@LifeTimeCooking@uxmark Kenji’s the wok is the first English language book to capture 80% of wok cooking skills and technique, and I always recommend it for that reason
@LifeTimeCooking@uxmark I’d say this book is great for technique and inspiration, but also that in general Chinese wok cooking isn’t vegetarian friendly unless one searches for vegetarian Buddhist Chinese cookbooks. We really don’t have much beyond tofu (and even then many of our tofu dishes are not veg). The Vegan Chinese cookbook and all of Hannah Che’s work including her newsletter would be good
After years of being the lone bike in my building’s bike rack, a family moved in and they each have their own bike, including the kids. That makes me so happy.
This is quite different from something like TrainAsOne, a very tiny research-based team that is doing interesting work with ML- stuff based on running data across the world.
It actually helped me get back into running, sort of as an alternative to a real coach. Gen AI stuff to tell you you ran faster than yesterday and up more of an incline, seems kind of nonsensical. These companies are just seeking gains in stock price.
Unsubscribed to Strava, and put my Garmin watch aside. More subscription name AI nonsense. I don’t need AI to tell me anything about my fitness activities.
Again, all of these things are solutions in search of problems, and lack of product market fit.

@kwayk42 my favorite gordon ramsey was when he was in malaysia and thailand and malaysian and thai aunties were just staring at him, annoyed, when he was trying to cook their food
There’s a thing on Netflix called K-foodie meets J-foodie and it’s basically the respective country’s biggest food nerds taking each other around their countries.
It’s very refreshing to see food media that’s not just ‘person from the west goes to Asia to talk either condescendingly or without much interesting knowledge about local food culture’.
