— Krishna Khatri

Answer:

You know, I do a little bit of both when I come across websites or blogs or other information online. I'll bookmark it and so I've got a list, you know of some sites that might reference once in a while and then I've also It kind of fall back on pen and paper that that old school method. I just I like to handle that sort of material as part of the aesthetic that I like. And so, you know, I do have recipes and you know, usually with notes in the margins that I've made modifications to the recipe that I've made that or in a folder that's accessible in the kitchen. And so those that will come out once in a while, you know, when I want to sort of when I want some help remembering some things that I've done in the past and then also I've got a bunch of books. In fact, I think every room in the house has Food books most of them probably have some recipes in them, but others are food history and food culture and food economy. And in other books on food, but you know, I've got a lot of little sticky notes that I have used to earmark recipes or photographs or or other ideas that I might go to every once in a while to again refresh my memory and stir up some inspiration.
