Welcome to The Food Stories!

Steve and I decided (perhaps inspired by Julie and Julia) that it would be fun to start a blog to share recipes with friends and family. We recently got a new cookbook from the library called How to Cook Everything Vegetarian by Mark Bittman, who writes 'The Minimalist' column in the New York Times. We'll be exploring the recipes in that cookbook in the next few weeks, along with many others, and we'll post pictures and recipes in order to share our experiences with you. We hope that you will do the same, so that we can all learn new food ideas from each other, even if we're not close enough to actually taste each others' creations.
