One of the reasons I like recipe websites like All Recipes, Epicurious, and Food Network so much is because of the reviews. When other people describe their experience making a recipe, be it a success or a disaster, informs my decision whether or not I will prepare a dish. But for some reason I’ve never posted my opinion on one of their boards.

Now that has changed. Starting today, I am a bona fide recipe reviewer for Leite’s Culinaria. It is a great-looking site featuring recipes from popular and critically acclaimed cookbooks and much more. My assignment is to make at least 1 recipe each month from a select list before they are featured on the site. Unfortunately, as part of this secret society I can’t post the recipes or pictures here. Oh, and there’s no moolah involved. But if I stick with it for a year I can add it to my resume!
