Manifesto

I am always looking for new recipes to try, and I know my friends who read girl with flat hat do too. It occurred to me that it would be fun to have a blog dedicated to posting recipes. A sort of Carnival of the Recipes, but on a smaller scale, and not a moveable feast.

I'll post recipes I like when the mood strikes me. If you want to post yours too, email me at julietschwab@gmail.com and I'll add you as a contributer to the blog.

About the title: De Re Coquinaria is the title of an ancient Roman cookbook. Coquina is Latin for kitchen--not Ciceronian Latin, but later Latin. In classical Latin, it's culina, but that looks too much like a typo of cucina, which is kitchen in Italian. Yes, I am a geek.
