ummmmm...... lets see, I'm a studying librarian who has just gooton a sudden urge to learn to cook outside my comfort zone, and by that I mean dishes that are outside my country's waters in origin. Love, LoVE, LOVE to read and just accumilate info, and now its cooking. Think I just repeated myself. Anywho, my favorite cook is everyone's favourite cook, my granny. (this woman could fry a breadfruit!) LOL. Right at this moment however I'm going through a cookbook that has been labeled the 'definative text on XXX cooking'. I'll let you know how that plays out. Who knows, I might even post successful attempts online, and get rid of that demeaning title that they give to newcomers.
