Over the years, Diane and Tom have gathered and developed multitudes of recipes. We would like to share some of our favorites with you. Our intent (as Emeril Lagasse would say) is to "kick it up a notch." As a result, we offer recipes that are different or have an unusual twist on a familiar theme. These are not really hard to do, but may take some preparation and organization. So instead of the old stand-by's, like Chocolate Chip Cookies or Carrot Cake, you'll find dishes to put some zing into your parties.
We have recipes in the 18 categories below. For Tom's Award winning recipes, look under:
