Cook up something new

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

Adapted from an article the writer wrote for religionandspirituality.com.

After watching the movie Julie and Julia (a movie in which a young writer is inspired to cook through Julia Child's first cookbook in a year), I was inspired to clean my very dusty cookbook shelves and fix something I’d never cooked before.

I found the first cookbook I bought almost 30 years ago when I was dating my husband. The first time I prepared dinner for him, though, I hadn’t bought that cookbook yet, and I’d never cooked before, other than grilling a hamburger.
