Welcome to The Ghetto Gourmet; a repository for the recipes that require quantifiable measurements I actually need to look up... and then some experimental stuff in development.

BUT BEFORE YOU BEGIN, click here

The recipes denoted with an asterisk (*) are considered "Recipes for the Extra Ghetto" and people with little time/skill to devote to preparing healthy meals.

Per a recent request, I've added a section for Zahnnie (who played a part in The Ghetto Gourmet through the college years) called "Zahnnie's High-Fallutin' Fancy-Pants Cookin' Section" which is where her collection of "recipes made to impress people" is located. Zahnnie's specialty is Moroccan cuisine, and she likes to cook things in her vagine tagine.

Caryatid included an awesome dietary analysis on one of my recipes which I thought added a lot of value. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go through each and every recipe and analyze it in through detail, so I have now added simple assicon scaling as an easy way for people to tell which recipes are healthy here and which are... less so. Please refer to the following scale:

(!) - Skinny ass. Denotes recipes that would be good as part of a diet for people who are health-conscious or trying to lose weight. Relatively guilt-free eating.

(_!_) - Normal ass. Denotes recipes that are generally healthy, and meant to be enjoyed regularly.

(__!__) - Desk ass. Denotes recipes that should probably be enjoyed in moderation, lest you get desk ass.

x_x - Heart attack. Okay, I know this isn't technically an assicon, but it's more accurate than saying "wide load". Denotes recipes that I would recommend busting out as special treats, because including them as a regular staple in your diet will probably give you a heart attack.
