A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Best Gift Ever for Clumsy Cooks | Main | Review: Maccheroni, Steak au Poivre, Jerusalem Artichokes, Roasted Tomatoes, and Carrot Ginger Dressing »
It's tedious, difficult, time consuming, and sometimes painful. But in the end, it's just so good!
Some dishes are a cook's nightmare: they're difficult to make but so tasty that you just have to give in sometimes, dedicating hours to chopping, mixing, searing, mincing, and grating. We wait for excuses to make these dishes - birthdays we need to make something special for, dinner guests we need to impress, or holidays that need to be celebrated (Rosh Hashanah, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all come to mind). And when we've finally finished the cooking and take that first wonderful bite, we promise ourselves that we won't wait this long again to get back in the kitchen and make it again. (But of course we do.)
So this weekend, give yourself an excuse to make that one perfect food you've been craving. Have the neighbors over or call your closest friends, and make the bird, roast, soup, or pie you've been waiting for.
Or better yet, just make it for yourself...then there will be leftovers.
