Last week, Bruce and I have passed a rather auspicious milestone. In just over ten years at this food-writing career, we have crafted, developed, and tested over 5000 recipes.
That's nuts.
Such a moment could only occur because of eighteen books and counting (that's way more than one a year--almost two a year in fact), zillions of feature articles (just now doing three features in a row for COOKING LIGHT this very week), four national columns running at different times over the years (and The Every Day Gourmet still up and going strong on weightwatchers.com), and even a couple cookbooks for persnickety celebrity types who insist on confidentiality agreements.
If you do the math, you'll realize that ten years = 3650 days--so we're talking more than one published recipe created every day. Sheesh. And my fat hips' damnation.
Was every recipe a winner? By no means! Sure, there are lots of great ones. Wait until you see the grits and ham casserole up this week on the blog. But oh, do we have some great stories.
