Along the lines of your suggestion, I recall that my interest in this list was mainly due to the fact that people would be posting recipes that they, as a blind person, have prepared. They would post helpful hints and tips along with the recipe for those of us who might really appreciate and need them. I'm sure that I will misspell the last name, but does anyone remember Henry Casten? This is exactly what he would do in a lot of his posts. Now, it seems as though people get recipes from the Internet and other sources rather than posting stuff they have actually tried with success. To me, this is disappointing.

Also, I'd appreciate it if folks indicated if they'd made the recipe in
question or not. I'm more likely to get interested in a recipe someone has
made, especially without sighted help, than one that was just grabbed from a
net search and stuffed here to meet a request.
And while I'm thinking about it, if the person requesting something has any dietary restrictions, that'd be good to know so folks don't expend effort on
sending recipes that the requester can't eat or serve.

Subject: [CnD] a thought on recipe requests

Lately, I've seen recipe requests that are so broad, their responses will
flood inboxes.  If list members would be more specific on what they are
looking, it would probably cut down the list traffic.  Examples could be,
rather than asking for crock pot recipes, ask for crock pot roast recipes.
Rather than asking for recipes of Mexican food, ask for Enchilada or burrito
recipes.  Think a bit before you ask.  Any idea how many chicken recipes
there are? I'd venture a guess that there might be well into the thousands!
