"..a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with variation....

Jehane Benoit (1904-1987), the doyenne of Canadian Cookery

Being a good cook is not just being able, after careful preparation with all the proper ingredients, to prepare a terrific meal. It is being able to prepare the terrific meal out of absolutely anything, any time, with whatever you happen to have in the house. It takes confidence, a sense of humor,
and a little nerve.
