Recipes, cooked step by step
A small recipe blog by James and DJL. Nine recipes, nearly every step photographed.
The recipes
Made to cook from
Every recipe page keeps the photograph for the step you are reading beside you, and keeps the rest out of the way.
Servings. Change how many you are cooking for and every amount in the ingredients and the method follows.
Metric or US. Grams to ounces, millilitres to cups, Celsius to Fahrenheit. Your choice is remembered.
Cook mode. One step at a time in large type, with your phone kept awake and a timer on every step that needs one.
Why this exists
I find it easier to condense a recipe before cooking it so that I can remember it. That is how most of these started: a recipe read somewhere, cooked once, and written down with whatever went right and wrong.
So the posts keep the notes. The pecan pie that came out of the fridge solid as a brick, the marmalade that could have set a bit more, the chicken that was very slightly pink in places. Next time is always written into the recipe.
James and DJL cook, photograph and write it all up here.
