Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Good Morning; My name is Karen. I am an artist and I cook for a house full of roommates. I love to develop basic recipes that can be altered to suit seasonal produce, and I love to try new foods and meet new people. I raise cooking herbs in my " potted " garden, and I travel a lot with my sketchpad. I'm not very knowledgeable regarding vegetarian or vegan replacements for animal products, so please feel free to chime in on that regard to any recipe I provide, if you feel that butter or milk might not be appropriate. I make some ingredients that I can't always buy, including exotic spice mixes, herbal cooking jellies and veggie broths. I also experiment with old recipes from medieval manuscripts. My kitchen is too messy to pass for Martha Stewart's, and I'm always running out of wine... Favorite cookbook: Monastery Soups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Welcome Karen! Any old manuscript recipe that turned out well and that you would like to share? this sounds interesting. I also find that growing herbs helps tremendously in cooking, it does not matter how humble the ingredients, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and it becomes gourmet food. roseta @ los angeles , " outofelfwood " <outofelfwood wrote: > > Good Morning; > My name is Karen.
