Fabulous Food Show: When did you know you wanted to cook professionally?
Brian Doyle: I was seven years old. Helping Grandma in the kitchen.

FFS: What is it that got you "hooked" on this crazy profession?
BD: The drive for me comes from making people happy with my craft.

FFS: Of all the things you're doing now, what's your favorite part of the job, the moment when you're glad you do what you do?
BD: Again, knowing that folks enjoy my cooking and hearing them express their enjoyment in the dinning experience.

FFS: Have you got one bit of advice for home cooks?
BD: Food Tastes better when someone else makes it! LOL!

FFS: 5 great ingredients home cooks should keep on hand?
BD:
Salt- you have to be able to bring out the flavors of a dish.
Pepper- another enhancement for the dish.
Butter- adds body, soul and satisfaction.
Nutmeg- perhaps my favorite spice of all. A little goes a long way in a dish,. ie: mashed potatoes.
Tomatoes- a very versatile fruit/veg that has acid, texture, tartness, sweetness. They can brighten any sauce, soup or heavy rich dish, be used as a marinade, or be added raw to a dish. The possibilities are endless.



FFS: 3 kitchen tools/gadgets/accessories every home cook should have?
BD:
Hand blender- My favorite tool in the kitchen. You can make mayonnaise, puree soups, sauces, batters, etc.
Knife- you would have a hard time without it.
Tongs- indispensable.

FFS: It's your day off. What's your idea of the perfect meal to have at home?
BD: My dad's Bolognese sauce, escarole soup, fresh Italian bread, tall glass of cold milk, dandelion salad. All from my childhood. All shared with loved ones. My children, wife, parents, etc.
