ABOUT

EatIngredients.com [listen], a podcast and website, is the result of over five years of documenting (through my poetry and foodstuff lisintings) anecdotal cooking.

The inspiration for this project came from the attempt to decompress from a nebulous schedule as paced by maintaining a new media lifestyle within the Information Society (see 21st Century poems).

Taking the time to actually prepare a meal, list the ingredients, and write poetry has been a good experiential and conceptual counterbalance between 20th Century utility and 21st Century gadgetry.

Several of the recipes have been prepared once, but have been labeled as repeaters, meaning "make that again."

In most cases the ingredients in the recipe were the result of what was available and on sale at the supermarket, open produce markets, specialty shoppes, and whatever was lingering in the refrigerator and/or cupboard at home.

Ideas for combinations came from reading food magazines, cookbooks, websites, and watching cooking shows on television--as well as whatever craving I had at the time.

Be sure to experiment with flavor--and remember, eat your mistakes, uh, ingredients.
