Recipes for Everyone
Everyone has the right to know how to cook and feed themselves. Of all the factors affecting our health, food has the biggest impact. So, it’s messed up that people have no control over it.
pingcooks’ highly cookable recipes are approachable and written for real humans from all backgrounds.
honesty
Unedited, Real Food
No photoshop. No artfully arranged food settings with matching plates and napkins. Just real photos of food.
Food media has one goal:
Attract more viewers to make more money. That “food” in magazines and Instagram is uncookable. It’s manipulated into a contrived perfection that alters our perception of what real food can and should be.
pingcooks will not set you up for failure by setting unrealistic expectations.
