That's how I cook, simple, little seasoning. My mom overcooked veggies because she's German and goiters are or were a problem there. She was convinced raw vegetables were the culprit.

Probably my mother was the biggest influence on me when it comes to cooking. I didn't really learn to cook until I moved out on my own, and then I missed her cooking so much that I tried to duplicate it and that is when I really started to get interested in cooking. I also enjoy the cooking shows. I learn so much. I get lots of good tips and advice from those shows, and interesting new recipes to try out.

I have a lot of my mother's recipes, but I always tweak them to suit me and my tastes.

Unfortunately my Mom was a horrendous cook...the typical 1960s-70's housewife who went for the "modern convenience" of pre-packaged, frozen varieties. To this day my Mom can't cook. She boils and overcooks everything, and you could hold in one hand her entire spice collection.
But other than that - I lover her to death.

My mom was always a great cook thankfully. She still is a great cook.

The chef at the coffee shop that gave me food poisoning inspired me to stop eating out & make myself occasionally sick instead.

I eat broccoli raw almost daily. Where's my goiter?

Jacques Pepin influenced me a lot.

And interesting enough, he gladly revolutionized mass-produced restaurant food when he was head chef for Howard Johnson's hotel restaurants. He is an interesting guy and is all for making good food accessible to every day people. He is not someone who has to have exotic ingredients to make good chow.
