I would suggest, and this is only a suggestion...
From Couldruns to Crock Pots in Collins Cooking
I'm sure Angelique's was not the type to sit and brewed over a hot couldrun all day, her speciality would be salads, "Angelique's Wicked Garden Salad" made from the freshest ingrediants straight from the garden patch using her keen seance of just the right herbs and spices Angelique can make a mean Salad...
Maggie has always been a seafood lover since her days behind the counter at the Collinsport hotel dinner her favorite recipe of "Lobster Roll" was always the hit with the lunch time guests.
Vickie never understood why Mrs. Johnson fussed so much in the kitchen when her favorite recipe of "Foundling home stew" a meal that can stretch for days afterward would be perfect for the Collins dinner table.. night after night.
Carolyn is just a home town girl at heart she enjoys food that grooves baby! "Hot dogs on a biker bun" is only one of Carolyn's favorite recipes
Mrs. Johnson is a woman with Maine charm and her "New England boiled dinners" is her idea of a good meal, and one she can't burn.
Elizabeth would rather let the help worry about the preparation of the meals, although shortly after letting the help go to become the famous recluse Elizabeth found that bustling around in the kitchen taught her one thing... how handy it was to call for take out dinners...Elizabeth was always the "Coffee, tea and cakes" lover.
Laura's favorite recipe was always the "flaming sishkabobs!" for obvious reasons.
Josette's favorite recipe of "Josette's crokets" were a Collins family favorite as well.
For Dr.Julia Hoffman's busy hours hard at work over a hot microphone, I mean.. microscope Julia's favorite recipe of "Hoffmans hot hash and beans" was just the right picker upper. Of course having Barnabas hold her hand had the same effect. <G>
For Barnabas in his vampire state, leaned towards the oriental side of meal time... "anyoungthingsneck" was his favorite recipe.
Roger's favorite recipe was of course two servings of "Rogers Brandy" with a Sherry chaser.
David's idea of a great recipe was "David's Muskee"
freshly caught while fishing with Burk Devlin.
Willie's favorite recipe is of course "hidden treasures" pot pies.
