How a recipe earns its spot here

I don't publish things I wouldn't hand my sister. Here's the unglamorous part.

01

I spot the trend

A dish blows up online, a reader begs for it, or I just can't stop thinking about it. Either way, it goes on the "to test" list on my fridge.

(the fridge list is long. very long.)
02

I cook it more than once

Once to see if it works. Again to fix what didn't. A third time to make sure you can reproduce it with normal groceries and a normal stove.

batch 4 of the cookies was a pancake. oops.
03

I write it like I talk

Plain English, the mistakes included, the little tricks in the margins. Then I update it later when I find a better way.

no "elevate your" anything. promise.
