Tired of the chicken-pasta-fish routine? Then leaf through these pages of kitchen-tested recipes for inspiration. Using recipes culled from newspaper food editors, invented in a recipe game, and adapted from published cookbooks and internet sites, the authors offer out-of-the-ordinary dishes that are accessible to an average cook in an ordinary kitchen--dishes that actually work. Though the ingredients may be surprising, as in Green Chile Maple Brittle, or the preparation procedures unorthodox, as in Eggs Cooked for 12 Hours in Turkish Coffee, these dishes can be served--and enjoyed--with pride.
