Love to cook from scratch. I was raised eating homemade meals all the time. I would love to help!

Regina Judson

Very late to the party but Patreon just emailed me this article. I would definitely be interested as well! I'd say I cook at least one Kenji recipe a week. Made your In n Out burgers Monday, simplified meatloaf Tuesday and combined recipes for leftover fried rice and red pork belly on top tonight. Planning for lemon roasted chicken and potatoes for Sunday!

absolutely. I am always curious to know how cook book authors decide which recipess get photos and which do not. I usually pay more attention to those with photos, even though I probably should not do that. For me, the more photos the better. I especially like recipies/dishes with multiple photos.

Hi Kenji - love it! Kent Beck is a thought leader in the software engineering world - he did exactly what you're talking about for his latest book (Tidy First?).
