     These are some of our favorite gear, but do shop around as you may find a better deal within the various Amazon shops.  That is, don't take our suggestion as the best deal or even the best too.  We simply tried to find the same make and model we know and love.

Just Cookin' Along....

     We’re cooking recipes that we’ve written and created, and/or recipes that we’ve read and executed, they are all here. This website simply states, “we’ve made it and tried it!” My many requests for ‘what was that thing you made….” are numerous. Now I’m documenting it here. Hopefully you will find what you need, if not email  me, and I can see if I know or can recommend where to find it or offer a recipe! Cook on!  

     My wife, Jessica, has been an aspiring chef since her college years and I have been the contented taster and assistant for all these years we've been happily married.  Her idol, the late Julia Child, passed in 2004.   Our habit of photographing and documenting our culinary creations is unintentionally based on the work of Julia and her husband, Paul. The primary chefs we revere are Jamie Oliver, Mario Batali, Scott Conant, Rick Bayless, Bobby Flay, Anthony Bourdain, Rachel Ray, Paula Dean, Michael Chiarello, Guy Fieri, Alton Brown and, of course, Jessica.

       Of late we've focused our attentions on eliminating as much processed food as we can to the extent that the FDA will allow, and further if we can (just try getting the animal parts for a Haggis) as inspired by the documentary, Food, Inc.  We're more than willing to consume our own eggs, poultry, butter, cheese, meat jerky, yogurt and just about any other product we can produce or acquire without pasteurization or chemical preservatives.  We absolutely detest partially hydrogenated anything, processed corn or generally any ingredient that wasn't grown or raised.  If it does not occur in nature, we prefer not to eat it or serve it.  Additionally, we try to be very conscious of excessive salt and sugar in the foods we eat as well as the pesticides used. 

     Enjoy your stay and thank you for visiting.  Every effort has been made to give credit where credit is due but do let us know if we missed something.  If you have any questions or if you catch a speeling error, drop us a line at cookedthat@gmail.com, we'd love to hear from you. Send us your suggestions and comments, please.

     "I'm going to break one of the rules of the trade here.  I'm going to tell you some the secrets of improvisation.  Just remember - it's always a good idea to follow the directions the first time you try a recipe.  But from then on, you're on your own." - James Beard

     
     "The secret of good cooking is first  having a love of it. If you are convinced that cooking is drudgery you're never going to be any good at it. You might as well warm up something frozen." - James Beard
