Almost Too Beautiful to Eat

avatar

Cookbook by

echo echo

[Cover photo by Bev.] Recipes with photos I just want to eat right off the page. People, I'm talking magazine-quality here. I don't own a digital camera, but I've been lucky enough to have other chefs post photographs of my own dishes for me; however, none of these appear here, because I don't want to play favorites with pictures from people who've helped me out. If you find a recipe that, on the basis of the default picture, does not seem to belong here, it is probably because a newer less high quality photograph has replaced the original one--clicking on the words "Larger Version" lets you see previous pictures including the one that earned a place here. (This will only work for those with Premium memberships.)
