Recipes

Recipes aren’t a major feature of this site. Why not? Because I believe they can be a deterrent to cooking. If you’re new to the kitchen, you’re probably familiar with the panic that comes from a long list of ingredients.

Minimal recipes are often boring or dependent on processed foods high in salt.

This approach has made me a more confident cook and has resulted in less wasted food. It’s the approach I’d like to share with you. Here’s what you’ll find in my recipe posts:
