August is here which means fall is sadly just around the corner. As a result, I figured featuring something autumnal was appropriate. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I think of fall I think of changing leaves, school starting and pumpkins and squash for sale everywhere. What better way to celebrate gourds than with the winning menu from [[:category:Iron Chef SA 003:Squash|ICSA 3:Squash]] from everyone's favorite goddess of food photography: [[:category:Kiteless's Recipes|Kiteless]]

Kenning has condensed and categorized the wisdom of the GWS cheese for optimal utility. Whether you be a total newbie, or a grizzled cheese veteran, this article aims to expand your horizons and stimulate your salivary glands. This guide divides cheese into several categories, such as blue, washed rind, etc. When a cheese doesn't obviously fit into one of the categories, it is categorized by the type of milk used. Expand your knowledge of cheese and find something new to try next time you're in a mood for fromage. My personal favorite is the Mizithra and Browned Butter pasta, especially as prepared by the Old Spaghetti Factory.

Great and Glorious Guide to Cheese, Pinnacle of Western Gastronomy

Kenning has condensed and categorized the wisdom of the GWS cheese for optimal utility. Whether you be a total newbie, or a grizzled cheese veteran, this article aims to expand your horizons and stimulate your salivary glands. This guide divides cheese into several categories, such as blue, washed rind, etc. When a cheese doesn't obviously fit into one of the categories, it is categorized by the type of milk used. Expand your knowledge of cheese and find something new to try next time you're in a mood for fromage. My personal favorite is the Mizithra and Browned Butter pasta, especially as prepared by the Old Spaghetti Factory.

Contributing

Please, dive in and help! We're a community run site and we need all the help we can get.

Don't stop with just recipes either, our guide sections will need lots of help too.

Jpfan01 has created a fantastic guide to help you get started with wiki formatting. You can access it from our Contributing page. Please follow the guidelines listed as it makes the editor's lives much easier.

Lastly, If you want to add a variation to another person’s recipe that is minor enough that it doesn’t warrant a completely new version, add it in a variations section at the very bottom of the recipe and sign with your user name Adding a ~~~ will add your username


We're hoping that eventually we'll be able to have this site as a quality recipe archive for all the tasty treats on the Goons with Spoons forum in the Something Awful Forums. This site can only be as good as its contributors though, so register and dig in.

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
