what would a cooking blog be without recipes? well, it wouldn’t be much of a cooking blog at all, now would it?
so here they are, in all of their glory. meats, salads, appetizers, and soups are the roughest possible ways i could categorize them, but i’m sure you’ll find now and again that the genres blend together quite nicely.
however, i will offer some words to the wise. if you are looking for me to hold your hand and walk you through every recipe on this blog, pat you on the back when you’ve finished cooking, get you a bottle of warm milk, and tuck you in to beddy-by whilst crooning you a lullaby, you will be sorely disappointed.
the purpose of my recipes is to teach, not to provide opportunities for blind mimicry. balancing flavors and ingredients is an essential part of cooking from the hip, and it is for precisely that reason that you will not find many exact measurements or photographic instructions. do your best, and i’ll help you out along the way with tips and recommendations.
