Hi

some of your posts made me think of a book that was a huge best seller here in Australia for a while called 4 – every recipe in it has only four ingredients- great for busy families!
I just looked up their website to get more info and see they are looking for recipes for their next book- could be fun- I understand they publish your name:

Me myself, for weekend food, I don’t mind spending a morning shopping for stuff and an afternoon in the kitchen- but Monday to Friday not much gets on my table that takes longer than 30 minutes to make!

Too many ingredients, especially unfamiliar ones, will make me move along to something else. <br/><br/>Of course, I always have to ask the additional question, "will Mr. Jelly Belly eat this?" - and the answer is usually "no". Sigh. The challenges of cooking for a fussy eater... As I was reading, I realized my criteria is exactly the same as yours.

I have to say the length of ingredients gets me, too. It's especially important if I don't normally get that stuff--like the spices. Good to think through this stuff!<br/><br/>~Shaye<br/><br/>http://millermemoir.blogspot.com Oooh, I like your list of criteria. I have to say the length of ingredients gets me, too.

I don't like long ingredient lists and I stray away from really strange ingredients or ingredient I don't like or I know my family will not like. My criteria is similar to yours.
