About

I’m a mildly capable home cook with an affinity for the work of Chef Meera Sodha. The ongoing global pandemic has put a halt to most of my usual hobbies, and so my partner has put me up to a cooking project: cook my way through Chef Sodha’s most recent publication, East, in its entirety.

This idea is not original. I shamelessly stole it from Julie Powell, who famously cooked her way through Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 365 days. She turned her popular blog into a book and a movie both titled Julie & Julia. I’ve gone for the same first name-based aliteration here and called this little project Mitch & Meera.

This is a small personal project meant for the fun and the food. Part of the fun is to write a little bit about it online, so feel free to follow along here if you like.
