Why recipe-less cooking is the next big thing
‘Your grandmother did it, everyone did it …’ Going off-piste in the kitchen can give confidence to ‘cave man’ cooks and also suit ingredient-conscious fitness gurus
Everyone’s grandma did it, and now chefs are encouraging a new generation to do it. They want you to cook without a recipe.
The decade-long rise of celebrity chef-dom, cult restaurants and kale has sparked a proliferation of technicians’ guides for the home cook – a selection that oscillates between the wildly narrow and those that claim to be foundational.
Now, cookbooks are as much food porn as instruction, leading to Amazon reviewers calling such manuals good “coffee table” books.
