I have been given a beautiful recipe book, now I need to put something in it.

[ditavionteased]

I have no persdonal recipes, not resally much of a cook, love my book though and love the idea of filling it with fsamily recipes.
so any favourite recipes you can reccomend.
I am vegetarian, dc are coeliacs, dh will eat anything he is given.

I am the opposite, I have loads of recipes scrawled on bits of paper and nothing nice to put them in

I find them on various websites and things like BBC Good Food etc or in magazines and make a note of them - even if I never get round to cooking them!

thats like my mum. I tend tio cook stuff that either takes 2 minutes or I just chuck everything in and see what happens.

lovley soup receipe that i make at least once a month!

that sounds delicious, thanks that shall have pride of place as the first entry in my lovely book

I do the same as Bluebump, search various websites.

Epicurious is a good one, as is the BBC Good Food. I have done a couple of Delia recipes but find her to be a bit complicated and blathery.

Some of the very best recipes that I have tried out have been from the MN recipe section. I always look there first. Or ask if I have a particular dish in mind. I like that others have perhaps tried the dish and commented on it.

My favourite cake recipe at the moment is OMDB's Apple Streusel Cake.

I print the recipes onto index cards, laminate them and put them in an antique box that I bought in France in a second hand shop. Which combines my OCD tendencies with my poncy tendencies.

Ooh MmeLint, I have just bought some index cards to write mine on this week (that yummy soup recipe above has just gone on one!) - I just need to find something nice to store them in now!
