Mama answered so many of my questions (thank you, mama) that I am am going to post these today and tomorrow I will add her last answer which was -Which dish do you always get raves over? Share it. But you still get a taste of what she had to say today because here are the rest of her answers ( My words in bold):
What store bought item do you think is closest to homemade? There is an inexpensive brand of ice cream, Country Club, that comes close to homemade, especially if you put it in the food processor and churn it well and maybe mix fresh fruit with it.
Do you cook all at once or work ahead? Give an example. I plan menus that can have some of the work done ahead of time, especially if I’m having guests. For instance, I always chop celery, onions, bell peppers, whatever can be done a day ahead.
What was the first thing you ever cooked? It’s been so long ago that I hardly remember but one of the first was rice which I scorched badly but which my daddy bragged on so that I thought it was a success.
If you are having a party what do you always cook? I don’t always cook any special food. I spend hours researching recipes to come up with something different.
What is your biggest time saver in the kitchen? I wouldn’t part with my food processor nor my mandoline but my favorite kitchen appliance is the free-standing ice maker. I would part with the kitchen sink before I would let the ice maker go.
What is your favorite comfort food? A nice t-bone steak is comforting to eat but the price is so unsettling that I don’t get comforted often.
What cook taught you the most about cooking and give an example? Everybody would probably say their mother. I really believe that I learned more about cooking from some outstanding home ec. teachers that I had in high school.
Tomorrow I will post the recipe that she gets the most raves on. Until then Happy Eating!
