About

Welcome to this humble repository of my food. My name is Alex, and I am not a professional chef. I started cooking when I was around sixteen years old for myself and others around me as a hobby. In 2020 I obtained a PhD in Mathematics, afterwhich I began a career in data science. I continued that career to this day, and am currently employed by Pinterest.

I originally made this collection of recipes for myself, within an obsidian vault. Frankly, I had grown tired of the state of recipe retrieval on the internet. I could not look up a roasting temperature, or a cooking time, or an ingredient ratio without having to scroll through an entire blog post and a dozen advertisements. Although I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, I am not a professional chef. I do remember how much baking powder to put in my pancake batter. I also had a collection of personal tweaks to popular receipes, along with my own creations so it seemed helpful to create a recipe book for myself. I found it to be useful and, as a friend of mine says, sharing is caring. This website will serve as a collection of my recipes, my thoughts on food and food preparation, and any related ventures.

Please enjoy the collection of recipes herein, presented without excessive fluff and with no advertising (for now).
