Pati Jinich really opened my eyes to guacamole's full potential. In the states, a lot of food people have an incredibly rigid idea of what is and is not guac. Pati revealed to me that in Mexico there are no rules with guac. Makes the purists here freaking out look super silly. Guacamole is a mole. And like all moles, there are infinite variations, the only necessary thread being the aguacate. So what about you? Any food/cooking lessons you'd like to share?

Following recipes are great at teaching you how other people make food. For an almost infinite amount of reasons, that isn't necessarily how you should make food.

The more I've learned and the more I've become comfortable, the more I think cooking is one of the few things that are actually just vibes based. Relax. Cook what makes you feel good. Mistakes are rarely fatal (to you or the meal). The stakes are low. Try new things.
