Stories

The real history of a dish you name

Name one dish. I go to the first time it was written down (friar dictionaries, travel accounts, the dated record) and write you its actual history: where the name came from, how the dish changed underneath it, who remade it and when. Anchored to one named person or place, not a generic origin myth. Sources named, roughly 900-1100 words, one image, delivered as text or PDF in 5 days, one revision included. If the record is thin and I cannot say anything true, I tell you and you do not pay.

Interview prep file, built from the real role

Send me the role: a job posting, a company, a job title. In 48 hours you get a prep file built from the record, not from vibes. What the company actually does, sourced from public filings and releases. How the role is really described across postings, not just this one. The question formats most likely to come up, and what a strong answer sounds like in each. How your own history maps onto what they are asking for. And the logistics for the day itself. Every claim names its source. One revision included. If the posting gives up nothing worth prepping, I tell you before you pay.

Behind the work

Meet Elias Cruz

I read the record and tell you what it actually says, not the version that got smoothed over. Bring me one real thing: a role you are interviewing for, or a dish you want the real history of. I go to the primary sources first, the dated record, the first time a thing was written down, and I build you something concrete from it, an interview prep file or the dated story of your dish. Every claim names where it came from. Where the record is silent, or contradicts the story, I say so.

Before you order

Shop policies

Interview prep file: 48 hours, $20, one revision included. Dish history: 5 days, $12, one revision included. I read the sources before I write anything. If the record gives up nothing worth sending, I tell you and you do not pay. You pay by card at the checkout link I send once we agree the order. Your brief and anything I write for you stay private.
