I would teach you to make bread. Bread making is divine - like working with a delicate living being.
But I haven't made bread in years so my from-memory recipe for Tuscan bread is long gone. I learned it when I worked at a posh catering restaurant during my summers off from high school and college. I make a mean spinach-feta phillo (hor d'oeuvres or casserole), too.
My husband will teach you to make fettuccine from scratch. It's an engineering art to roll it out right.
I wish I had more time to cook exotic things for my kids. So far I've only taught them to make French toast, sugar cookies and chocolate pudding. When they get older they should have more stamina for making real food!
I'll have to think about this...
wish i could help you... but I'm afraid I am not the most patient cook these days. I usually do the "what do I have in the house" recipes and "what seems like it would taste good together" recipes. Or I will piece a meal together out of left overs.
I'm on a kick now where I add nuts to everything. Not really a recipe, but... Anyway good luck! I suspect you'll get really yummy answers from the Moon women. They are exceptional cooks! Can't wait to read their responses myself!
Cheers,

Mmmmm. What would I cook for you, Danielle? I think I would have to include Our Beautiful Allegra's mushrooms. I know you've read about them, but here they are again:
http://beadingstars.blogspot.com/2010/01/days-of-chemo-and-mushrooms.html
I just bought a whole bunch of mushrooms today and some organic olive oil because the first batch I made, as Allegra promised, did not last a moment.
But back to what I would make you.
I would like to make you something Southern. As in Southern like the United States Southern. I would like to fix you something either from the sea or the woods which my husband had brought home. Grouper, cooked with pecans, baked until crispy and steaming, perfect inside. Or a stew made from venison, savory and rich with potatoes and carrots, onions and garlic. And from the garden, of course- greens, collards and mustards, cooked until they fall apart at the touch of the fork. A loaf of bread made with whole wheat and oats and flax and perhaps the mushrooms and their oil would go on that. And tomatoes from the garden, of course, merely sliced. That is all they need.
Or a soup and a bread- my favorite. Sausage and sweet potato soup with cumin and tomatoes. Don't judge until you've tasted it.
And a dessert- ah, the best is one with berries, don't you think? I could whip the whites of my hen's eggs and make you a Pavlova with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries that I picked myself in the hot summer sun. With good whipped cream.
Maybe. Or strawberry short cake.
I don't know.
What are you in the mood for and what is in the garden? What is in the freezer and what is the temperature, inside and out? What season is it?
Come this weekend for dinner and I might very well serve you chicken and dumplings, made with Sam, my very own rooster.
@ geeksinrome
oh yes..please teach me to make spinach feta phillo..because i looove the combination of spinach and feta..yummy!
@ may
hmmm..cant wait to see what you will be coming back with!!!
@ petit fleur
"Or I will piece a meal together out of left overs."
somehow those meals are often the most tasty things,,and mainly they are a one time meal since we are nevere able to cook them again...
nuts? i love nuts in salads!
@ ms moon...
ahhrg..i want it all...i so wish i could be in ur kitchen and look over your shoulder...the thought of you showing me how to cut it..how to whisk it..to teach me how to do it the moon way just makes me all sentimental and exitet..teaching someone " how to cook " is such a wonderfull intimate and great thing...
i d love to get a recipe of yours..:-)
ps: ms moon..somehow your blog dont love sme no more...several of my coments over at your blog just seem to disapear in the www and never have shown up...
I need to rediscover the joy of cooking just now. So sorry, not just now. The most inspiring things I've made lately have all been Jamie Oliver knock-offs, so you could try his (wonderful) books.
OK, click me, babies :)
Danielle that makes me so sad that the blogosphere is eating your comments. Please keep trying. I always love your comments.
