So here's my progress, so far...
1. Sushi, never made it, love to eat it.
Yum. Still on the list - definitely want to make it soon as a lunch option for my 'lunchbox legends' series I'm planning..
2. Baklava - scared to bugger it up, but I'm going to give it a try
found a fabulous recipe - and I think I'm not far off making this one!
3. Brioche - an indulgence, but something I want to make for easter this year
I have the recipe I want to use.. bring on easter!
4. Pastry - want to make some pies and tarts this year - making pastry from scratch
I'm on the lookout for the pie tins I want (and pie weights too) am looking forward to this!
5. Preserve more. I want to preserve 6 things I never have before
OK, I've done some of this!
Preserving Pesto
Home-made spicy tomato sauce (ketchup)
Sweet Pickled Cherry Tomatoes
Easy and Versatile Plum Jam
6. Fondue - I used to make this on a regular basis but haven't for years - going to have a fondue party this year - I've got two fondue pots needing to be utilised.
I think this will be a winter dinner party - perhaps my birthday?
7. Pasta - I want to get the macaroni/pasta maker kitchenaid attachment and dry some pasta, I know it's cheap to buy the pre-made stuff but I'd like to have a go at least.
Money permitting! I think in the latter half of the year
8. Try 3 Julia Child recipes this year
I think this will be winter endeavour also
9. Make sausages from scratch
Looking forward to this, must start scouting out some ingredients/recipes
10. Discover at least two more direct sources of produce - maybe a few roadtrips are in order. (Hey maybe Lorraine will do the easter chocolate tour!!??!! *blatant hint*)
WELLLL I have plans - that's all I'm going to say!
Soo, what about you - have you got ONE food thing you can share you want to do in 2010?

Oooh I love baklava, but would be too scared to make it! Good on you!
re: making pasta. I make my own pasta pretty frequently, and apart from the initial expense of buying the machine (just a $50 pasta roller does the trick really), it's so simple and cheap!
I can't ever go back to regular bought pasta now! Fresh pasta is so much more filling, so it's better value for money that way as well. :-D
Good luck with your list! Can't wait to see the recipes/photos!
Hi Corrinne! Yes, I know! Scary but I think achievable now.. I think it's about having the *right* recipe IYKWIM?
Welcome T'lia! I currently do make my own pasta and have had a pasta maker for some years - The kitchenaid attachment I'm looking at makes spiralli, penne, macaroni amongst others! It's very cool!
