Recipes are stories with good food at the end. But, recipes don’t have to be

followed exactly- sometimes they’re mere suggestions, ideas, invitations to try

something new. Baked goods, more chemistry than not, require exactness.

But, when preparing most other food, ideas and inspiration will suffice!

I take parts I like, change or ignore the rest, and let the spark ignite in

me. I cook something fabulous that I might be unable to recreate.

It’s delicious, and I’m willing to take the chance that  next time it might be somewhat

different yet still enjoyable. Have fun, and let your imagination and tastebuds help

guide you to a special treat!
