At that time, I didn’t know that I wanted to create a space on the internet centered around cooking, recipes and the kitchen. Not because I had the foresight to think that one day, I’d cash in on French Style Beef Stew. I started a blog because I liked to write. Also, I didn’t have that many friends at the time. I liked having something to do after dinner on weeknights. Truth. I didn’t start this site expecting that I would become the next Rachael Ray or Martha Stewart (I mean…if I did, I would have purchased a .com web address instead of a stupid .net). Now, I bet everyone says that they’re just blogging out of love for it but if I had to place a bet I would guess that 99% of the people who say that are jumping out of their skin each time the phone rings, hoping it’s a book publisher, literary agent or TV producer calling to ask where they should send your bags of cash.

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut when your skills are limited. But what if I told you that there are so many things you can make if you have even the most basic kitchen skills? If you can make chili, which basically includes browning meat, chopping vegetables and simmering tomatoes with beans, you can also make trickier-sounding Italian Beef Stew or Eggplant Caponata. Or, Ratatouille. If you think that Ratatouille is a meal named after the Disney character then I’m going to take a wild guess that you have at least three pizza delivery numbers programmed into your cell phone. No judgment. Ratatouille is actually a stewed vegetable dish with French Provencal origins. Key ingredients are tomatoes, eggplants and zucchini along with herbs and spices. Marjoram, Herbs de Provence are traditional but this version, which I adapted from the now defunct Gourmet, uses basil to add fresh flavor. So, to recap: you chop, you saute and then you simmer.
