I love making salads and egg dishes.
I haven't bought bottled dressing in YEARS and I always experiment with vinegars, oils, citrus juices and spices. I like to mix up flavors in salads using legums, fruit, meat, cheeses, veggies galore and nuts whenever possible. The Greens Cookbook is my muse and I can always get inspiration there.
If I owned a restaurant, it would be a breakfast joint - although it wouldn't work with my preferred schedule one bit. I love making frittatas, quiches, strada, bettys, omlettes and Popovers. I am also about to embark on a fancy pancake experiment. Ginger-Blueberry Pancakes with Brown suger/lemon syrup. I ate this at a restaurant in Chicago and I MUST recreate it.
I used to bake bread. No, not in a bread machine, but the good old fashioned 6 hour process way. I always had starter in my fridge and we always had good crusty loaves of French, Olive, Onion, Rosemary or surprise bread to munch on. Somehow, I got out of that habbit. That's something I'd like to do again.
