So, what to do with the stuff. I made roast beef sandwiches. On toasted buns. With a little of that crumbled gorgonzola, some more-or-less carmelized onions, and a big dollop of aioli on top. NOT a low-fat entree. Served with mixed greens tossed with dressing from the back of the frig that has overstayed its welcome (I'm cheap, as well as whimpy).
A NOTE ON USING TAOSF TO LEARN TO COOK:
It works just fine for me. For other people with different temperaments, it wouldn't work at all. It's not the only way to learn to cook, not even the only cookbook from which one can learn to cook. Mastering the Art of French Cooking has been used. The Way to Cook (Childs) is a possibility. So are books by Martha Stewart and others. The Joy of Cooking is an old standard. There is at least 1 web-based cooking school. I just bought a copy of Cooking Light: Way to Cook. I freely use these resources and others to expand on what's in TAOSF.
Nor is TAOSF a cookbook of complex "fancy" recipes. If that's what you're looking for, look elsewhere. This cookbook addresses exactly what it says: SIMPLE food. The title is totally honest. I only mention this because of reviews on Amazon that complain about TAOSF being elementary. Yes, it is. So?
Clearly, making mayonnaise was the high point of my day. Mind if I go off somewhere and eat chocolate and lick my wounds?
Carry on.
