Veal Saltimbocca

Barbara Cooks ― Oh Valentine’s Day, I’m never sure what to think about you. On one hand, the idea of a day for lovers to express what they mean to each other is kind of endearing. On the other, it’s usually filled with expectation, obligation ...

Sesame Seared Tuna

Barbara Cooks ― I’m not really known for keeping things simple. I like to say that I’m simple and uncomplicated but that’s not really true. I have a tendency to overthink, overshoot, over-plan and over-worry. In fact I will go to great efforts just to make ...

Potato Leek Gratin

Barbara Cooks ― I was super excited to take the October Unprocessed Challenge. I rarely take on a challenge for a couple of reasons. 1) I don’t really like to subscribe to fads (especially when it comes to food) and 2) I tend to bore easily and I don’t generally...

Barbara Cooks ― It’s a little known fact about me that I love roller coasters. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden on any, though, because of what I have to go through to actually get on one! The expense to get in a theme park, the crowds, long lines, screaming...
