Big news on the blog! Starting this year, any time I write a recipe, along with all the usual pictures and jibba jabba, I’ll include a printable copy of the recipe for download. This one-page PDF document will be scaled down to include just the recipe ingredients and preparation instructions, making it easy to print, email, or save to your computer’s hard drive.  Here’s an example:

I’m particularly excited about the printing capability since it will allow me to quit sprinting back and forth between the kitchen and the computer at dinner time. (My dog will miss the trail of food I leave on the floor in my wake.)

To kick off the new year, I thought it would be fun to go back and add printable pages to each of my top 10 recipes of 2010.  These are the recipes that received the most traffic in the last year, and many of them are my personal favorites, too.  To download the PDF of each recipe, scroll to the bottom of the post and find the text, “click here for a printable copy of this recipe.”

Without further ado, here are Austin Gastronomist’s Top 10 Recipes of 2010, complete with printable recipe pages!
