RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I've always been inspired by gourmet cooking but hate the time and huge ingredient lists required so I'm continually on the lookout for recipes which are quick and easy to make but taste gourmet. And I love anything that can be made-ahead so that when it's dinner time, I can relax.
Being that I'm not so great at creating my own recipes, this site is perfect for me -- and has finally helped to limit my cookbook buying!
