Phil's Favorite Food began as a two volume cookbook I produced many years ago for a few friends with whom I exchanged Christmas gifts. Each year I gave the four of them the same gift and since they were all cooks, those two cookbooks seemed an appropriate offering. I'm pleased that the books were greatly appreciated and often (and I hear, still) used. Some years later, other friends I entertained discovered that their meals had come from these books, and when seeing them, asked me for their own copy. So I produced a few more. Those productions were a labor, but one of love.
When I started this blog, it seemed logical to give it the same title and to enter the recipes from those two cookbooks. At first, I tried to post recipes I thought appropriate to the season but when that rationale fell apart, I went back to the beginning of my volumes and just posted everything I had so far left out. As a result, since January when this all began, I've posted all the original 237 recipes and now those of you who have been following me have access to all the recipes (and accompanying comments) from the original volumes. With that work complete it now seems a logical time to bring this blog to a close.
My last post, an index of all 237 recipes, placed in appropriate categories and each showing the date of each posting, will enable you to find any recipe you might want. I hope you'll use this index as much as my original four friends, and that you'll continue to experience the food I've recommended here. I'm grateful to Facebook and to Google, the originator of this blogging service, for enabling me to share what started out as a gift to four friends with my Facebook-friends audience, as well as the wider audience I can see from statistics available to me that exists all over the world. Since the beginning, there have been 5745 hits on this site.
Good food is like love. It warms the heart. Enjoy.
