One of my favorite quotes from the movie came from Chef Gousteau himself... "If you're hungry, look around!" One of my favorite things to do is to look in the refrigerator. As another character in the same movie said, "Chefs discover. They create." There is a bit of artistry to cooking and when you can create something that is totally yours, that's when it's really fun. I think that's why it was so rewarding for me to create the Flavor Secrets cookbook. Those recipes are full of my soul. They reflect the way I think about cooking and allow me to share dishes that we eat at home every day.
If you're confused about what flavors go together, there is a wonderful book called "Culinary Artistry" that is simply lists of ingredients and what blends well with them. This doesn't mean that they are the only combinations - your taste buds should be your ultimate guide - but it's helpful when people are beginning to cook without recipes. It will give you some confidence!
