I HAVE BEEN WRITING a weekly recipe column, with much help from family and friends, for several years now. Reading recipes has always been a pleasure, I have more cookbooks than I can possibly use in a lifetime and now internet recipes pop up in my mailbox daily. I know that this experience has made me a better and more adventurous cook and a much happier eater. Thank you, Laurie, for making space in this amazing newspaper and to the readers for riding along on this tasty adventure.
