Stuff to Try

Over the past few months, I’ve bookmarked, saved, and e-mailed myself a number of recipes that I’ve wanted to try.  These recipes have come from a number of sources — newspapers, friends, and the ever-growing stack of cookbooks atop my countertop, adorned with a veritable kaleidoscope of Post-It flags.

To help organize this ever-expanding list of recipes – and to solicit the ideas and suggestions of my faithful readers – I’ve created this new page.  Please feel free to add your favorite recipes in the comments!
