101 Recipes Challenge

The challenge: conquer 101 new to me, classic recipes

The deadline: 1001 days from today. August 12, 2013. A worthy, but realistic, goal.

The objective: for one girl to learn that the kitchen isn’t such a scary place after all.

My co-conspirator: Emily, from Halfway Down the Stairs. Want to join us? Email me!

Here’s the list so far. It’ll be added to and edited as I go. Feel free to suggest recipes for me to learn. Send me your favorites. What do I absolutely need to be able to cook in order to function in the world?
