About Recipe

The original tagline for this blog, when I started it all those years ago, was “When all else fails, cook.” I was very, very ill at the time, up to my cheekbones* in an autoimmune disorder that was threatening to take me out once and for all. Back then, I cooked as a form of self preservation. It was a sanity-saving measure that distracted me from everything else that was going on. When things so wonky in life something drags me to the kitchen, even if I have no energy and the lethargy is heavy enough to wear as an overbearing winter scarf. It’s my coping mechanism and it’s incredibly satisfying to rewire the badness, reshaping that dark momentum into creation. Kind of like telling myself I’m not stressed out, I’m excited! See, brain? That pulse-pulse-pulse is a good thing.
