Some sample recipe titles:

Onion-Orange Brownies
Shredded Cheese Bananas
Monk Blebberra’s Crusted Carrots
Crockery Mist
Tamarind Bustard Beans
Choices Together Clam Lanting

Sauce-Lavy’s Mustard Cookies
Snup Fruit: Bright Grilled Evaporated Milk
All-Foag-Day Cream
Masty Bacon
Philips Chicken With Upright Cheesecrumbs
