Mini Casa made this casa to celebrate Ethan Chlebowski. Ethan Chlebowski didn't make it and isn't affiliated with Mini Casa.
YouTube cooking channel by Ethan Chlebowski, who explains the reasoning behind techniques and tests recipes. Covers everyday meals and kitchen basics.
Explains why cooking methods work, which helps home cooks build skills they can apply to everyday meals.
Recipe and technique posts include a pancake piece arguing that butter belongs on top rather than in the batter, and a creamy mac and cheese template. The same list also includes a Double Decker Taco post about a discontinued Taco Bell item.
Visit linkExplainers include a corn tortilla cooking framework that runs from fresh to stale, a Steak Cooking 101 primer and a question on whether Parmesan is the same as Parmigiano Reggiano. Each entry is dated, so the list reads as a running archive.
Visit linkEach piece is built around the reason a method works, rather than a list of steps. The corn tortilla framework treats a tortilla as an ingredient that changes from fresh to stale, and the mac and cheese post is written as a template to adapt. The creator tests recipes and explains the reasoning behind them, and the kitchen reports apply the same approach to everyday ingredients. The site also has a newsletter and a community space for home cooks.
Read the noteStart with the steak cooking explainer and the corn tortilla framework in Kitchen Reports, which set out the method behind a dish. Then read the pancake piece in the recipes section, which argues that butter belongs on top rather than in the batter, to see how one change to a method alters the result. The mac and cheese template shows how the same thinking turns into a recipe a cook can adapt.
