Cook By Feeling

Hi, I’m Katharina, and I created Cook By Feeling because I wanted cooking to feel easier, more flexible, and a lot less stressful. I have always liked the idea of recipes as a starting point rather than a strict set of rules. Sometimes you have the exact ingredients, sometimes you do not. Sometimes you want to follow a recipe properly, and sometimes you just want to open the fridge, see what is there, and make something that works. That is what this book is built around. I researched and selected familiar, well-known recipes that are practical for everyday cooking, then organised them in a way that makes it easy to mix and match. Choose a protein, add a carb, pick a vegetable side, change the seasoning, swap an ingredient, and make the meal fit you. There are spaces throughout the book for your own notes too, because the best version of a recipe is often the one you have adjusted over time. Cook By Feeling is not about cooking perfectly. It is about becoming more confident in the kitchen, trusting your taste, and making everyday food your own. A little bit of this, a little bit of that...
