Billy Green - Whip It Up!: Over 75 Fast, Fun and Easy Recipes

For my mom, whos always encouraged me to be me. CONTENTS Oh, hello there. Thank you for picking up this book and flipping to this page to decide whether or not you want to buy it. Your hair looks great today, by the way. You wanna talk about food? Ever since I can remember, Ive seriously been into food. Ive been really into cooking it, reading about it, and now photographing and writing about it. I love how it can trigger memories and take me back to some random time, or help make new traditions/friends/feels.

Its kind of this universal bridge that everyone can get into. After all, everyone needs to eat. When I started my blog back in 2010 it was a way for me to pass the time that wasnt my planned daily schedule between classes with no job. Without fail, every day at 2 pm, it was Sabrina, the Teenage Witch for an hour then an episode of Barefoot Contessa, then like 30 minutes of me crying inside because I didnt know what to make for dinner. After a full semester of that I took a graphics class and combined that with my photo skills to mock up a newsletter thing that would eventually turn into my blog, Wit & Vinegar: a safe place to talk about food and dogs and not wearing pants (trousers, for you British people!) when Im home. My hope is that all the crazy and weird that happens over there is translated into this book.

Maybe youre new to the whole process of creating food? Great! Welcome, hi lets cook. All the recipes in this book are fairly simple and can be made by almost anyone. Thats half the reason behind the title; the other is that any sort of audio promo can have a whip-crack sound-effect. The whole goal for this book is to get you into the kitchen, playing with your food, and having some fun. Maybe youre not new to the whole food thing, and thats cool too! Like I said, everything in here is simple but that doesnt mean its boring. And it also doesnt cost a whole lot to throw one of the recipes together and produce something amazing, and we all love that.

Bottom line is, get in your kitchen right now and cook something. Whip something (it) up! Look for a dish you might have had as a kid and make it into something youd eat nowadays, or try and make someones favourite dish and surprise them with it. Dont be afraid! Its a proven fact that when food can smell fear, it just throws up failure in your face. BUT, if that does happen which, hello, were all beautiful humans, so its bound to happen now and again clean up the failure and try again. Itll make you that much happier with the end result. So lets turn on some music, get in the kitchen, twerk a little, and make some magic happen
