There are cheaper ways to produce it that dont hit a world wide food staple so hard but looks like the U.S. is blind to that. Our government thinks we need to drive our cars more than we need to eat.

I've decided to learn more fundamental techniques by cooking through Tom Colicchio's book, "Think Like a Chef". I also regularly practice knife skills and read about ingredients - part of my lack of confidence comes from the "what is this" factor - and a fear of wasting food by not knowing how to handle it. I'm adding your list to my resources - thanks! :) Great article - that is my goal for 2008!

What a great site you have here, and such yummy food. I'm going to be a regular reader from now on. Thanks for this basic info post too, I do tend to stick to the recipe although I've been a bit more experimental for the last week or so I'm not very confident. At the moment I'm devising some basic recipes that can be changed as it were to suit the individual. One great book that I brought a while back for 50c at a garage sale is Deliciously Simple, Quick and Easy by Harriet Roth. If you get the opportunity to read it I'd love to hear your thoughts. Bye for now! Hi Jan, it’s Amanda from Wisebread forums. What a great site you have here, and such yummy food. I’m going to be a regular reader from now on.
