This is my attempt to record my recipes. I’m working on recipes to contribute to the upcoming Market Square Farmers’ Market cookbook. The problem is, I never use recipes. I love cookbooks, but I read them like novels, and then just throw things together. Trying to ask me for a recipe is like asking your Polish (or Italian, or Russian, or other stereotypically curmudgeonly) grandmother for a recipe. Ingredients go in, and come out dinner. But I love food, and for the most part, what I cook comes out well. And, perhaps for my own sake, if I had a recipe, I could recreate some of my dishes, with more precision. Or even teach K how to recreate them. My only hope is to literally write down each thing I do, as I do it. Otherwise, the recipe floats away in the haze of a food coma.
ps— If you live in the Knoxville vicinity and want to be a tester or recipe contributer for the cookbook, let me know.
