Best Recipes of 2004

Just One Per Month

As I update this page almost two decades later, it comes as no surprise that some of my oldest recipes remain some of my very best and favorite recipes: every single recipe on this page is on a 3x5 card kept in the old-fashioned recipe box (it was my grandmother's!) kept within close reach in my kitchen. That Alice Waters' Coleslaw? It tastes extra good with Mexican food and barbecue, I once made 20 pounds of cabbage worth for an after-wedding brunch! Beet lovers, you'll appreciate the borscht either with or without meat. I hope you love all these recipes too!

Each Month's Favorites from All Kitchen Parade's 2004 Recipes including Quick Suppers, Soups and Salads. All Whole Food, Made From Scratch & Family-Tested. Mostly Made with Simple Ingredients Relying on Pantry Favorites. Many Budget-Friendly & Weight Watchers-Friendly Recipes, One-Pot Meals, Year-Round Favorites, Seasonal Specialties.
