The very first television chef I remember watching is The Frugal Gourmet, a.k.a. Jeff Smith. I believe it was on Saturday afternoons on PBS. I loved the look of the food and I liked Jeff Smith's personality. He taught me how to make country-fried steak w/ milk gravy. I haven't made the steak more than once or twice, but I have made the milk gravy easily 100 times.
When I was shopping with my mom in an antique store I found a copy of The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American. I made a few recipes but then sort of forgot about the book. Now I would like to cook as many recipes as I can and blog about them. I love cooking and would like to share these recipes with you and hopefully inspire you to cook something new.
I would love to cook all the recipes in this book, but I might have some trouble getting a hold of certain ingredients. I can't go to the local store and get tripe or catfish. There are also some recipes I am afraid of--do I really have to make clam pancakes? And if I do make them, does that mean I don't have to make clam waffles too?
Join me in the kitchen as I cook traditional and favorite American dishes with the help of The Frugal Gourmet!
