Intuitive cooking. Looking in the refrigerator and knowing that you can create a fantastic over the top meal with the ingredients at hand. There are NO rules. Knowing that adding a little fresh lemon juice or grilling pineapple with the salmon on the grill with a little garlic and olive oil will be de-lish. Grilling the garlic bread or putting a pizza on the grill at a low heat enhances the flavor and injects a smoky hedonistic feel to the palate. Knowing it is okay to grill a piece of chicken in Tamari and Pomegranite juice and to reduce the remainder in a pan with some lemon zest and pepper to give it a kick.
Create in the kitchen. Let it all go, pull it all together in to the best and most eclectic meal you have ever shared on the fly with friends and family. Involve the kids, they have the best ideas on what to add to make it taste even better and have fun.
When I think of cooking, I think and envision a picture I took long ago of a large Italian family sitting outside at a long table with friends, sisters, brothers, mothers in law, telling stories, drinking wine, talking to the kids, reconnecting with old friends and eating fantastic food for hours on end. The best!
Bon Appetit!
