wait Abena also these riffy food creations from the week actually all look delicious and well thought out! exactly the kind of thing I would imagine seeing videos of on Instagram and thinking, "Wow man I really need to step up my food game." funny the way it is
Who are some of the people whose food imaginations you love following here on Substack, Instagram or elsewhere on the internet?
> Rather than feel some type of way about how great someone can cook, why not try to learn from them? Instead of feeling not enough, I’ve found myself paying attention to techniques, taking notes, and seeing how I can make them at home. When I do fail (mostly from an aesthetic perspective), I pause, reflect, and give myself feedback. “Maybe next time, watch the temperature and try medium-low for longer.” “Add more fat ” “We definitely need another go at chiffonading.” are some of the little notes I scribble in my notes app.
I love this attitude. Beautiful reflection on your relationship to it all Abena!
