Food, glorious food This blog is dedicated to the magic and science that is food and cooking. To the ingredients, cooking methods and cuisines, that when combined in the right alchemy, turn simple, ordinary ingredients into something extraordinary. And my fascination with it.

Christos's Classic Cookbook: Mains is Complete!!!
I like most foodies love cooking magazines. And at certain point the time comes where the collection of these magazines becomes overwhelming. I don't want my shelves cluttered with them but I can't bear to throw them away. So I decided to clip the best recipes I could find and catalogue them in a binder. And so the C.C.C. was born. This was roughly 3 years ago and I'll have to admit I have been working on it sparatically. So the clipping began and as I was cutting out the recipes I have been collecting for possibly the past 10 years from magazines and the internet. I soon realized I was "going to need a bigger boat" So I broke them up into Volumes. As of right now there are 4. Appetizers, Vegetables, Mains, and Desserts. Knowing that over time I will be adding and removing recipes I catalogued the pages in groups of ten rather than numbering each page. As the years go on I will keep on adding to the collection So I may break it down into even more Volumes, Pastas, Fish, etc. But as of this morning I am happy to say it is complete. Over 240 pages of Breads, Soups, Pastas, and Meats,Condiment, Rubs, and Sauces. All in one go-to book. Now onto Appetizers, or maybe Desserts. That one seems like it's going to be a big one.
