Hello world!

January 21, 2008

I looked around the kitchen recently and found my cupboards full of seemingly random food.  It’s not that i can’t find a recipe to use everything, but i want to be able to look at the cupboards – or at the market – and “know” what to do with it, how to cook it, what goes with what…..  It’s not even that i can’t cook, but i’ve hit a wall in thinking about food. 

I recently received Tom Colicchio’s book “Think Like a Chef” and am hoping it will do just that, while teaching fundamental skills as well.   My cooking techniques are definitely lacking – for example, i have no clue how to roast a chicken.   This blog will document the journey through the pages.  Recipe One:  Roasted Chicken.  Stay tuned!
