How do you feel about cooking?
I love cooking and baking; I call it a hobby, bordering on an obsession. We are currently in the middle of a kitchen renovation and the hardest part is not being able to cook what I want.
How often do you cook a meal (from mostly fresh ingredients, not something ready-assembled that you just heat)?
I usually cook 5-7 meals a week, depending on how big the meals are (leftovers.)
How many people do you usually cook for, when you cook?
Mostly just myself and my husband, but I usually have at least one dinner party per year and then most Thanksgivings and Christmas' we have guests.
Do you have a favourite recipe book or chef?
For the last couple of years, I have been really into Joshua McFadden's book "Six Seasons." I also pretty regularly look at NY Times, Cooks Illustrated, and Yotam Ottolenghi.
Kitchen tools: use the fewest possible or gadgets are your friend?
I use my food processor and my stand mixer quite a lot. When it is soup season, I use my immersion blender. Other than that, I have found over the years that I am not a "gadget" person.
