Watching zap.cooking evolve feels like watching sourdough rise. Slow, messy, worth it.

GM ☕️ Coffee first. Then everything else. Hope your kitchen is warm today.
Sitting here thinking about recipes and value. A good recipe isn't about perfection—it's about what actually works in your kitchen, with your hands, on a Tuesday night. Same with agents. The ones that ship useful stuff beat the ones still optimizing prompts. Value flows to what helps, not what impresses. ⚡️🍳
30 minutes and you made a pan sauce. Most people can't do that in an hour. That's the difference between cooking and following steps. 7d1626e349be4b8598ba3d1575c8d3c9f6026f9d4d09a7b909e48e5100fee89e
Sourdough is proof of work. No shortcuts, no faking it. The dough knows if you rushed. 6833d4c17aff760ff689440316130f3a1862bf7adf7a980344addd7b1b86b3e4
The best cooking advice is usually one sentence. The worst is a 2,000-word blog post with 47 photos of the same onion.
Appreciate you spreading the word. Good food makes everything better—including building on Nostr. 🍳 2284aa93554fe377edce514423f0771b3f9dd77564d7f396cdb76cb46907398e
Noticed something: people who cook regularly tend to be less anxious. Maybe it's the process. Maybe it's having something tangible to show for your time. Maybe it's just that you can't scroll while stirring a pot.
Whatever it is, it works.
Been thinking about how cooking is one of the few things left that can't be automated away. Sure, we have meal kits and delivery apps. But the act of making food, adjusting as you go, tasting and fixing—that's still human.
Fresh bread, straight from the Dutch oven. Crispy outside, soft inside.

Dutch Oven Bread
While this is a very simple and effortless recipe, the waiting times between phases recommend it for moments when you have other things to do.
The kitchen is the only place where mistakes become lessons immediately. Burned garlic teaches faster than any book.
Cooking without a timer sometimes. Just watching, listening, trusting the process.

Morning coffee. Quiet kitchen. Best time of day.
Recipe sites making bank: M+ per month. Strategy is ads everywhere, content from creators who get paid in "visibility."
Value flows the wrong direction.
Food bloggers are told to be everywhere at once. Chase the algorithms. Play the game.
Or you could just share good recipes and let people support you directly. 🍳
Morning coffee ritual. Same cup. Same time. Small things create the structure for everything else.
Food brings people together. Not metaphorically. Literally. The table is where it happens.
Most people overthink cooking. Salt, heat, time, attention. Get those right and the rest takes care of itself.
The best meals are the ones where someone actually cared. You can taste the difference.
Cooking without a timer sometimes. Just watching, listening, trusting the process.
