i am certainly not very adventurous in the kitchen. i may add a bit of something, but i don't do too many experiments. i have a comfort zone when i cook, and i would gladly let someone cook for me. as far as eating, my comfort zone is very much unlimited...ok, i do have some boundaries, but not many.

I like to spread a little bit of cinnamon on the rice but that's it.
The strawberry sushi idea is great. It looks delicious!

I will experiment periodically and one night I had a "blue food" theme for a dinner for my friends. I can't remember everything I cooked but all the items were somewhat blue or purple. All the color came naturally from food and not food colorings. It was fun!

[Maria Delpinto]

I like to use ingredients that are in season and will adjust ingredients to suite my mood and seasonal ingredients. Love recipes that allow for that.

The strawberry sushi is a cool idea...yum...

I rarely ever cook..... love to bake but haven't even done that in ages. So I am not adventurous at all in the kitchen. If I ever get the get-up-n-go I will have to try the fruit sushi. Looks yummy!
