Kudos, Peter! I have tried a few recipes folks have posted here, but it's
*extremely* doubtful I'd consult rfr. Likewise, I've rarely relied on
"google" (or whatever the search engine du jour was at the time) to find a
recipe. That's what cookbooks are for
If I really enjoy something in a
restaurant I often set out to to re-create it at home. I may ask for
opinions here, but it certainly doesn't require the Internet or Usenet.
Just a decent palette, the right ingredients and a little trial & error
