Cooking with Justin!
Ok, so I guess it’s more like cooking with Justin and also some friends along the way.
Cooking for me has always been as natural of a language as speaking English. I remember the pride I had taking in my mom’s tater tot casserole recipe for our elementary school cookbook, or the excitement of delivering the chess bars my dad would make my and my brother’s teachers at Christmas. I know it sounds silly, but they exist in those recipes. When I became an adult with my own kitchen, I wanted to find the recipes where I existed, which is why I started my cooking Instagram, @cookinwithjustin. And then, as I started my career as a journalist, I realized—what if I could spend my time hearing about everyone’s best recipes?
So this is my attempt at that. Some weeks, you might get a recipe of mine, with a little story at the bottom (never at the top! why do people do this!). Some weeks, it might be a conversation with a chef or an influencer or someone who has just really loved food for a long time. But I hope you’ll come along and join the journey because the best way to learn about someone? I think it’s by what they put on their plate.
