I think a good cook is one who can make a bad recipe taste good. I'm decent at that. I have found whole cookbooks that make for bad food and of course whole cookbooks that make you look great.

I hope my wife doesn't ever read this but here I go:
My wife is a great baker but a mediocre cook and I really don't understand why. I've learned not to criticize her because I love her and want to stay married. I know her palate is better than mine because she can tell what's in food much better than I can. We go to many great restaurants so I know she has the experience. We have every spice known to man available in our kitchen. So why do some of her dishes not taste good?
