Lately I’ve been collecting all my recipes, cooking tips, and cookbook recommendations in a new note taking app, obsidian. I’ve setup a script so whatever I write there is converted into this section of my site.
The following is my cooking digital garden. Content length varies from post-it note length to entire recipes or cook book reviews.
