Introduction

Over the years I’ve amassed a respectable collection of recipes. I’ve got recipes clipped from newspapers, scribbled on index cards, in screenshots on my phone, and of course in shelves of cookbooks. I haven’t used most of them and probably never will. This site is a collection of recipes that I actually use, have tested, and in some cases modified from their original form. My goals are to

Gather the recipes I actually use in one place,
Get as much as possible into electronic format and scale back my book collection, and
Make the recipes accessible online from a portable device like a smartphone or tablet.

Where are the ingredient lists?

The recipes on this site are optimized for efficient preparation and real-time use. Ingredients that are used together are grouped together in the recipes, making up front prep a lot easier. This approach also has the side effect of breaking the text into small easy-to-digest chunks—helpful when time is limited.

Conventions Used on This Site

Ingredients appear in greenish type.
Measures of time appear in magenta type.
Units and measures are kind of all over the place, but I do try to list certain dry ingredients—especially flour—by weight rather than volume. Imperial units dominate, but I do sneak in the occasional Metric unit here and there just to keep you on your toes.
Recipes with a happy tomato 🍅 are our favorites.

Products

I do make the occasional product reference, but I do not use paid referral links or get any kind of kickbacks. Besides, they’re not always positive references lol.

To Do

There’s a lot of work still to do, most notably adding a lot more recipes. I’m starting by pulling in the recipes that I already have in electronic format. Then I’ll start working on other recipes on my list.
