TSP Sisters in the Kitchen
WE TSP SISTERS LOVE TO COOK. To help you find the most delicious results of that passion from throughout our blog network, we’ve put together this page of highlights: posts about professional foodies; about hand-me-down recipes from auxiliary cookbooks; some food humor, TSP-style; and just some of our favorite recipes. Enjoy.
The Fearless Gluten Free Girl
Shauna James Ahern (above, with baby Lucy) is at the center of a sisterhood (and a brotherhood) of passionate cooks who follow a gluten-free diet but don’t compromise their palates.
A New Cookbook, and a Sister Tale
Elana Amsterdam’s new cookbook, The Gluten Free Almond Flour Cookbook, caught our attention, and we think her sister story will catch yours.
Gillian Clark Dishes Up Comfort
A sister to four siblings and mother of two sisters, popular chef Gillian Clark of the Washington, DC, area serves up comfort in her cuisine, and in her approach to sisterhood.
In the Kitchen With the McColls
Our favorite redhead duo, Katy and Sarah McColl, offer the only cocktail-party recipe you need, and it couldn’t be simpler.
My Favorite Cooking Blogs
Besides the great recipes and how-to, the welcoming sisterhood and brotherhood of passionate cooks Sister Paige turn to in the food blogosphere provide light at the end of the paper tunnel–that heap of cookbooks and magazines that’s threatening to take over her entire house.
HAND-ME-DOWN RECIPES: LADIES AUXILIARY COOKBOOKS
We Flip for Potato Salad
What more can we say? Some great old recipes, if the video isn’t enough.

The Recipes Go Round and Round
Marion Roach Smith’s in-laws swapped recipes and gossip and love in a round-robin newsletter for generations, starting with eight Depression-era siblings.
The Ladies Auxiliary: Meet the Cooking Benton Sisters
Paige shares a nearly vegan cookbook featuring the recipes of the cooking, singing, big-haired Benton Sisters.
Tuna Casserole Chronicles
If cooking is a sisterhood, these lovingly compiled auxiliary volumes deserve to be remembered and retried, or at least smiled about: How about a thrifty tuna bake, sisters (as in tuna casserole, anyone)?
Mmmmeatloaf. So Lady-Like.
Tracing meatloaf to its family-favorite origins, Paige dishes up its history and her favorite auxiliary recipes along the way.
KITCHEN HUMOR
Teaching John to Cook
Not funny, exactly, but more tender, a four-part series by Marion about teaching a brother-friend in need to cook.
From Tripe to Tofu and Back Again
Why some recipes from her mother’s childhood were never (and probably won’t be) passed down to Sister Anastasia.
Spam Chop Suey Reveals Genetic Code!
Only Sister Marion could find the key to the genetic code in her mother-in-law’s hand-me-down recipe for Spam Chop Suey.
Comfort Me with T-Shirt Turkey
Straight from her mother-in-law’s recipe box, Marion gives us the “Paul Evans T-Shirt Turkey Recipe.”
OUR FAVORITE RECIPES
Summer Fest 2009
Sister Paige contributed to this cross-blog spectacular, and oops!, it turned out to be more than a recipe swap when she tried to bake pie with her mom. The Perils of Pie (and a recipe for tarte tatin).
Tis the Season to Swap Cookies
Childhood cookie-baking memories aside, the code words for this grown-up sisterly cookie swap: bourbon, and no-bake.
Celebrate with Sister’s Cake!
When we want to celebrate an occasion on The Sister Project, what better cake than one from one of the last Shaker sisters?
Sisters In the Kitchen: Slow Down
With a sister-friend’s recipe in hand, Sister Paige test-drives her new Crock Pot, her first in a lifetime of cooking. Get the dish, and a recipe for the best tomato soup ever.
Veggie Fritters With a Heaping Side of ‘I Hate You’
When Anastasia invited her brother over to cook their favorite veggie fritters for dinner, would-be bonding quickly went “bam,” instead.
Cross-Country Cooking With My Sister-in-the-Kitchen
The way to a sister’s heart is by sharing recipes. Like the latest brisket that sister-friend Chris recently emailed to Paige.

A dessert she was famous for, as the chef-owner of Colorado Kitchen.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.

For the adventurous in food and travel, here’s a recently-discovered food blogging jewel by “a broad living abroad,” as she calls herself, in Tajikistan. She says:
“I’m me, and a wife and the mom of two living in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. I’ve walked away from the working world to spend more time with my two girls while they still like me. My days are varied – some days are spent fixing things, other days are spent on hunting and gathering food stuffs but most days find me in the kitchen making dinner from scratch for my family. My life is not ordinary. It’s sometimes freakishly out of control. But mostly it’s a very full life.” http://fromscratchistan.blogspot.com/.
Welcome, Petra, and thank you for the very interesting an unusual link. Hope to see you again soon.
