Welcome to Cook's City

For many years, I've found myself bowled over by friends' home cooking. 

How do they know how to make that? Is she really making a piecrust without a recipe? Just by the feel of it? Really? How does he get that fish-wrapped-in-a-banana leaf so succulent and just right? 

What are their secrets? Where do they shop? Who are their own home cooking heroes? Why is eating their food such a wonderful experience?

And most importantly, how have they become the cooks they are?

So begins Cook's City: a series of kitchen visits, cooking (and eating) sessions, food stories and recipe sharing with home cooks around the world. 

I can't wait!
