Recipes for me are... a guideline in experimentation. Ingredients are modified according to what I have on hand, what needs to go first, and what I feel like savoring. Measurements are similarly modified and executed with a flagrant disregard for accuracy. Obviously, duplication is an impossibility. I copy the bits and pieces of other recipes that inspire me and, if I succeed, attempt to recollect all my alterations in this collection. Failing that, I fall back to the original--if I remembered to include it! ~Kory Jesslyn
