My mother-in-law, Kathleen, led me to this website after a good friend of hers, Dorothy, shared it with her. Believe it or not, my desk is so full, I'm just now getting around to passing it on.

Deb, the author of Smitten Kitchen, has a number of recipes posted that she has generally adapted to make work best for her. (Very similar to the way I operate.) She's a very good photographer and has a great sense of humor. I like how she enjoys the kitchen so much that she spreads her time between what appears to be time-consuming items and those that can be done in 5 minutes. My favorites posts thus far are mentioned below. If you are a Foodie at all, this is a great opportunity to drool over some fabulous looking dishes. Moreover, they are mostly lacto-ovo vegetarian recipes, which means Deb will be a great source for my continued learning in the kitchen. I'd also like to point out that her New York City kitchen is a great deal smaller than mine, which proves that you can be successful in any size space. In my case, the clean-up just takes longer because it's more spread out. But we still have fun!

An appetizer, but there's no way I have the guts to make 100.

A use for my $0.99/lb. zucchini that just might be a Father's Day side.
