Serious Eats - seriouseats.com

Hello! I write @cookbook on twitter; thought I'd pipe in. It should go without saying that 'twecipes' aren't meant to replace recipes. As others say, they're meant to be a challenge. Grandmas are frequent fans of the genre, which cuts to the chase of cooking, and leaves room for creative interpretation -- dice or slice the carrot? How finely to puree the soup? They're definitely most useful for those who already know their way around an onion. The idea that I'm in search of fame is quite funny. I've been doing this since twitter's obscurity (my partner built the site) sending recipes to my nerdy friends. I'm also a poet by career, so -- no horn required -- the shoe fit and I wore it. There is no scheme behind me. In general, twitter's food community seems quite genuine, and there is little reason to be cynical about it. Like this site, it's overall about new forms of culinary inspiration!
