The videos are the answer.
This is the working.
This is for cooking from. Everything the edit left out, in a form you can work from at the bench.
- The written version of every episode: weights, timings and method you can work from at the bench
- The failures. Every attempt that didn’t make the edit, and what went wrong
- The numbers behind every project. Every version made, the conditions held, and how each one tasted
- Our margin notes on every book we cook from, and whether it earns its shelf space
