Fix My Recipe

chefImage.jpg If your homemade eggplant lasagna recipe tastes like garbage after several attempts at perfection, consider submitting it to Fix My Recipe, a website dedicated to taking less than stellar reader recipes from around the country and fixing them via short film. Chef Billy Parisi is the man behind the fixing and has assisted readers with his take on everything from chocolate butter cream, Asian seared duck breast, steak au poivre, and guacamole. Videos are all under five minutes long and unlike many online cooking videos, are not annoying and actually fun to watch. Recipes ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, dessert, sauces, soups, and salads (whew) are also written out on the website for your convenience.

He also wants you to know he’s single, living in Chicago and looking for ladies. (Really. It’s on the website.) So if you have any recipes that need reworking or match.com isn't quite working out, email him at chef@fixmyrecipe.com and you may get your recipe featured. Or a chef date.
