I'm an avid wanna-be home cook, always wishing I had more time to spend cooking.

I think it would be great to have a lesson on the general principles one should consider when trying to put together a menu-on a simple and complex scale. It's all a mystery to me how this happens. I know when I see a recipe I want to try in isolation...but how to put them all together for a great meal??

On a related note, how to plan your time so that the food all comes together at the same time...this came to mind while checking out the Thanksgiving dinner video.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Good idea for sure Faye, this is something that we are going to tackle a bit down the road...stay tuned.

Thanks Dawn. The silence was deafening. I know it's not a simple topic.
