I admit I am one. In fact food or (recipes) saved my life. When my whole world collapsed around me and I found myself in a deep hole I did not turn to despair I turned to Food Magazines
I Picked up Food & Wind and Bon Appetit and started reading recipes that looked good to me. Wrote down the ingredients, went to like Whole Foods and came back and made the dish. Some I had to throw out but over time I became a damn fine chef. Reading the recipes and gathering up items and making the dish distracted me from the storm around me.
Now....my favorite meal is breakfast and that meal is always a challenge. Give me some eggs, chorizo, cilantro, cheese, jalapeños ..any south of the border ingredients and I can make you a Mexican or South American breakfast that will line up with the best of them. Still I keep searching for ideas. Got any?
