The recipes on this page are favorites of Rachel Silverman, Ny Martin, and Ailsa Ek. Ailsa coined the term Too Much Food, which is, of course, the best way to cook for one's friends, particularly musicians, science fiction fans, gamers, or any other large group of hungry people. We believe that if you cook Too Much Food for your friends, you're really cooking Just Enough. And it's generally cheaper than going to a restaurant!
So here are some recipes, organized somewhat by category.

You can probably get most of these from the bookstore of your choice... some are hand-me-downs or things I picked up at used bookstores. I like Powells fairly well as a bookstore, but I also try to patronize local small bookstores.

Note: All of my cooking terms are from the USA, where I learned to cook. However, I know from experience (as when I tried to cook for friends during a recent trip to the UK) that terms like eggplant, zucchini, cornstarch, etc. can often get blank looks. See the alt.callahans Cookbook for translations.
