Nowadays I literally only cook w/ my notebook in hand. I basically don’t use recipes anymore and take notes of everything like I’m doing a lab report it’s super fun and allows me to be much more creative and bold while cooking

The pages of my favourite recipes are always fucked up (well loved)! I annotate as I go so I can actually remember what went wrong last time/what worked/future mods. If I wing a dish and it turns out really well, I write it down. All this note taking has made me a much better + more intentional cook. When I was relying more on digital recipes, I was simply losing my thoughts and ideas to the ether.
We live in the future! Why would I scroll on my phone if I don’t have to?

are so comforting and special. the nyt cooking app is nice but nothing will ever touch cooking with a book open on your counter. get those pages messy and mark the recipes up with notes ! much more enjoyable than tapping your phone with food-covered hands to keep it unlocked.
buy more mugs. hang up your pots and pans.

I admittedly have a lot of pet peeves, but leading the pack is online recipes of any stripe. Food blog, bon apetit post, tiktok caption…they're all a nightmare, and I hate them. I ✨hate✨ them!!! Who wants to click out of a half dozen pop up ads with messy hands and stuff going on the stove? Who is that experience for?? Especially when nearly every recipe you could ever hope to need or imagine already exists in libraries and thrift stores (both of which offer both cookbooks and food magazines!).
that being said… I’m not above referencing Smitten Kitchen or Sally’s or Modern Proper. But i’ve taken to physically writing down those recipes ahead of time, and it’s amazing how much it improves the cooking/baking experience both in terms of easy reference and also in the way it helps me mentally think through the process.
I recommend physical recipes!!!

Absolutely heartbreaking and devastating, but one of the best albums I’ve listened to in recent times
I love the mellow guitar vibes and the vocals are just perfect in every way to encapsulate the nostalgia and melancholy of the themes the album talks about
Just listen to it, trust me

It’s the only book by Dostoiévski that I’ve read to completion, but it still managed to become one my fav books of 2023 (when I read it the first time). It’s really short, but still a great read!
Also on another note, if you’re looking for something to read in the morning I’d recommend subscribing to The Creative Independent, one of my favorite places on the internet! I’ve linked their website so you can check it out.

She is a Brazilian chef, owner of a michelin star restauran. Her dishes are so creative, and truly define food as an art for me, her use of different ingredients native to Brazil, alongside her mastery of different techniques and presentation is just spectacular.
And on top of that, she is an incredibly creative person. She is a painter, a mother and one of the very few people I actively follow and look forward to on the wasteland that is instagram. Give her a follow, you’ll love it.
