hey y'all welcome to what's cooking with
0:03
Paula Deen this week and I'll tell you
0:05
what's cooking I've had so many answers
0:07
so many questions flooding in asking for
0:10
answers
0:11
so I'm trying my first call Louis's
0:14
first on top and I hope Luis will answer
0:18
if he doesn't I'm gonna try to answer
0:21
his question anyway so come on mister
0:35
hey Louie it's Paula Deen and I was
0:39
calling you to answer the question that
0:42
you had up for me what is the most
0:45
flavorful dish that you prepare for
0:47
yourself as a special treat well let me
0:50
tell you something Louie I'm sorry I
0:53
missed you let me tell you Louie my
0:58
favorite dish that I will fix for me
1:01
that I love so much
1:03
it would probably have to be ox tails or
1:06
a standing rib roast you know you tend
1:10
to save standard rib roast for very
1:12
special occasions because they are
1:15
pricey and oxtail Michael and I had some
1:19
for supper last night that the lady and
1:22
sons had prepared and they were so good
1:24
and I love cooking of myself but I've
1:28
got to have an afternoon to do it and so
1:30
often I don't have several hours to
1:33
dedicate to a meal so that's what I do
1:36
for myself I appreciate your calling in
1:40
and I'm sorry I missed your deer but
1:43
maybe next time all right Gina
1:46
has the next question up and she says
1:50
Paula what happened to the little dogs
1:53
you used to be seen with I only see
1:55
larger ones with you now
1:57
that's right Gina I all of my little
2:01
dogs were around the same age and they
2:03
all passed and went to doggy heaven
2:05
about the same time and after Otis
2:10
passed away Michael and I made
2:13
an agreement that we were gonna wait
2:15
because we were both so hurt from losing
2:20
our little dogs basically you know one
2:22
right behind the other so we said okay
2:25
we're gonna wait we'll wait like maybe
2:27
six months to a year before we think
2:29
about it well honey I lasted nine days
2:32
nine days and I told Michael I said I
2:36
can't stand it I got to have my my pups
2:39
around me so we got the little Havanese
2:43
who looks much like the little dogs that
2:46
I had lost and then we added Gus a
2:49
golden a big golden doodle he has a lot
2:52
of standard poodle leanings and then we
2:55
got max the double doodle which is a
2:58
medium size so we got small medium
3:01
enlarge and I just love them to death
3:04
you know each dog that comes into my
3:07
life they leave me with different gifts
3:11
but thank you
3:13
I miss those other little dogs as well
3:15
thank you girl
3:19
so I think I'm gonna take a quick little
3:23
break and think about those loon dogs
3:25
that have gone on to doggie heaven and

6:16
well I tell you what there there's a
6:19
team there's a village of us out there
6:22
you know that work on new recipes and
6:25
you can get them from everywhere I can
6:31
get some by watching maybe a cooking
6:34
show which I don't do very often but
6:37
just watching the way some people have a
6:42
way of doing things different from how I
6:45
would do them and we really get
6:48
inspiration kind of off of each other
6:51
you know because I've got my magazine
6:53
team I've got my evine team I've got my
6:58
home team so it's it definitely takes a
7:02
village you know to help help raise the
7:07
idiot you might say you've heard that
7:10
expression before so I've got
7:14
[Laughter]
7:17
yes well I've got so many wonderful
7:20
people on our team that we all work
7:26
together and share share new ideas
7:29
although you know I'm one of definitely
7:32
one of those girls that I I loved
7:36
sticking with what grandma taught me
7:42
well how to cook really good southern
7:45
food you know she she played a big role
7:50
in my life because she and my
7:53
grandfather with in restaurant and
7:56
Lodging business so my earliest memories
8:00
are standing by my grandmother in her
8:03
commercial kitchen cooking for hundreds
8:07
of people so it was I had an exposure to
8:14
that it you know the age of three so
8:20
that's definitely my biggest inspiration
8:24
is having cooked with my grandmother
8:27
until she passed at 91 years old so I
8:32
yeah so do you like to cook one of my
8:41
first jobs woman down the street and she
8:45
had a cook and so you would work in
8:48
their formal garden in their vegetable
8:50
garden and then we go into lunch and
8:53
mrs. Morgan sat in the dining room I
8:55
said in the kitchen with Ivy Thompson
8:58
and and Ivy was from the south and she
9:03
made her own iced tea that was you know
9:06
with mint simple syrup and lemons and it
9:09
was unbelievable and me their own
9:12
dressing she made hot dogs taste great
9:15
he's just watch her and then I went to
9:19
Cornell hotels mall and worked in the
9:21
restaurant business in hotels for number
9:23
of years and so I've always enjoyed
9:26
cooking and I
9:28
on the side I make homemade gourmet
9:30
pizzas so and I do I do a doing I've got
9:36
20 years for friends and family and I do
9:39
a comma lies onion goat cheese and
9:41
sausage pizza when you a a bacon lettuce
9:45
and tomato pizza a filet mignon pizza a
9:49
smoked sausage pizza and you make your
9:54
own crust big no I just I get the crust
9:58
from Publix I've made my own crush but
10:02
it's not a thin Neapolitan pizzas a
10:06
little bit thicker but the ingredients
10:10
are about two times the size I bet it's
10:19
delicious
10:20
now what kind of what kind of vessel do
10:24
you cook it in okay so you have a beat
10:31
oh okay so you don't like to have a
10:36
pizza oven my husband night my husband
10:49
has a green egg and that they say that
10:53
those cook wonderful pizzas have you
10:55
ever cooked up its own green egg so hot
11:06
I like the temperature the PQ stone to
11:09
be around 400 degrees or so okay
11:13
anything more because it's the it takes
11:16
longer to cook these pizzas they take
11:19
seven to ten minutes to cook plus I use
11:26
cornmeal on the bottom right right and
11:32
also a okay now I have not
11:38
I've maybe cooked pizza two or three
11:41
times
11:41
in since I was 18 years old I know I've
11:45
probably done some on the show but you
11:47
do that so quickly you don't retain much
11:50
of what you're doing but you you just
11:55
make you buy the frozen pizza crust and
12:25
then next to that and I'll have two rows
12:30
going and then I'll cut it into
12:32
lengthwise and so I have squares in
12:36
every bite you get well so you make
12:42
yours you make yours in a rectangular
12:44
shape now where do you where do you find
12:52
the fresh pizza dough in public so it
13:08
isn't a refridge refrigerated section of
13:11
