Anyone who likes to cook will tell you that part of the fun of cooking is sharing good recipes. At TerisKitchen.com, you will find hundreds of tried-and-true recipes from my family and personal collection, plus several hundred shared recipes submitted by contributors. In addition to the recipes, there are menus for every day and special occasions, cooking tips, resources and much more. On this page, I will post featured menus and collections, as well as new content and revisions to the site as they occur. To see more and to find specific recipes or information, you can browse the Recipes, Features and Resources Index or use the search boxes and lists throughout the site. I hope you will enjoy what I have to offer.
This month is the 30th anniversary of TerisKitchen.com. It started with a desire to learn how to build a website at a time when there were very few web design software programs. I had to start from scratch, but I loved the challenge and the process. First, I had to choose a subject and I immediately decided to feature my family's Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes. To this day, the website is probably best known for that collection. However, shortly thereafter, I decided to post other recipes from my family and friends, as well as many of my own creation. It was not long before generous people like you were sending me their favorite recipes, which I post in the Shared Recipes section. Eventually, I branched out, adding menus, resource pages, seasonal features and much more, all of which can be found in the Recipes, Features and Resources Index or monthly features on this home page. Because I love trying, creating and sharing new dishes, the list continues to grow. Thanks to all of you for your interest, contributions and continued support.
Every season is special in its own way, and each has its own offerings of fresh produce. In this day and age, we can get most types of produce all year long from various sources. However, local, seasonal products are usually tastier and less expensive. For example, there is no comparison between the taste of tomatoes in winter and those from your own garden or local farmers. I have chosen summer vegetables that can be found anywhere, such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, beans, corn and cucumbers. I listed some of my favorite recipes for showcasing the produce in main dishes, side dishes and other presentations in which they are the main or key ingredient. Most of the recipes are quick, easy and healthy. Although there are other types of summer vegetables, what I chose are the most popular and very easy to find. This page does not include all of the recipes posted on TerisKitchen.com that use summer vegetables. You can find more using the search box or by browsing the Recipes, Features and Resources Index.
