Come for the food history... stay for the gifs.
Ever wondered why #tradwives are so white, why they’re always in the kitchen, or what the deal is with raw milk? I’ve just written a piece for @auswhn.bsky.social’s Vida blog. You should read it!

Wrote a little piece on the legacy of Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential 25 years on: theconversation.com/kitchen-conf...
Kitchen Confidential at 25: Anthony Bourdain revealed high-end chefs as rock-star pirates with a passion for food
Anthony Bourdain’s tell-all classic is ‘Elizabeth David written by Quentin Tarantino’. 25 years on, it’s still influential, from The Bear to kitchens everywhere.

Stuck on a recipe for your next Christmas do?

Try this Jellied Veal Loaf from 1939. Apparently, it’s ’a delicious luncheon dish and ideal for occasions over the holiday season when you want to serve something a little different’ (AWW, 23 December 1939)

Go on…try it. I dare you.
