Coming soonThis one isn't written up yet — it's on the way
The recipes assume you know roughly what you're doing. This is the part that comes before: setting up a space you can work safely in, what every ingredient is actually for, and what each stage should look, sound and smell like.
It's the guide I wanted when I started, written so you can read it once at the kitchen table and once more with your gloves on.
