The “someday” list
June 27, 2015 by DarciePeople who love to cook are always on the hunt for new recipes. We pore through cookbooks, read dozens of websites, follow chefs on Twitter, and make bookmarks everywhere for dishes that we’d like to try. Some of us keep these lists online, in notebooks, or in a folder filled with pages torn from various magazines. (Of course we index all of them here on EYB.)
But not all of these wonderful inspirations end up on our plates. Maybe it’s a missing ingredient that we never remember to buy, the fact that we can’t find the time for a multi-step recipe, we aren’t sure our family will like it, we’re hesitant to stray from a tried-and-true recipe, or perhaps something more tempting comes along. Yet we don’t get rid of those inspirational recipes (at least I don’t) – they linger in our folders or lists,
I have several of these “I’m going to make that someday” recipes: a fried ricotta-filled zucchini blossom recipe bookmarked online (and pictured at top), a Jacques Pépin raspberry and kirsch jelly roll recipe torn from a magazine and beginning to turn yellow around the edges, a cornstarch ice cream recipe that all of my friends rave about, and an Argentine empanada recipe given to me by a friend. All of them ended up on the list for a reason, and I still aspire to make each and every one. Maybe I’ll try that ice cream recipe tomorrow…but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Which recipes linger in your “someday” list?
