Cooking for Mo

I have a new private cooking client this month named Mo. He has become my best friend and I his, well, we'll just say maybe it's a mutual muse we'd both like to claim in each other. I will say, it is one of the best things that has happened to me in 2011 and I will have to get his testimonial to provide viable feedback. First of all, it's made me see how many recipes I have stored inside of my brain. He asked me to cook 3 meals a day for a month. I thought no sweat, and after 6 days, the sweat became daunting, so we reassessed our system and for now, it's working that I make sure he is stocked, and he can take care of meals he chooses to eat out or make himself leftovers. I learned that there is no such thing as perfection and that people know what they love with food, and I can make healthy food delicious, he loves it AND, I don't need to worry about going overboard about doing what I don't know because I know a lot! Ok, enough cheese. What works? I dunno other than I am working on a cookbook filled with seasonal, SIMPLE, vegetarian dishes that will blow your mind!! And teach you how to use your intuition to guide your choices in the market, stock your kitchen so you are prepared for the times when you don't feel like cooking to when you have too much time on your hands and want to stay out of the play dough, and simplicity is what turns on your palate...stay tuned...

Make it yum,
love,
