cinghiale Posted March 2 Posted March 2 I’m sure we’ve all encountered it: hey, that recipe on the web sounds interesting, and then you have to scroll through interminable photos, dialogue and so on to get to the actual instructions, which invariably are underwhelming. Well this “chef” seems to think we need more of that - my eye! Quote “Online, sometimes recipes feel really deracinated, detached from the source,” she said. “It’s just so much more fulfilling, pleasurable, and honest to put food back in its narrative context. Food is inherently narrative. You’re making it for someone you love, you’re worrying over it. There are so many things that preceded that perfect recipe.” Can’t cure stupid Quote Quote
cinghiale Posted March 2 Author Posted March 2 Even Smitten Kitchen does it, but she keeps it to a minimum IMO. Quote
Orik Posted March 2 Posted March 2 So there's someone who doesn't know why online recipes are written this way? 1 Quote
relbbaddoof Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) Every such cookbook has an associated "T" dinner. Here's hers: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/t-magazine/tanya-bush-tea-party.html Note to the NYT: If @Orik invites me to dinner at his pad with Burger King whoppers* and fries as the main course, will you cover it? I'm sure he can supply mismatched stools and suchlike, and intellectual heft. I'll be the ugly face in the background. * My wife, as oblivious to america as is possible for someone brought up in Queens, once walked into a McDonald's and insisted on a whopper.
