Experimenting with Friends

Trying recipes with friends can be fun.  Just find a recipe you'd like to try and good friends who can role with punches; being willing to add a little extra liquid or raisins to give the recipe more interest.
All recipes are written with ingredients and basic instructions and can be made by a single person or with help.  They are also divided for two cooks if you wish to use them that way.

As you sit down with appetizers and a glass of wine you can decide on specific tasks for each person or just divide the recipes, letting the host be the supervisor or "go to" person.

In the above three pictures,  some wonderful friends let us try some recipes in their beautifully remodeled home.
Unfortunately, sometimes we were just having too much fun to take pictures, but even picture-less recipes are included in the recipe tab.
