One thing I have always wondered is why so many of you guys "invent" things to cook. Given the hundreds of excellent cookbooks out there, plus the near limitless availability of recipes on the internet, why not pick a long-established recipe and make it? Why so many Franken-dishes?

I'm reminded of the pie that Livi made the other day, shown in another thread. He takes a recipe from a cookbook and substitutes anchovies and onions for whatever was supposed to be in there... Anchovies? Onions? FIVE onions, in one "pie"?
