It wasn't that long ago when I realized this, "throw cooking," is just the kind of cooking I've done all my life... ok, so as a young culinologist, I confess that I did refer to recipes, except for the mud pies I taught my bestie Giny to make and garnished with Comet.
(Bless her heart, she hasn't much progressed past that recipe over a few decades.)
The recipes were and still are sometimes merely inspiration for me. Being a "throw cooker" is exactly why I HATE BAKING! My personal chef friends around the nation know this. We have laughed about this over the years and I have no shame in admitting that. Baking is chemistry. Chemistry requires a formula (aka recipe). Throw Cooking doesn't work for baking, thus,
I DO NOT BAKE! HOWEVER, I recently entered the Midstate Mills "Best Southern Biscuit" Contest... and WON! So those folks and their awesome Southern Biscuit Biscuit Mix is gonna make a baker out of me yet! Still, the words 'knead' and 'yeast' and 'rise' send me running for a paper bag for hyperventilation... so for now, I'm a drop biscuit kinda gal.
There are rare exceptions to this... and periodically I might surprise you,
but don't expect baked masterpieces, just damn good food.
Because for me, that's what cooking, throwing or otherwise, is all about.
I've never been one to conform, to anything, particularly written recipes.
I am a firm believer that cooking up a mess of this or that by simply throwing stuff together in a pot (or bowl) tends to render some rather tasty surprises.
The only problem with this is that unless notes are jotted down along the way,
these tasty treats can n'er be duplicated.
So I if I'm working on a new masterpiece I might want to cook again, I keep notes, and these pieces of paper may be dotted with tomato sauce or dribbles of succulent meat juices 'til I sit down and preserve in my recipe management program...
so my throwing does often result in a written recipe, but my own original,
thrown together to tickle my taste buds and those of folks sit'n 'round my supper table.
Come along with me as I yank you out of that comfort zone and cross you over to 'the other side.' We'll venture into the land of "throw cooking," where you'll get comfortable cooking without a recipe. And once you're there and have created your first masterpiece
(meaning that those around you actually consumed 'it' and lived,)
I'm going to even give you a diploma for sharing it with me!
Stay tuned... more about that soon!
So tie on your favorite apron, because throw'n is 'bout to commence...
Get your throw'n arms warmed up!

p.s. If you are already a "throw cooker," I invite and encourage you to "throw" me your recipes and any stories that go along with them... so we can show "throw virgins" how we do it!
