Blog of the Week
(Sorry I'm a day late. Outside activities had me away from a computer yesterday)
I like food. Going out to restaurants is an easy way to get me excited. The variety of foods and tastes and methods of preparation that are available to us is mind-boggling. There is a problem, however, with going out to eat a lot. It is not cheap. But these dishes are prepared by chefs, professionals. Clearly I cannot make even half of these dishes... or can I?
Epicurious is the website "for people who love to eat". Well, then that is right up my alley, isn't it?! The site is sponsored by Gourmet and Bon Appetit magazines and many of the recipes provided on the site come from those magazines, but many more come from user submissions. One of the features I really like is "my recipe box", no more printing out recipes you like, you can keep them all organized on the site and can even categorize them. An additional feature is the comments on the recipes, many people will share how they altered the recipes and these suggestions are great for getting creative.
From searching the site and finding some excellent recipes, I have learned that a chefs skill is not so much in making a meal and following a recipe, but in his ability to create a meal. We can all cook, and with the internet at our fingertips, we can learn new techniques we may not have known before or were afraid to attempt for fear of it being too hard. If there is a down side to the site, it is the pop-ups. They are annoying, but not so annoying as to avoid the site all together. So go, think of tonight's meal and hit up Epicurious to find the recipes. Cooking is fun, and this site adds to the enjoyment.
