Cook Like Your Ancestors

A fully illustrated guide to intuitive cooking! This art and comic-filled cookbook includes a primer on tools, ingredients, and using your own five senses to make delicious food, as well as twenty vegetarian recipes from worldwide cuisines. Inside this approachable, illustrated cookbook is an introduction to intuitive food preparation! Relying less on teaspoons, grams, degrees, and exact cook times, intuitive cooking reflects the way humans have cooked food for ages: by tasting, watching, smelling, listening, feeling, and remembering. Follow along with home cook Mariah-Rose Marie to learn how to measure with your hands, season with your senses, balance flavors on the fly, remember ratios, and more--all with minimal equipment. While exact recipes can seem less intimidating to a new cook, they can be regionally unreliable or overly rigid. With the foundational skills of intuitive cooking, you'll be better equipped to improvise, get inventive, and tailor recipes to your own personal taste, just like a grandma would! You can practice your new knowledge with the twenty delicious, vegetarian recipes found inside, including snacks, main dishes, drinks, and desserts! From Indonesian asinan bogor and Cambodian samla curry to the Mexican-Taiwanese fusion drink horchata con boba, author Mariah-Rose Marie collects recipes from family, friends, and contributors throughout the globe. The recipes range from traditional to transformed, reflecting the way foods--like people --migrate, mix, adapt, and are remembered. This book was created with international and financial accessibility in mind, and the hope that readers will find appreciation for the people and flavors of our shared world. So grab your trusty cast iron skillet, and get cooking!
