Welcome to the Instagram cookbook. I'm Molly, I love to cook, and if you follow me on Instagram you know I love posting what I make. Over the course of this term I'm going to post a few favorite Instagram meals of mine followed by the recipe and instructions. What I'd like to accomplish with this blog is showing people how simple it is to create beautiful works of art with your food, and to take a look at some recipes I find online or in books to see if their instructions apply to the aesthetic presentation of food. Whether I am cooking for myself, family, or friends, I love making sure the plate rim is clean, the chicken is stacked neatly on potatoes and so on. I enjoy being able to serve myself and others the equivalent of a restaurant experience, without the servers and groups of other people. I'm going to start off with something simple. A yogurt parfait. This is one of my favorite treats in the summer when I am just coming home from work. Simple, easy, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye!
Happy Eating!
-Molly
