>How do you know everyone here's a good cook, or cooks in a style you'd >like? Just because someone on this list liked it is no guarantee I will. Indeed. For example, many posted recipes use canola oil (rape oil for those of us not living in North America), which I absolutely hate the taste of. Whether a recipe has been tried by the poster or not is of no importance as to whether or not it is to one's liking, though original recipes should be tested before posting. Tom
