I began using Paul Prudhomme's cook books back in the mid 1980's and still have 4 of his cook books. The ingredients for the seasoning I used back then was a little different, and included Sweet paprika, salt, cayenne powder, black pepper, white pepper, dry mustard and fennel seeds. Amounts about those of the ingredients of the published recipe (I gave up red meat 20 years ago and have lost track of the this recipe - but I still talk about it to my meat eating friends - and still dream about my visit to his restaurant in New Orleans). Because it is dangerous to breath the smoke from the cooking meat I would get the coals on the BBQ outside to a white hot stage while heating the iron skillet on the stove top to close to melting. Season the steaks (New Yorks please because lean is best), move the skillet directly onto the coals and then add the steaks. 2 minutes a side. Wow! Think I'll back slide just one meal.

I am a proud mother of three healthy boys aged 15,11 and 5. I'm originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and have been living in Edinburgh since July 2005.
I've been collecting recipes since I was about 14 or 15 and been cooking and baking since then as well.
I love all kinds of crafts also. In my spare time if I'm not in the kitchen; I crochet, make jewelry, bead, knit, sew, cross stitch, do plastic canvas and quilt. I have a short attention span, so I have plenty of different craft choices when I get bored of doing something. Oh, and I also like to read, listen to music, fiddle with any electronic gadget, collect dvd's and watch them, and I'm an internetaholic! :-) I keep a craft blog at http://hobbyzu.blogspot.com and I sell my crocheted items and patterns at http://hobbyzu.com. I keep pretty busy and being self employed gives me more time to explore cooking! :-)
I'm mostly interested in cook books featuring regular old home cooking and favorites. When I moved to the UK I had to get rid of my cookbook collection. I did keep all my Bermudian cookbooks, charity cookbooks and 'The Foods of Israel Today' and Better Homes and Gardens 'Hometown Favorites'.

I am most passionate when it comes to my family and caring for them. Getting to feed them is an added bonus! Lucky for me, my boys are steadily growing pigs with bottomless pits for stomachs! lol :-)
