Diane's Food Pages
Lots of people tell me, "you should write a cookbook!" or "you
should open a restaurant!" Not really. My repetoire is
too random ("eclectic"?) to fit with any cookbook theme, and I'm not
disciplined enough to write one anyway, and as for restaurants,
well, the people who say that haven't seen the inedible disasters
that are part & parcel of the quest for new and wonderful
recipes. But I hope I can share by putting some of my favorite
things here.
