A Tuesday special: Five mini-essays in one newsletter!
Trigger warning: I am about to use the word "spatchcock."
Once they brought "ethnic" cuisines together on a single menu. Now they're frozen in time. What happened, and can they be revived?
For me, learning to cook meant learning to freestyle. Now, when I come face-to-face with precise instructions for a dish, the results aren't always pretty.
On large-format cooking, and larger-format writing.
On the comedy of cannibalism and the tragedy of failed foodies.
On hate-eating and the burden of consumption.
A lesson in cooking, and in love.
