"My 4-year-old son referred to it as 'the phenomenal noodle salad' and kept offering additional helpings to everyone at the table! I will definitely be making this again. :-)"

"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"
-Kaylla
"I must tell you what an inspiration your blog and videos have been to me....and my kids. We love watching you and learning great tips."

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"

"Besides providing amazing how-to recipes on whole, organic foods, you weave a gentle little funny-family story-line throughout that always leaves me wanting more. I forward your site to friends with the spoiler, "pssst, bet you can't watch just one!" There's just nothing like your program anywhere!"
Lynne Lillie

How to Make a Cookus Interruptus Video
Surprising how many ingredients are needed! May seem difficult to blend at first, but the finished product is worth the trouble.
1 coffee shop for brain storming
15 cups Seattle coffee or tea, divided
2 yellow legal pads
1 director
2 cameras
2 cameramen
1 lighting package
1 set of sound recording equipment
1 sound man
1 make-up person (to get the dark circles from under Cynthia’s eyes)
2 food prep mistresses
Lot of food
5 performers (if they were to get paid)
1 kitchen location rental
4 external hard drives
1 computer for editing
1 software program for editing video
12 months web hosting fees
2 web designers
1. Take one coffee shop for brainstorming. Add 5 or more of the 15 cups of coffee or tea to people present. Note results on yellow legal pads.
2. Gather all equipment, crew, food and performers. Place in kitchen location rental and mix well many times over and over. Don’t be afraid to improvise. Use remaining cups of coffee or tea if needed. Do not worry if mixtures do not seem perfect. That is part of the recipe’s charm.
3. Remove mixtures and place in hard drives. Extract even portions into computer and chop fine with editing software.
4. Place carefully into web hosting domain. Season if necessary with web designers and serve to public.
Makes several servings of educational entertaining cooking videos
Serves 40,000-50,000 people per month
