I love cooking, and in a chaotic life, there’s something really wonderful about following a recipe and knowing that, more or less, it will come out the way it is supposed to. There’s also something wonderful about not following a recipe, and making whatever the heck you want!
I spent one summer cooking for my parents, and you can see the results of that project here, on a Tumblr that I really enjoyed making.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, I wrote a post about “cooking” good food without a real kitchen.
I used to have more recipes on this website, but I’ve cut down most of them and kept only the best. Here they are.
Asparagus and Gruyère bread pudding
Chicken and fennel pie with crème fraiche crust
Fried sesame noodles with carrots and broccoli
Loganberry buttermilk ice cream
Masa cakes stuffed with green chiles and cheese
