Food
Originally, the recipes were drawn from my Chef’s Compendium (a tightly packed handbook, an inch thick, with about 400 recipes). Over the years (since school), my research and ruminations on spices, tools and techniques has broadened and matured, leading to new inspirations and applications. I am now at the point where the Web site supports the Chef’s Compendium, which now has about 560 recipes.
