I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen — especially with baking, but also sometimes with cooking meals. This usually takes the form of taking an existing recipe and modifying it somehow, or sometimes looking up several recipes for something on the Internet and combining ideas from them into my own concoction. When I come up with a recipe that works, I write it down in a book, and as time goes on, I will go back and make changes.

Sometimes friends and relatives ask me for my recipes, which I’m always happy to send to them. But late in 2024, I decided that I had enough recipes that I would make them into a PDF document. I also decided to add some recipes that were in my mom’s recipe book, and I wrote an introduction, as well as notes on most of the recipes about where they came from or what they meant to me.

In August of 2025, I made a few revisions to some of the recipes, and I decided to post my updated PDF here. I’ve made updates since then too… So, you can download my recipe PDF (current version: September 2025). If I make more additions or revisions, I’ll post the new version here and update this page to give the date of the most current edition.
