Hope you’re not reading this week’s list hungry!
- I’ve wanted this for so many years: How to scale cake recipes for any size pan from the redoubtable Stella Parks.
- Also, the Serious Eats guide that taught me at least a few of my Unauthorized Uses for the microwave.
- This is a priceless project: an online archive of Indian community cookbooks.
- Take your Superbowl party *super* old-school with this fascinating archaeological reconstruction from Atlas Obscura of the menu at an ancient pub in Pompeii, including recipes and instructions!
- Also on Atlas Obscura: visit a 400-year-old teahouse in Kyoto.
- While we’re in Japan, check out this supercut of all the food scenes from Miyazaki films. The man loves to eat.
- A fun deep-dive into what you’d experience at a Frisian tea ceremony in Germany. (Apparently, “Not too much talking…” XP)
- This is an incredible directory of American Indian food producers to support. I learned about a purveyor near me I didn’t know about!
- Handy and hefty list of 3-ingredient cocktails that don’t require bizarre and expensive liqueurs.
- If you’re feeling a little down this weekend, try Hildegard of Bingen’s recipe for “cookies of joy“!
