Bob's Red Mill: What’s the first thing you ever learned to cook on your own, and how has that dish impacted your life in the kitchen?Matt Moore: Scrambled eggs. It's still my obsession, especially when done in the French manner. A nob of butter, low and slow, constant stirring until creamy and delicious.
BRM: What’s your favorite food memory?MM: Rolling grape leaves and frying chicken with my grandmother. The perfect combo of my Lebanese and Southern heritage.
BRM: Name a dish everyone should learn to make, and why.MM: A butt, of course! Seriously though. The pork butt (shoulder) is one of the most forgiving, diverse cuts that keeps on giving.
BRM: If you could only take one dish to every social event for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?MM: Wine. Oh wait, you meant food, right?! I put together one heck of a redneck antipasta—smoked sausage, cheese, pickled okra, saltines, and whatever else I have jarred up from savoring the season.
BRM: What’s the one kitchen rule you swear by?MM: Two things. Clean while you cook—I detest a messy kitchen. Also, your meal will only be as good as your ingredients.
BRM: If you could only grab for one Bob’s Red Mill product, what would it be and why.MM:Grits! Of course, the kind that stick to your ribs—great in the morning in a scramble—or dressed up in the evening with grilled fish and wine.
