We’ve all done it. We’ve sat in front of the TV and watched chefs work their onscreen magic and effortlessly create amazing meals in seemingly no time at all or enviously thumbed through a cookbook and lamented over the complicated recipes. Exotic ingredients and overly-technical instructions can be intimidating to the average home cook–making many chefs’ recipes too complicated to properly execute at home.

Looks like a great book! My email is keeleycancook@gmail.com. I’m already following you on Twitter and Facebook and you’re on my Google reader 🙂
The most complicated recipe I’ve ever attempted? Hmm… maybe the coq au vin I made for Mother’s Day about four years ago. It wasn’t that it was impossible, it’s just that it was very involved for my skill level at the time.
I love that you write about Philadelphia food, since I’m in King of Prussia.
Most complicated recipe? maybe buche de Noel
or, although it’s not that complicated, years ago I was determined to make tiramisu in Wyoming, and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find mascarpone there, so I brought some in a little cooler from Philadelphia!

Duly noted, Keeley! 🙂 Good luck!
Ooh, I love tiramisu! I didn’t know mascarpone was hard to find in Wyoming–glad you found some in Philly!
Good luck!
