Have you ever tried to be a good gookk like those on Iron Chef America?!
Answers: I am an Iron Chef in my own kitchen. I totally am.
Always! I look in my pantry to find one item to base my whole meal around. With careful thought and a bit of imagination, anyone can be their own Iron Chef.
Added bonus is that with this method, you can come up with your own recipes...just be sure to taste everything for seasonings, and write all of it down (to duplicate it another time).
