Show IS Hilltop Times May 7, 1992 lesson Gourmet cooking Gabby gives was the third year he made his presentation at Hill. On the menu Monday was what Wix called "Oriental-style- " cooking that he said was a little bit Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Thai. It was also what Wix said is "light" cooking for the '90s. Everything was prepared in a wok as the audience looked on. Wix also provided copies of the recipes he was using, but was quick to say that they were only a guide. "Cooking is an ad-li- b type of thing," he explained as he poured ingredients together, never measuring anything. "It should be a pleasure, not a tedious by SSgt.

Wix said he's not like fellow television chefs or famous gourmets. He doesn't take himself seriously. "Some TV chefs expect everything to be absolutely perfect," he said. "Cooking should be fun." Wix has four kitchens he uses regularly, one of which is at a department store where he offers cooking demonstrations. None of the kitchens are alike, however. He says he doesn't have to have any special equipment to cook, but he does believe in making life easier with all the latest appliances like a breadmaker. "If you have to have a specific spoon, fork or pan, it limits you," he.said. "Why be limited?" He does prefer wok cooking because "there isn't anything you can't cook in a wok. I 've baked a cake in one and you can scramble 50 eggs or cook three pounds of bacon in one." During his cooking demonstration, Wix entertained his avid audience with tips on cooking and stories from his years in the Marines. The was on the importance added he serious note only of exercise. he said, "and the doctor "I just had a check-up,- " called and told me I was in pretty good shape for a fat guy. It's because I exercise. "I implore you to exercise too."
