- Way back when -- I think it was just before LA auto-destructed
- in April -- I mentioned here that I didn't know how to cook.
- (Remember the mashed potatoes thread, anyone?) Since then, and
- due in large part to an enormous amount of encouragement that I
- received from a friend of mine, I have become a not-so-bad cook.
- My secret? The fabulous cookbooks _Cucina Fresca_ and _Cucina
- Rustica_ by Vianna La Place and Evan Kleiman. _Cucina Fresca_,
- in particular, could have been designed for people just beginning
- to cook. The recipes are clear and not at all tricky, and the
- food is wonderful. Six months ago I didn't know how to make
- mashed potatoes. Now I'm making things like pan-steamed sage
- potatoes, salmon scallops in peppercorn vinaigrette, pollo
- tonnato. I'm making aioli. Lemon mayonnaise. My favorite
- dish so far? It's a pasta dish that, if made for 4 people, calls
- for *twenty* cloves of garlic. Sheer heaven.
