Occassionally I cook with wine...

Last minute dinner guest caused last minute panic. As my sister inherited all the domestic goddess genes I usually eat out. Unfortunately eating out was not an option so on this occasion I channelled my inner Julia and said 'What the hell!' poured a fair amount of wine over the fish before cooking then liberally doused my guest with more of the same! Easy!

The only stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.
