I made a little food blog so I could share recipes I adapt. I try to illustrate some element of the process, too, so I have an excuse to doodle. Thoughts & reflections are saved till the end so you don’t have to scroll through it all to get to the recipe.

Read what you want. Make what you want. Adapt as you please.

An illustration in marker of a frying pan from above. There are clearly 4 eggs in there, but what's around it is rather abstract mix of browns, yellows, red dots, golds, and bronze.

A watercolor illustration of a slice of the cake, in a bunt-pan shape of a slice. It has specks of green in a mostly yellow cake with a darkened line at the top as this is what would have touched the pan.
