Dinner is easier. But what about the kitchen?
You now know how I think about dinner.
Don't meal plan your life into submission.
Have food you actually like.
Keep the right ingredients around.
Cook once, eat twice.
Give yourself choices.
But there's another piece of the puzzle.
Your kitchen.
Because none of that helps much when you walk into the kitchen and think:
“For fuck's sake. I can't be assed with this.”
The sink is full.
The counters are covered.
You can't find anything.
The cupboards are packed with stuff you don't use.
And before you've even started cooking, you're already exhausted.
Maybe you don't hate cooking.
Maybe you hate what your kitchen makes you do before you can cook.
Meet The Kitchen Reset
A short, practical guide to turning your kitchen into a place that's ready to cook in.
Inside, I'll show you how I think about:
What deserves space
The things you actually use versus the kitchen nonsense you've somehow accumulated.
What needs to be accessible
So cooking starts with grabbing your pan — not excavating your cupboards.
What needs to go
Because more stuff doesn't make cooking easier.
What “ready to cook” actually means
A clean, usable kitchen that doesn't require a pre-dinner cleaning operation.
And how to make the space work for the way YOU cook.
I'm sharing my own setup too — including the fact that I've cooked in kitchens with no cupboards, tiny kitchens, temporary kitchens and a kitchen built inside a caravan awning.
I don't have room for bullshit.
And neither does your kitchen.
You don't need a Pinterest kitchen.
You need to be able to walk in, grab what you need and start cooking.
That's what this Reset is designed to help you do.
No giant renovation. No shopping list of 43 “must-have” gadgets. No matching storage containers.
Just a kitchen that works.
