A while ago in updating some old posts, I started keeping track of all the recipes and restaurant reviews I posted for each year. It was laborious, but really helpful when I wanted to look up what I posted when. I have plans to do similar lists for all the years, but the beginning years still have many recipes that need to be updated or rephotographed, and I haven't finished blogging the later years yet. Your best bet for finding recipes is still using the searchbar or main recipe index, but I figured you might enjoy looking at a photographic journey of 2009's recipes too. Plus, I finally blogged my last recipe for 2009, so I figured it should be celebrated, even in a small way.
What was interesting for me was the marked improvement of photographs after May 2009, since that was when I bought my new-used dslr camera. Even so, my #1 recipe for 2009, Bo Kho (Vietnamese Beef Stew) was photographed using my point-and-shoot, so it just goes to show that a nicer camera doesn't always mean the greatest hits.
