A cookbook that is based on principles and feelings, not measurements. I pretty much never follow recipes when I cook, but people still tend to think I cook decently well.

Curious about anyone's feedback or thoughts about how to improve this cookbook! Ideas for a custom domain name also welcome.

I love this, and I cook the same way, tasting and figuring things out as I go. For me, I just don't like following directions and templates—whether it's a recipe or a workout program, I value the "feeling" and intuition and will always lean in the direction that allows me to develop those sensibilities.

I think the site looks great and I'd just keep adding to it!

Some intuition at work!

This is the best way to cook, and also gives you more fun and less stress as a cook. However, the site could use some more recipes without animal products.
