Shoutout to the plain cookbooks from years ago

They stuck to basics like flour and sugar you already had. Now a lot of recipes call for strange items I need to look up. Is this just a me thing, or is simple cooking gone for good?

My aunt's vintage pie crust recipe only needs lard and flour, no quinoa or kale nonsense.

Read that food blogs now compete by using weird ingredients for clicks.

Are you KIDDING me? I found a blog with a salad covered in edible flowers and gold leaf. It looked like a craft project! They add things like activated charcoal to pizza crust for no reason. Remember when food was about eating, not taking pictures? This trend is absolutely BONKERS.
