I admittedly have a lot of pet peeves, but leading the pack is online recipes of any stripe. Food blog, bon apetit post, tiktok captionā¦they're all a nightmare, and I hate them. I āØhateāØ 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 saidā¦ Iām not above referencing Smitten Kitchen or Sallyās or Modern Proper. But iāve taken to physically writing down those recipes ahead of time, and itās 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!!!
