Pocket Pause is a blog focused on all the elements of living sustainably, featuring tips and stories to help us human-animals to be good stewards of the soil and fellow Earth inhabitants. It is also a place for me to publish the recipes and cooking techniques that i have written or adapted. I’ve compiled this page of links for greater convenience when browsing my recipes. Keep in mind my recipes don’t always include specific amounts or strict cooking times. Consider all my recipes as guides to work from and experiment to suit your own tastes. You can also search recipes by category in the archives page. Enjoy, and as always i’d love to hear your comments/results!
Grow your own, shop locally, cook seasonally. Eat joyfully!
