Philosophy

Following recipes automatically is a sign of an unimaginative mind, and as such, one should try to experiment and expand the palette. I have structured my favorite and interesting recipes as a dynamic document with my thoughts and musing on the recipes.

Thoughts

  • I think the book Kitchen Confidential by Antony Bourdain had some interesting thoughts related to making "haute cuisine" food.
  • The YouTube show Binging With Babish has a lot of easy-to-use recipes and does not contain that much fuzz, only the steps needed to do things. Makes it easier to see the clip and the cook. Also, the recipes are inspired by popular fiction.
