A note from Oli

before submitting a dish please read our club rules and TOS on the main page Hey all,
So Chris sent me a note asking for some advice about why a recipe is required. My job has had me pretty busy so I hadn't really gotten the chance to really look things over and see what's going on.
The reason we require a recipe is because as a community we should help each other learn and grow. This club was made when an old friend and I began swapping recipes for fun. Some of the things we made were just taught to us by family (you know the old granny 'use a pinch of ____') and that meant we had to figure out exactly how much of what was good for what we were trying to make. So even though we didn't have a recipe written down- we went through the effort of writing it for each other.
I ask you guys treat each other with the same consideration. This is meant to be a collection of shared knowledge, talent, and joy. If you make something that you don't have a recipe for, then take the time to write things down. I know 'professional cooks' don't do this, but not everyone is a professional and you're not really helping others to learn and grow by saying, "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO! No. I will not help you learn to do it."
That's all I have to say on the matter. :)

That's honestly exactly it. Also, if this place turned into a cooking display case I would be pretty upset. :/ I have had many a nice dinner (or lunch, or dessert, or breakfast!) from the recipes here. If I get really stuck I can always look here and find something yummy to make.
I will fess up to that... Though mine senile is caused by a toddler :D
