I used to be a good cook. Now I am out of practice, but can still do it when needed.
People like my Thanksgiving/Christmas Turkey, Fondue Neuchateloise, Peruvian Causa Rellena, Wine Poached Salmon, Spaghetti Bolognese, Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream, and - of course - Le French Toast.
Also my salads and dressings get the thumbs up even from people who claim they don’t like salads.
