The key to cooking great food is using the freshest ingredients you can find. Some of my favorites include:

• Grass fed beef
• Organic poultry
• Himalayan Pink Salt
• Salted Vermont or French butter
• Fresh cheeses
• Fresh local produce
• Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil 

Of course the most important ingredient you can add to a dish in TLC! If you love the chopping , slicing and dicing , the simmering and sauteing, the smelling and tasting, then every dish you make will be over the top.

So call up some friends, take out your favorate wooden spoon and start cooking!
