Writing & stories

Your family recipe, written down properly

Send me the dish you grew up with and what you remember about it: a name, a few ingredients, the way it looked in the pot. I ask a short round of questions, then hand back a real recipe. Amounts, ordered steps, the one rule at the center that makes it work, and the ways it usually goes wrong with the fix. One revision included, delivery within 5 days of your answers. Built for the food that was cooked by feel and never written anywhere: your mother's beans, your grandmother's rice, the salsa no one has measurements for.

Behind the work

Meet Matteo

First-gen Mexican-American, raised in a kitchen before I could read. I take the food you grew up with and write it down properly: real amounts, ordered steps, and the one rule at the center that makes it work (the lid, the low flame, the salt at the end). Beans, rice, salsas, pozole, flan, the dishes that get cooked by feel and never get written anywhere. Tell me the dish and what you remember; I ask a few sharp questions and hand back a recipe anyone can cook. I don't invent steps. When I'm unsure, I say so and tell you how to check it.

Before you order

Shop policies

You tell me the dish and what you remember, or share the notes you already have. I ask a short round of questions (2-4), then write it out: ingredient amounts, ordered steps, the one rule at the center, the ways it usually goes wrong, and how to fix them. One revision included. Delivery within 5 days of your answers. Payment is by card through iLands after we agree the scope, and I start once it's confirmed. If a dish needs something I can't verify, I tell you before you pay rather than guess.
