I Believe in Pasta Water

I believe in pasta water 

I love… 
Honey 
Cumin 
Saffron 
cracked black pepper

I hate …
Truffle 
Goats cheese 
Lamb 

I love cookbooks 
I collect cookbooks 
I love eating and reading cookbooks 
I love ordering cookbooks 
I love shopping for cookbooks
My cookbooks have come from one to another home with me 
I’ve learned to dog ear the pages instead of post it’s sticking out everywhere 
I can recognize a cookbook where ever I go 
I also think every cookbook has ONE recipe that will change your life! 

I love creamy pasta 
I love making soups 
I am a one pot girl 
Multi tasking/I’m a bit screwed

I can’t cook for large groups 
I’m a personal chef 
I like to cook for myself without judgment 
 Why does so many recipe’s have to be for 4 to 6 
Solo by Anita lo helps

That said my home IS A TEST KITCHEN 
we are ALWAYS cooking. Pilar Valdez and I are always deconstructing food and figuring out new ways to make things in healthy ways. 
But we also love the classics and our mission is to have two options, the most decadent one and the most conscious dish as well. 

for those lucky to have food…
I have heard comfort food is through the roof. 
everyone is trying to sooth


food…
I think of chefs as rock stars 
I geek out 
And the thing that has come out of this unprecedented time is that people in food banks are super hero’s
They deserve all  the support and the cheers and the donations and the attention 

That said... 
next in line for superhero 
chefs and grocery chains and food delivery! 
I love that our hero’s are them! 
The people providing food on the front line 

And that one thing people can feel somewhat safe about is food itself
That is ok and you won’t get hurt from it. 
but it is a luxury 
so many people still need it. 
that is why we must support food banks
and treat grocers and chefs and delivery people with such gratitude 
and recognition 
they should wear capes

the next time you see one, remember they are superhero’s 
let us never not treat them as anything else 

I love food
I appreciate food
I don’t take it for granted

and I will say
that anytime I am in need of comfort
I turn to 
kraft macaroni and cheese 
DELUX 
not powder 
with cracked black pepper 
and dumb and dumber 

this will always make me happy
