What I learned from Jeff Smith
I learned that the food I ate in Europe as a small child is possible to
make at home, that some miracle of years of extensive training was not necessary to make something really tasty, and best of all, I learned there was someone else out there that loved diverse cooking as much as I did. I was just out of the nest when I started watching him, and for an enthusiastic beginner, he was wonderful. I lost interest in most cooking shows as I spent more time cooking and less time learning from books and TV, but I owe some credit to him. blacksalt |

Take a wid knife (Chef's Knife) and lay it on the garlic clove flat side down. The with the heal of your hand hit the side of the knifea medium blow. The garlic will smash very slighly and peal much easier. Takes some practice, but works very well. Fro bell pepers I char them slightly over a gas burner and then peal them. Tell me how you peal them. -- JakeInHartsel Food, The Art Form that You Can Eat |

Um, the Shel-dumb was making a joke because you misspelled "peel" as "peal", which means sounding a bell. Hence bell peppers. Brian Rodenborn |
