So, if I need motivation, I watch those shows throughout the day. My most motivational is Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, 30 Minute Meals and Ask Aida.

Sometimes I'm inspired by an accidental addition of an herb or flavored vinegar etc. Sometimes I'm inspired by my own cravings for something sweet, savory and salty.....all at the same time! Or, I'll see a recipe and think " You could try adding this....or that....and it would be terrific!" It's all good....

Those are the ones I will try first. The cooking channels are definitely an inspiration, as well as magazines.Good question.

I get inspired from a lot of things. Cookbooks, especially vintage cookbooks, online recipe videos, television, but most of all, just walking through the grocery store. I'll see things as I walk, pick them up, hold them, imagine how I'd cook them, and what they would be good with. This means a lot of trial & error learning, but it's definitely worth it. ^^ Oooh.

I am always aspiring to try new recipes and flavor combinations even if on paper they initially look like they wont work out. It is definitely a love affair for me, and I am always looking for new recipes to try and test out. It seems to be harder to find people to taste the recipes.

Whenever I see a good deal on tomatos, I try to make a batch of pico de gallo. The reason I wait for a sale on tomatos, is because everything else to make it is always really inexpensive. These are for versatile ordinary ingredients, where I am always building my skills for using that ingredient...I may use it as an old standby or in a new way. I am more likely to try something new if it IS on sale, so if I don't like it, it wasn't a big waste of money to find out. It also helps to see a demo on TV or in the store showing you how to prep or cook something that I don't know anything about...demystify it. I am also a lot more likely to be creative in the kitchen if I have a well stocked pantry and high quality equipment. Getting a new item will inspire me to use it. For instance getting a blender might make me want to try a bunch of smoothies. Getting a wok or a bamboo steamer would make me want to try my hand at Asian. etc. My biggest inspiration for cooking is a good sale, like when there is a nice cut of meat or a certain vegetable for an insane price.

In the last year I've gotten very interested in the food cooking shows and have ventured into doing some more complicated dishes with different ingredients I've never used. My husband and I have found quite a few dishes we really love, and it's worth the extra time to make them and I don't mind the time it takes at all. All of the above.
