Description
Last week, I found a recipe card from 1955 — handwriting in the margins, a grease stain in the corner — and something about it stopped me. No food processor. No microwave to fall back on. Just a woman, a stove, and whatever was already in the drawer.
So I decided to find out what that actually feels like. For one full month, I put away almost everything electric in my kitchen and cooked using only tools that would have genuinely been sitting on a counter in 1955.
It was harder than I expected, in a very different way than testing old habits was. And there's a moment in week two that nearly made me quit the whole thing.
👉 These are things that work for me — always use your own good judgement.
