A few words about recipes...
Nobody, and I mean nobody, creates recipes in a vacuum. I am often asked how I developed a particular recipe, and my answer always begins with the disclaimer that cooking and baking are as much community efforts as they are trial and error. One learns how to cook and bake from family, friends and mentors; from cookbooks, magazines and television programs; from dining out and (if you're me) bombarding the staff with questions; and from playing in the kitchen until you get it right.

The list of ingredients and procedures that make up a recipe aren't protected by copyright, but the photographs and text that accompany them are. I always credit the source(s) I consulted when I post a recipe unless I came up with the recipe without referencing another, or altered a source recipe substantially enough to make it original. (And I'm not talking about changing a few ingredients or ratios. I'm talking about taking it in a new direction.)

I'd be honored if you used the recipes I post on this blog -- a blog into which I put a tremendous amount of unpaid time, effort and love -- provided you link back to me as the source. However, please do not otherwise use my photographs or text without my permission.
