My mother is an immigrant and when she cooked her native food it was good, but more often she tried her hand at "American" food and meals were pretty mediocre - a lot of canned and packaged foods. The joke in our family is that my mother cooks "holy meat" - she cooks the hell out of it. My sisters and I have reacted by becoming almost food snobs - you know, making pumpkin pie from our own pumpkins and going out to the garden for fresh herbs. I tend to cook basic hearty foods since for me food is just something to keep you going (and celebrate with occasionally). Although my husband said he married me for my pies and homemade bread. A couple of my sisters married great cooks and they have learned much more than I. So we eat gourmet and artistically when we visit them.. I did watch some old Julia Child shows on youtube awhile ago and I really enjoyed her and actually learned some basics.Katherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4939462579252426448.post-443105067475256282011-12-06T09:59:04.558-08:002011-12-06T09:59:04.558-08:00I hear ya on the seafood!!

I just started reading his autobiography!<br /><br />Julia Child is wonderful too. I saw an episode where she made an apple tart and it fell apart when she de-panned it. She just covered it with powdered sugar and assured the viewers that no one would ever know it wasn't supposed to look like that.<br /><br />Alton Brown is my favorite though, when I have the time and the patience that most of his recipes require.Justicegibsonnoreply@blogger.com
