personal level.
On top of that, hearing stories of how your cooking has enhanced meanigful meals with friends and family are even better.
I haven’t done a Q&A in a while… (I have another recipe on the way soon so stay tuned!)… so this time I’m opening comments up for you to ask me anything: cooking, techniques, restaurants, relocating to Asia, traveling… fire away.
But I’m adding a twist.
I want to hear from you.
Answer these (3) simple questions and the dialogue will be fun.
What is your favorite meal or recipe you’re cooked in 2024
If you only have (3) spices or seasonings to cook with forever, what are they? (salt doesn’t count)
Tell me what dish or recipe you’ve had at a restaurant and wanted to recreate at home.
1) We hosted friends and extended family for the second Seder this year. I think I had every cooking vessel going—Brisket in the smoker, chickens on the rotisserie over my grill, soup (with your broth) in the instant pot, (your) ratatouille in one oven, roasting sweet potatoes (with fresh thyme and some smoked beef fat from the brisket) in the other, and broccoli steaming on the stove top. And some cold salads we made the day before to lighten things up. It (amazingly) all the food came together at the right time, and everyone had a wonderful meal and time together.
2) Smoked Paprika, garlic powder, ancho powder.
3) The butter chicken from our local Indian place.
1. Baked Salmon on topped with panko and aged Parmesan
2. Paprika, Cumin and black pepper
3. Lamb tajin from a Moroccan place in San Diego
