ASK CHEF CHERYL The Daily Gazette
Dear Chef Cheryl,
My wife cooks on weekends, and I cook on weeknights. She always makes great dinners, but she
doesn’t like what I cook. I cook the same dinner all the time, and I can’t cook very well. I would like to
make interesting food. What should I do?

Dear Cooking Terribly Tom,
If you always cook the same things, your family isn’t going to want to eat your food. You should make
a new recipe once a week (or more!). You can use simple ingredients like salt, pepper, and lemon. The
idea is easy, but the results are great.
When you go shopping, you should always buy one new ingredient. Then you’re always going to have
something new to cook with.
Try going online to find quick, easy recipes. There are many good websites. If you make new recipes,
your family is going to love your dinners! Good luck!
