Welcome

These are my cooking pages. Enjoy! Mostly, these days, I post recipes on my blog, Found Objects.

Animal, vegetable or mineral

If you're looking for something specific, please use the navigation links in the header. Search doesn't work at the moment. Or ask me! Perhaps you'll inspire me to write up something (and mention your name, if you like).

Try it!

I'm an empiric cook. Times and quantities are never absolute. What is in these pages is mostly a written account of experience and experiment. All recipes have been tested; several have been tested by teenagers (and slightly younger) because those are the recipes from the binder I made for my daughters to cook from when I was away (they all live on their own now, and yes, they can all cook). I never write up anything I haven't done.

Where credit's due

Naomi persuaded me to keep my working title. Rebecca had some good ideas about layout (notably the off-white line around the ingredients box).
