Concoctions: The anti recipe? no. after giving it thought, I realize concoctions inevitably become a recipe in its own way.(also, can being “for” something stop meaning we have to be “"anti” something else?)((but to be honest, anti recipe was my immediate initial thought. lol))intuitive cooking? based off a lifetime of tasting experiences, thanks to recipes (ironically).okayyyyyyyy. so what’s the difference and why do I feel so averse to one over the other?After all, a recipe is just the fine tuned & recorded end point of intuitive concocting. Essentially it’s all the same thing and the only thing that’s different is our relationship to our perception of the words and their implications.They are both beautiful.But this share will be about my deep dive into embracing my instincts in the kitchen and letting go of forcing myself to do it any other way.Every single thing you do has this innate wisdom to it. There's a strategy that you're tapping into for whatever you do when you're doing it instinctually- in the way that is natural to you. Instead of looking around at how it’s outside of the norm, the way it's usually done, or the way that most people understand- instead of using that as a weapon against yourself, maybe take a breath and look at whatever it is you're doing through this lens of neutrality. Maybe it’s not subpar. Maybe it’s more than enough. Maybe it’s fucking genius.Interest in the visual version of this episode?Subscribe on Substack here & join the community <3
