Some recipes are passed from generation to generation and are treasured as family secrets. Others are freely shared in books, magazines, and on the Web. Some faithfully evoke the traditional flavors of centuries-old cultures, while others innovate new flavors and textures that titillate the palate. What usually marks a great recipe is its ability to clearly describe the ingredients and process that, if carefully followed, yield a successful dish. Discuss your favorite dishes and recipes here.
