Introducing...

So my concept is that of the Julie/Julia format. I'm reading the book by Julie Powell of how she cooked her way thru MtAoFC in one year. And it got me thinking. I have so many cookbooks but I only use a few recipies from each. What a waste. I should be trying all the recipies. So that is what I'm going to do.
The cookbook I've chosen is "Nigella Express" by Nigella Lawson. I know it's not MtAoFC but I'm starting with baby steps. I will do my very best to do 2 recipies a week but I must do at least one a week. Also I've decided that I'm giving myself the freedom to make substitutions. I'm sorry but I just cannot eat venison. And there's a lot of lamb in there too. I'm not sure I can eat the lamb either. Truth be known I'm not crazy about eating any meat but I do. Though, less and less it seems. I think I wouldn't eat any meat at all except my husband is near to a "meatetarian" so it makes for some interesting grocery shopping when we're together.
Anyhow...I think it will be an interesting and fun experiment and I'd actually like to cook my way thru all my cookbooks. But let's just start with step one shall we?

A note I should make is that I've absolutely no idea how to blog. I've actually no idea what I'm doing right now...I'm just doing it. According to the website it's easy and so far that's true but time will tell with that.

What I plan on doing here is detailing my experiences with each recipe I make and posting a few pix so you can see how they turn out. My thought is either:
A- I can help cure your boredom/insomia from time to time
B- Maybe you'll get some ideas for recipes too or find a recipe that appeals to you you might not have otherwise heard of.

So there it is ...I join the legions of people who are self-involved enough to blog and I take my first step on a culinary voyage.

Cheers
