We all want to make those cool meals that will turn everyone into Oliver Twist who always asks for more; we all want to feel the shrill and thrill of being applauded by family and friends for making a meal that they probably have not tasted anywhere before.

That may not even be the case for some of us. The thing is, we are tired of all those boring old skillet recipes, we want something new and fresh, something uncommon, something not a lot of people out there know; maybe something only master chefs and cooks in top restaurants know. So we end up daily online, looking for the best skillet recipes or maybe I should say 'The newest skillet recipes'.

So where can you find those skillet recipes? As a matter of fact, you know these recipes can be found online, at least, that's the place where information lives these days. While there are TV shows such as 'License to Grill', we may not be able to settle for that alone. However, most sites online have shallow skillet recipes; most of the time, they are the same recipes that we know that are on these sites. We always need a site that is frequently updated with the latest skillet recipes around. So I decided to shop around online to see if I can gather a few of them.
