A New England journal of party food, menus and cooking for a crowd

HomeHouse rules

House rules

Welcome. By reading the journal you agree to these few rules.

The recipes and menus

Recipes, menus and quantities are written for home cooks and hosts and tested in ordinary kitchens. Ovens, ingredients and crowds differ, so use your judgment, check doneness with a thermometer and follow current food safety guidance when you cook for others. Allergy and dietary notes are general; ask your guests and read labels.

Using what you find here

You are welcome to cook from the site, print a recipe for your own kitchen and link to any page. Please do not republish whole pieces or photographs without asking.

Partner boxes

Some pages carry a box marked Partner. If you buy or sign up through one, the journal may be paid a commission. The shop or service is responsible for its products, prices and terms.

No catering here

This is a journal, not a catering business. Nothing on the site is an offer to cater, bake or supply an event.

Changes

These rules may be updated; the date below shows the last revision. Questions go to recipebox@sharonmyers.com.
