Intro

Most people develop an interest in cooking while they are growing up or they don't. I was never seriously interested in cooking or baking while I was growing up. I dabbled now and then, but my culinary talents amounted to heating up pizza pops in the microwave or making KD. Some of my more ambitious efforts ended in disaster and more often then not heartburn. Then I grew up and I ended up spending a lot of time in a kitchen working at a fly-fishing camp. I worked with the most amazing woman who could make anything. She was an incredible cook and an inspiration to me, and finally, from her, I learned to cook, to improvise, and to have fun while doing it. I want to pass on some of the recipes that I have found and learned. Some are left exactly as I found them and others are tweaked here and there. I will try to include a source with each one to the best of my memory, but some are hard to place so forgive me if I make a mistake or list a recipe under the wrong source.
