In March 2020, much of the U.S started to be put on hold when COVID-19 became a serious threat to the public eye. I was lucky enough to take the opportunity during this time to practice skills and hobbies I had previously convinced myself I never had time for.

In May 2020, a friend asked about recipes I experimented with in isolation. As a complete amateur and as a college student living alone, I usually turned to cooking meals that were easy, cheap, and didn't cause too much of a mess, as long as they kept me alive. Occasionally, however, I enjoyed cooking and baking recipes without concern for these things. This has led to a developing cookbook or compilation of recipes that I or my friend have tried and enjoyed, with a focus on the design and formatting of the pages.
