This is a section I've been wanting to add to our web site for a long time! I
have lots of favorite recipes I would like to keep track of and be able to access easily.
I would also like to share recipes with friends and family. However, even
though I may have altered some of the ingredients or techniques, the majority of these
recipes come from cookbooks, which are covered under copyright laws.
So, as a first attempt at creating something useful, I have put together a table of
favorite recipes, where I provide the name of the cookbook, page number, my own comments,
and any authorized links to the recipe itself. Over time, as I can get permission
from the publishing company or the author, I will add more links to recipes. I will
ALWAYS attempt to give credit where credit is due and will link to the cookbook on www.amazon.com to make it easy to order. Even
though I now have over 900 cookbooks (I love to read them), I have a few favorites that I
will initially focus on. You will find the recipes sorted by both the role they play
in the meal (appetizer, vegetable, or dessert), as well as by major ingredient (mushrooms,
carrots, or scallops). So one recipe may appear in two or three spots. I have
done this because I, personally, look for recipes based on ingredients that I have on hand
or want to use up, and I sometimes have trouble finding them in my traditionally-organized
cookbooks.
I hope you can get some good cooking ideas of your own from my efforts. You can
send me feedback and share your ideas on email at jangrady@aol.com.
Good cooking!
