I love to cook, so anytime I make something noteworthy I’ll post a link here. I’ve included both a link to the recipe and to the post where I mentioned it! I’ll also rank things, just so you know how I thought they fared.

And when I’m looking for inspiration…
…here are a few of my favourite sources:
- Food & Wine Magazine
- Anything by Jamie Oliver. His stuff is fool proof and I’ve enjoyed any of his recipes that I’ve tried. My favourite book is probably Jamie’s Italy, but you can’t go wrong with any (or all) of them!
- Weber’s Big Book of Grilling…where I go first when I’m looking to BBQ!
- Giada de Laurentiis…yummy Italian food… Everyday Italian is a fantastic cookbook!
