Over the last few years, especially since getting out of culinary school, I find myself saying two things quite frequently, often without the conviction to back them up:

1.     "I'll give you the recipe" and...

2.     "That's not hard. It's really easy to make!"

I realize now that I should have clarified both those statements. The first with an "...eventually" and the second with an "...if you're shown how once".

So I'm working on part 1. Below are some of the recipes that have met with the greatest success and that I have promised to various people.

More should appear over time.  If there is anything in particular I have cooked for you and you want posted, email me!
