That recipe meme

[mojosmom]

These are the 101 "classic" recipes "everyone should know," according to Raymond Sokolov, author of The Cook's Canon. Bold the ones you can make competently, with or without a recipe. Italicize those which you've tried once or twice, but either didn't like, or don't plan to make again. Put an asterisk next to those which were culinary disasters.

All dishes are assumed to be made from scratch. Take credit for reasonable variations.

Well, that sure is a way to lead to feelings of total inadequacy. I did feed a family of 6 for a number of years but the actual dishes on that list that I could make were very few. They did all grow to adult hood - apart from MrFan who was already there, and me of course. You did really well on what was a weird list though. Well done.
