Kickstarter

So, today I decided to do something out of the blue: I decided to back a project on Kickstarter.

Sitting at the kitchen bar tonight, I thought I would go see what Kickstarter had to offer. I was browsing around, until I came upon a project titled: Eat Offbeat: The Cookbook. I was intrigued, so naturally I watched the video. It turns out that a few refugees, from all over the world, decided to make a cookbook of their families’ greatest recipes. These chefs, who were only home cooks back in their home country, came to New York and were professionally trained to work as real, restaurant chefs. Then they decided to make a cookbook with a lot of their recipes—recipes that have been handed down in their families for generations and that haven’t been written down. I honestly cannot tell you how excited I am to get this cookbook. I have been wanting to have my own, real cookbook for forever (since the only cookbook that I had ever purchased before was when I was eight and it was a Disney child’s cookbook––naturally it didn’t offer that much). The only downside is that I will receive the recipe book next year. But I guess that is the norm with all of the Kickstarter projects: to take a while to fulfill the promises made to the backers. Nonetheless, I can’t wait until March 2018.
