Cooking

I sometimes think the chef end of cooking is not the real end of cooking. Cooking is all about homes and gardens, it doesn't happen in restaurants. ~Delia Smith

For the last week, I've been on a cooking bend. Usually I'm a moody cook, moody being that I only cook once in a while when I'm in the mood. However for some reason, my mood has been all in the cooking zone all week...that is except today. My usual routine pre-cooking is bringing my iPod & speakers to the kitchen, cleaning it up, putting the dishes away and only then can I cook a masterpiece. It's a zen thing I guess. I think if anything is stealing my mood though, it's the fact that I don't yet have awesome culinary cookware...something that just begs to be cooked in. In Baltimore, I had a beautiful chef set but I had to part ways with it when I moved out here. I can't wait until I can restock my kitchen with the pots, pans and cookware that I love.
