I started writing this blog, hopelessly, almost four years ago. It has gone through many quiet periods, and for the most part, it remains a somewhat hopeless venture that I do in my freetime to fill the creative void. I often feel like the only people reading this are my parents and my in-laws, and that nothing I do that involves my passions really matters to anyone else but me and the man who gets to eat the fruits of these passions, my husband. I’ve never once received a Google Ads check. I have no patrons on patreon. The only person to ever send me a coffee on Kofi was my mother-in-law. But this is not a blog post for me to bemoan the state of my hobby. I mention these things because there are people like me out in the world who DID make it work, and this cookbook is from one of those people: Andrew Rea. January 2020 opens with the cookbook of the month, Binging with Babish. You may recall that I mentioned this youtube channel during my food media series a few years ago, and while his success was already cemented then, he’s got a new book out. I’ve admired Andrew Rea for a long time. He shows up every week with two videos about things that he loves, and the people have responded to it. He goes out of his way to improve the lives of his friends and family in his somewhat newer series ‘Being with Babish’. He uses every ounce of his good fortunes and hard work to the benefit of others, admirable in every way. I was leaving the Delmarva area when he went through Philly for his book tour, and I wish I had been able to meet him.
