cookabilityLet's kick things up a notch!
Something that my wife/kitchen buddyrooibos and I would love to do and share with the community is make really complicated recipes into low-spoon friendly things. We both love things involving the kitchen, and we have complimentary annoyances so what I can't do, she can and vice versa.
But what would be the point in breaking down a lovely, complex Julia Child recipe only to find that no one else cares? Right. To combat that, it's poll time!
Keeping in mind that we are both vegetarians and will work these recipes out as our schedules allow, we'd like some feedback about interest in various options.
If you have a favorite recipe or a recipe tucked away in a cookbook that has always struck your fancy, but you haven't worked out how to break down the work, please do comment so we can pursue those things, too! She and I are up for all sorts of wild adventure in the kitchen.

If a very complicated recipe could be done over the course of several days, would it be more appealing?
