    Recipe Introduction


    Warren Couch
    West County, St. Louis MO.

    Almost 30 yrs ago, Audrey Couch gave her husband the Christmas present of cooking lessons at the Pampered Pantry in Clayton. She says it is the best investment ever made since he does most of the cooking now. Warren retired from the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] and took over the kitchen [CIK]
    most dinners are simple and very healthy...seafood, new potatoes and fresh vegetables are common but he also likes to cook for guests, adding salads, breads, and desserts to the mix. He was named Cook of the week by the Suburban Journal in March, 1993. This is a very good , fast and easy method of preparing fresh salmon. Have your other dishes ready as it doesn't take long..
