All the banter recently about "cooking from scratch" leads me to question just how people define the term.
Some may think it means not using any pre made shortcuts at all.
Some may think it means following a recipe or making up your own.
Others may think it's cooking without anything being prepared by someone else, like cake mixes, canned goods etc.
Still others, may call it turning on the stove.
I was thinking about a response I gave to PPO last year about his wonderful Shortcut Chicken Tortilla soup. I said:
"Nothing at all wrong with shortcuts imo. If I had to cook the chicken, make the tortillas, cook the dried beans, shuck the corn and make the salsa it would loose it's appeal for me."
What say you?
