I made this one time, it was delicious. Use your biggest skillet and add the ingredients in the order indicated by the recipe; it will cook down. The fresh herbs are added last. It’s even better the next day.
Hubby loved to cook, but could use every pan in the house to make a one-pot meal. Didn’t I know that onions and celery each require their own skillet to saute? It would have been OK had he washed the pots once he was done. That all being said, I loved it that he enjoyed cooking for me.
I swear someone has been watching through my windows! My husband is known for being a great cook- most meals are wonderfully improvised with whatever is on hand… and he just has to use every pot, pan, knife, dish, etc in order to create one meal.
One of my favorite dishes is rice and gravy. My mother made it using a pot for the rice, a skillet to fry the hamburger, and another larger pot to put the meat and cook the mushroom gravy in, and then pour it all into a bowl for serving. I cook the rice in a Japanese rice cooker, fry the meat in the largest pot I have, drain the cooked meat and in the same pot make the mushroom gravy. When the rice is ready, I pour it into the pot also. Dish it out from the pot. A lot less dishes to clean.
When we were camping with a Girl Scout troop, we made the same group that cooked do the clean-up. It helped keep the preparation pots/pans/bowls count down.
Smart bachelors learn to cook well. Those who do will have a line of interested, professional, mostly high-income women wanting to spend time with them.
Ok, I agree with that analogy. But my husband can’t cook unless I am there to play sou chef! He can’t do anything for himself! It is so annoying! I also have to clean up after him. What a primadon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can you make ratatouille with more than one pot? What is he whipping up? Sacrilege! You cut up the vegetables, throw them all together in the pot with olive oil, thyme, salt, and you let it cook slowly. Anything else is not ratatouille! (Yes, I’m French AND southern born, the place where ratatouille comes from).

Good looking and good cooking too!

They must have a “I cook, you clean” household. But still the chef should also clean at times to maintain some empathy.

Ratatouille??? That quintessential recipe has nothing “whiskable” and requires only ONE pot! :D

A great chef is an artiste! Not an efficiency expert!

I specialize in one-pot meals, my wife – not so much. How she uses four bowls to make pancakes is a mystery.

My husband is a good cook, but he dirties every pot, pan, and dish in the kitchen.

Cooking is love. Each of us has our own way to express that love. Savor the love when its given, worry about dishes later.

Well it does take two bowls for pancakes—one for the dry ingredients, one for the wet ones. You fold wet into dry, then begin to fry!

My mom made hers with zucchini and since I hate the stuff, we kids called it “rata-phooey”.
