I love to cook. Not when I have to, of course, but when I want to. This page is for my favorite homemade recipes, mostly because I'm hoping it'll force me to write down some of my favorites rather than just keeping in my head - that way maybe I can reproduce them accurately all the time.

I'm a vegetarian, so most of my recipes are, too. Also, I prefer low-fat and fresh foods, so you'll note that most of my recipes are that as well. When you can, use organic produce and free-range dairy products (and chicken and beef, if that's your thing), and you'll be much happier for it - they just taste better.
