We've been eating well as always. Thank you life for being so damn good. My best food news is that grilling days are here again. F the snow, hail, sleet and rain. I've planted my peas, sown my arugula and I'm stoking up the grill.
I'm still cooking a lot of great food from Vij's Cookbook because I love it. I'm enjoying cooking from books more lately since we're about to begin recipe testing for the Toro Bravo Cookbook. Since I use cookbooks more as go-to for ideas and don't strictly follow recipes all that often any more it's nice to have a reason to do that again in preparation. Momofuku here I come!
Hope you're eating well too. Let me know what you've been cooking in the comments if you have a second.
