Comforting. Photo: Instagram On Instagram, everyone is cooking. For the first few days of being indefinitely housebound, I was cooking, too. I will do so much cooking! I thought. I will make sourdough from the wild yeast in the air of my apartment! But then time kept passing, and I got sadder, and my kitchen started to feel very small. So far, I have harvested no yeast.
I did not make the biscuits, obviously, but I found it soothing to watch someone deeply competent take small steps toward a concrete goal. If you want pretend social contact For the true “reality cooking show” experience, multi-Michelin-starred Italian Massimo Bottura, of Osteria Francescana, streams a new live episode “Kitchen Quarantine” on IGTV every day at 3 p.m. ET. “Wash! Your! Hands! Stay safe! Drink a lot of orange juice!” he will say, Italianly, and then he’ll walk you through tortellini alla panna, or Thai curry, or pasta fagioli.
If you think talking is too much One problem with Instagram cooking shows is that you kinda have to listen to them. That is fine, though, because some of the most soothing and most useful follows just post pictures with instructive captions, like in the olden days. Eric Ripert, for example, posts a lot of very simple recipes that you would most definitely not find at his restaurant, Le Bernardin, such as these methodical instructions for grilled cheese.
Meanwhile in Chicago, David Posey, from Elske, has been on a tear of DIY high-end garbage food, like homemade White Castle sliders. And if you, like everyone else on the internet, is suddenly obsessed with sourdough, Josh Axler, the baker at Hewn Bread in Evanston, Illinois, posts a lot of helpful bread instructions, which I keep looking at, imagining what it would be like if I also baked some bread, perhaps leavened with the wild yeasts of Park Slope.
She may not be on Instagram, but don't forget the inimitable Simply Sara Kitchen. She's the real deal, not a photo op with a recipe. Comfort food for times of crisis.
