The Library

Books, printables, and a Sunday letter.

The decorative, exploratory companion to the kitchen. Three books in progress, five printable PDFs designed to live on a cupboard door, three calendar formats that turn the rhythm of the cooking week into ritual. And, behind all of it, the bi-weekly Letter — a piece of sustained writing delivered on Sunday morning, designed to be anticipated, not skimmed.

The Books.

Three books, each one factually researched and footnoted to academic sources. None are for sale yet — they are the long-game work. The covers below are working mockups.

From Ten Kitchens

A French-trained chef's notes from ten countries, with the recipes and the people who taught me them.

Ten chapters, ten countries. Lyon, Naples, Athens, Valencia, Buenos Aires, Sapporo, Languedoc, London, Tunis, Mexico City. Each chapter follows the same arc: the arrival, the kitchen, the dish, the verified history, the technique, the plate today. Every factual claim footnoted with sources.

The Letter.

Twice a month, on Sunday morning. One sustained piece of writing — an ingredient, a technique, a place, a controversy, a single dish all the way down. No upsells. No "check out our latest." No "newsletter." A Letter.
