One of the things I do when I'm not hacking is to cook. I like to experiment, and I find that a number of recipe books really don't explain things at all well, or they omit important details. In this directory I'm collecting my recipes and links to other sites.

Recipes

I have a large number of recipes online. They're not all mine, but simply a way to keep track of things. Many have comments.
