I posted the cake, look this week for the baked beans...

Lisa Pardo: About a year ago I decided it was about time to organize my recipes. I had my mom’s recipes on bits of paper everywhere. My mom was ill with breast cancer and shouldn’t be bothered with constant requests for lost muffin recipes. Those familiar recipes were the most dear to my heart because even when she couldn’t be with me I felt as though she were there. I filled my kitchen with scents of cinnamon, blueberries, roasts beef, pea soup, and other goodies. I cooked and wrote down the recipes as often as I could. Now, a year later I have a collection of about 200 recipes and I am still cooking every week. I was fortunate enough to study art in New York, Paris, Florence, and travel throughout much of Europe, picking up a love for food along the way. Working for a while as an Art Director in San Francisco, I spent every weekend exploring Napa Valley and all of its bounty. I think the concept for this blog page should be a kind of “girlfriends guide to cooking”. A place where friends can look up my recipes (because who else will visit this site?) and an opportunity to exchange ideas….
