Who are you?

My name is Nick and I’m just some dude.

do you cook for a living?

Nope. I’m actually a software engineer.

Why did you make this website?

A lot of people I know don’t seem comfortable in their kitchen. I know someone who refuses to cook chicken because they’re afraid they’ll get sick. I wanted to show people that, in the words of the famous Auguste Gusteau, “Anyone can cook!”. It’s just that sometimes it will take a bit longer than you’d expect.

Why do you link to amazon?

For recipes that come from cookbooks, I try to provide a link to Amazon for people interested in buying the book. I provide Amazon links because it is convenient for a large number of people. However, I understand that there are some ethical concerns with Amazon, so I encourage you to purchase books from local booksellers whenever possible.

Why do you use affiliate links?

Keeping this website running costs money. There are a few options to fund this project, but the simplest choices are advertising and affiliate links. I would prefer not to have ads on the site since I think that most of the time they make everyone’s experience worse. So, affiliate links seemed like the easiest, least intrusive option.
