Wow, writing a cookbook is not to be recommended if you want to lose weight!  Fortunately, I have no need to diet.  But, I just wrote a chapter on chicken parm and fried chicken... and I am drooling!!!

Good to know! I'm not quite sure anyone would ever want to read mine. They would be something along the lines of "toss in a few pinches of this, a handful of that..."

That is kind of the style of mine... I keep emphasizing, "to your taste"

It REALLY drives my mom bonkers, because she wants precision, but I cook like her mom did - and she can't function like that, even though she loves how it turns out, for me.

Yeah, I warn folks in the intro that I am not giving specific measurements or time/temp.  My grandmother always said, "Cook it until it is done, taste as you go and season it to taste."  Besides, a specific recipe is just a moment in time - totally depends on the stove or oven, quality and freshness of ingredients, what you have on hand, etc.  Learning how to cook is the main thing.

100% agreed! In the bakery, it was all about ratios. In the pro kitchen, it was timing. In both, it was ALLL about the method.

Baking is a science, cooking is an art!

I have to admit that writing a cookbook is somewhat addictive.  My strength as a cook has always been taste memory - I can taste whatever I think of and combine flavors in my head.  Writing this book is like a feast!

When I worked in restaurants I lost weight, having little tastes of amazing food left me with no appetite for meals. I'll take a bite of foie gras or beef tartare over an entire meal any day. I got tired of risotto while working the pasta station.

I am much the same - I love to cook and I always taste as I go along.  WHen I work in catering or whatever, I rarely sit for a meal.
