To break it down a bit, the former is all about a spontaneous idea, a last-minute spice that changes everything, or a twist that may or may not be due to circumstance. The latter is about being on a mission.
Let’s say I need to create a soup with meat in it for the Yom Tov supplement. So I practically empty my pantry and fridge and freezer, think on the fly, and try a bunch of different options (maybe an onion at this stage, and some thyme later), till I feel like I’m onto something. Hence the mess. I’ll tell you when it’s fun, though — when I revisit the recipe and follow it like it’s the first time, and I actually like the results.
When Brynie sends me recipes she’s developed, she updates me during every stage of the process, so I barely need to use my imagination to feel like I’m in her kitchen tasting her creation. Brynie is our OG Family Table contributor, and she’s the proof that you can twist recipes into endless permutations and there will still be more ways to change them up and make them fresh and exciting.
I’m very excited to share Brynie’s Shabbos with you all. It’s homey, it’s a huge hug, and it’s authentic Brynie.
