While I enjoy food, I sometimes find it hard to cook for myself. I find that most recipes are setup for more than one person, so if I can't convince a friend or two to come over for dinner, I usually just do take out. Food is fun. Recipes are fun.

Hi Alex, Patrick here, I'm kind of the resident apple nerd/fanboy/tech at rouxbe, so let me see if I can jump in and give you a hand.
If I understand, you are using the second generation ipod touch, could you tell me which version of the OS you're running?
(3.1.2, 3.1.3, 4.0)
Can you tell me if the site video ever loaded for you on this device? are you able to see the player on the rouxbe website? Do the videos have a play button over them with a line through them?
Please let me know, I'd love to help you get it all running on your ipod, it's an awesome way to see the videos (I use an iphone 3G myself, and it's great to see the lessons or recipes in the kitchen.)
I know, I know.
Most people love olives, but I hate them. The ruin the taste of any dish they are in. I do fully respect that there are people that love them, but I just can't get behind that.
That is by far the most detailed step breakdown of a recipe I have ever seen.
Phenomenal. Even a lamo like me could probably make this one, I would know exactly what it's supposed to look like.
Bravo! And great pictures...
Hi Liz.
I do agree that the marinade is pretty salty, but I think I just really dig salt myself. It probably could do with a reduction.
I will be making this sauce again soon, so I'll try it with half the soy sauce as you recommend.
Again, I loved it with lots of salt, I'll probably drink even more with less salt...
Unbelievable! I actually almost drank the marinade when the prawns were gone. Just great flavour.
Fried chicken. It's so simple, yet quite good. The hint of lime really makes this one.
I look forward to making this one soon.
I wonder what this dish looks like...
So, I have to admit to not liking polenta very much... too grainy for my taste. That was of course until I tried these cakes.
As someone who doesn't cook for himself, this recipe has proven to be the perfect gateway into cooking more complicated meals. I just really love these eggs. The Boursin is a nice change from regular cheese, and substituting whole grain toast for the Brioche (still can't find it anywhere) is amazing.
I've made these eggs 5 times in the last two weeks. It's nice to have a recipe I can prepare for my friends and have them think I actually know how to cook.
