Everyone has favorite recipes they've loved and lost. Lost Recipes Found exists to find them, reuniting home cooks with the recipes they miss most. Before publishing to the site, editor Monica Kass Rogers tests the recipes, photographs them, and adds a little write-up about the dish. Steph Cleaver does the drawings. And Todd Rogers gets everything coded and loaded. It's our hope that Lost Recipes Found will help preserve recipes--and the stories that go with them--before they are lost for good. Note: While we do our best to locate all recipes readers request, it's a time-consuming task and ultimately, some lost recipes elude us. We cannot personally communicate with each recipe requester. Nor can we publish all recipes we find.

A journalist for 27 years, Monica has written stories for many national, international and local publications. (Everything from the riveting "How to Select a Mop" to the helpful, "Picking the Perfect Tree":) But most of the stories she writes for a living have been about food and the food business. This Fall, Monica proposed and launched a monthly “Lost Recipes” column for the Chicago Tribune. Impressed by the depth of feeling people have about their food memories, and, with her own interest in finding and preserving recipes, Monica independently launched this site.
