I have been saying for years that information matters and that knowing what is in the meal you eat makes all the difference. The real question is, does this work and can it work for you?

Featured Recipe
Mexican Style Risotto with Whitefish
I had set out to do this recipe using salmon, but when I went to the market the drum was so much better looking. Take this approach when you are looking at recipes - you don't usually have to stick to a particular fish. Generally speaking you can substitute another whitefish for recipes where the fish is lighter and another dark fish with dark fish recipes.

Dr. Tim Says....
When I was in my twenties I had a friend who was very goal oriented. He had participated in one of those training classes on how to choose, plan and achieve an objective. He carried a picture of a baby grand piano around in his day planner and said that he looked at it all the time. He worked hard and sure enough he had his piano within his target period. The Picture of Success

Chef Tim Says
People ask me all the time what I eat day to day. "Do you cook every
night?" is a frequent question. I do eat out but mostly I cook, partly
because I love being in the kitchen but also to create recipes
and do research for DrGourmet.com. As a result, it's not very common for
me to cook the same dish twice in the Harlan household. Quick and Easy Does It
