From our Kitchen

to Yours

I found this recipe at epicurious.com a few years ago and started bringing it to friends' houses. It quickly became a crowd favorite and was requested often. Now all my friends call it “Cat's Asparagus and Wasabi Dip” and bring it to their friends' parties. I feel badly that I'm getting the credit for it... is that recipe plagiarism?
