I used to have a nice notebook that contained all sorts of recipes I've collected and invented over the years. Unfortunately, I lost that book somewhere along the way. So now I've taken to writing the recipes I encounter here in the wiki so they can't really be lost.
I love to cook! It's one thing I do really well. I'm more adventurous than it may at first appear here. I had some wonderful recipes before, I hope to recreate them as I go along.
