Hello, all! Gearing up to start a new journey and want to try to cover my bases, and butt, if you must...LOL
Like anyone who likes to eat and cook my inspiration comes from many places: Memories, other peoples' cooking, restaurant fare, street fairs, cookbooks, cooking shows, recipes received in my email (that's probably the MOST emails I get these days), cooking sites, TV shows. Not all my recipes are original, and I do try to give credit where its due, as far as I can be sure. The point is that I am not trying to steal, or take "credit" for recipes that are not my own. I am, however, sharing what I use, how I use it, or change or alter it.
I posted a copyright notice earlier in this blog, so, while I might be inspired by another published recipe, any changes or alterations are mine, and it is only the alteration that I am copyrighting. Some recipes are "family" recipes, and I include that information the story, some recipes are from something I had in a restaurant and tried (and succeeded) in coming up with something similar; for example my "lobster fondue" recipe is only called that because it was inspired by a recipe of the same name by a famous national restaurant chain that has "lobster" in its name. My "take" ended up not being a fondue at all, but a bisque that tastes very much like its namesake, but in a different form. The entry credits where the inspiration came from but the recipe is mine because I changed it to a completely different dish, although very similar in taste, there is a vast difference between a fondue and a bisque. Some recipes are merely inspired from others.
I promise to do my utmost best in giving credit to my inspiration, or to directing my readers to the source of my inspiration, to the best of my ability.
I do not earn anything from sites I refer to or direct you to. I'm not in this for money. Although I will not rule out accepting referral credits in the future. Not there, yet.
I strongly recommend you follow basic safety measures if you decide to try any of these recipes, when handling knives, scissors, cleavers, stoves, ovens, food processors or any other kitchen equipment I mention in these pages as I cannot accept responsibility of your kitchen equipment. If in doubt, don't try any of my suggestions at home.

Probably doesn't cover it completely, but I'm trying. And I detest the need to post this. CMA.
Try to enjoy.
Aunt Barbara
