including on-demand e-books! fun way to really dive into a particular cuisine without dropping $$ or find the one or two recipes you’d actually make again from whatever trendy cookbook du jour. or try something totally rando/obscure that is probably more vetted than a recipe from an affiliate-link-ridden blog. i checked out the e-book of “Indian-ish” by Priya Krishna like 11 times so i finally bought it, but knew by then that it was a good investment!

⭐got a text last week that my reservation on Justine Cooks by Justine Doiron was ready for collection. remembered after flicking thru it that i put it on hold months ago after seeing crispyegg420 on insta citing her tofu 'ndjua recipe. there are so many recipes i'm excited to try out <3

🍳One of my favorite books ever for cooking is The Flavor Bible! It's fascinating because it will share a word -- it can be a season, cooking style, or specific food product -- and it will list all the various flavors that go well with it. It can be super handy to have on hand to come up with recipes or understand what flavors go well together!
Also a Cooks Illustrated membership is totally worth it. It will teach you so much and the content is seriously endless. There are various free articles too if you want to get a taste. You can get a membership that also includes America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Country which I very highly recc. Great equipment reviews too!
Have fun and enjoy the journey :-)

When I get a new cookbook, I leisurely go through the entire book and mark, with post-it, the recipes I find interesting. The post-its are labeled alphabetically.
Once I am through, I create an index where the letter matches to the recipe.
Now, when I start thinking about what I want to eat this week, I can refer to the index and pick recipes from multiple books that match my current appetite and mood.

📰you need an account but soo many treasures. old scanned newspapers - search for people, buildings, events of the past, etc. found out that my grandma apparently crashed into a parked cop car in NJ in the 50s lol. so many ridiculous vintage advertisements on each page too

📚Stunning memoir. Absolutely immersive. Precise and heartbreaking writing by and about a woman who suffered her whole life and ultimately caused others to as well. Felt like a thrill and a privilege to live in the honest minutia of a real daily life in 1920s-50s Copenhagen, a world that was entirely unfamiliar to me previously. Bleak yet somehow sharply funny and delightful too!

🍺hear me out…i drink, but i don’t want to have alcohol every day. yet most evenings after work i crave a cold bitter refreshing relaxing transition back into regular life. aka a beer. i realized that what i’m craving isn’t even the buzz, just that ritual and the flavor i associate with it. soda is too sweet and hop water isn’t harsh enough. this brand is by far the closest i’ve found to the actual beer taste, though it’s not perfect. but totally suffices as an alternative 2 or 3 times a week.
