RE: Cooking Diva's "So it is good to have different ways."
I've eaten w/ passionate gusto all my life (as most of us have!) and I also cooked professionally for 25 years... and one of the best things I love about kitchens and food is that there is nearly always a better way.
I cannot count the times that I saw someone else doing something far better, faster, or more efficiently than I had done it for years! And one can learn these better ways from SO many types of folks. Strangely, some of the best things I've ever learned came from folks who had cooked far less than I... in fact, one can learn from someone who doesn't even cook- or who has cooked for less than a month!- Ha! And that's kinda cool, if ya ask me!
How wonderful to have a hobby- or be in a career field where one can truly never know it all! Oh, to be able to learn nearly every day... how wonderfully inspiring is that?
