Thanks so much to everyone who contributed culinary delights to the Riverside Series Recipes-and-Menus Contest! You must now click through and see them all, for they are a wonder to behold.

Over 100 entries, all of them fascinating, and very few alike - though if it were a ballot, the nominees would probably be Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy, The Necronomicon, The Book of Night with Moon, from Diane Duane's Young Wizard novels, the unabridged The Princess ( Read more... )
