Is there anyone out there that still knows what it means to really cook from scratch? Or has this art gone extinct like the dinosaur?<br \/>\nI can more easily tell you what it <strong>doesn\u2019t<\/strong> mean..opening up a package or a box of a mix already put together and processed so it could sit on the shelf until you purchased it..just because you add in water or milk or eggs, sugar does not mean you are \u2018cooking from scratch\u2019<br \/>\nAnd once you have experienced it , you will never want to go back. It is the only way to taste the full, true flavors of real food,intense and fresh.\u00a0 Don\u2019t be afraid ..It sounds more intimidating than it really is and it is also a lot less expensive than purchasing pre-made and healthier too.<br \/>\nFor lunch today I am making a fresh cold pasta dish\u2026hope you can experience it with me.Get the recipe in the next post..<br \/>\nMaria<br \/>\nFind more recipes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marialiberati.com\/products-page\">in The Basic Art of Italian Cooking: Holidays &amp; Special Occasions-2nd edition<\/a>&#8211; selected as the Best Italian Cuisine Book in the USA by Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.<br \/>\nSept 9-12-See you at the Hudson Valley Wine Festival in Rhinebeck, NY at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds.
