Here are one hundred of my favorite recipes. Everyone has their own methods of cooking and seasoning things. Just do what you normally do, and the basic recipe will do the rest. Read through the recipe before starting to cook. Make sure you have all that you need on hand to prepare and build your meal. Many of these recipes have no side dishes included, simply because there are an infinite variety of veggies and sides that you can select yourself.
Born and raised in Philadelphia, I've learned a lot of ways to cook a lot of dishes. From Apple Brown Betty to Ziti Con Pollo, I've cooked them all. Seafood is one of my favorite specialties, like Oysters Rockefeller, Shrimp Scampi, Mussels in wine sauce, Steamed Clams, etc, are as easy as a bowl of cereal with these easy step by step instructions.
