the more one cooks the more one understands the cost of fine dining in people hours and product cost (never mine rent and hopefully profit).....i cant cook great but i have a small group of dishes that i can cook well, but just a few do i feel are my own, some are great adaptions.....last two weeks i have a new dish that rocks!! make a rich herb risotto (rice quality and stock quality are tres inportant) i use basil, chocolate mint and lots of parsley, and on top i shave 1 and 1/2 ears of corn (per plate) and ricotta salata (SP? hard riccota) thats it, its so yummy....another new easy dish for summer i made up and is only 8 items is a pasta sauce of oil, butter, salt, cook down a ton of sweet onion, add a ton of sweet cherry tomato, at the end add 6+ ears of shaven corn, last stir in some fresh basil = 7 items, cook some top end egg pappardelle (rustichella d'abruzzo is awesome brand) add to sauce el dente and yahoo to summer....
