Adventures in cooking roundup

[eveglass]

Having now been cooking semi-regularly for a little over a year, I find myself with a rather large collection of "adventures in cooking" posts. I often like to go back to these when I'm re-making a dish, to remind myself of the challenges and pitfalls I may have encountered the last time, and also to remember whether I liked it. Unfortunately, it's getting a bit cumbersome to hunt through all those posts to find the one I want, so I decided to make a master list. I'm putting a list of links to all my previous cooking adventures, and will add new ones as they appear. This post will be on my profile page as well, in case anyone wants to reference it in the future.

Some of my oldest adventures in cooking, from before I moved out of my mom's house, are not on this list, because they weren't so much tests of new recipes as interesting and unexpected ways cooking could go wrong. In other words, funny, but not particularly necessary for reference. They're all still accessible via the "cooking" tag, though.
