Christina Tosi, CEO of MilkBar, shares valuable insights on discovering recipes from vintage cookbooks. She suggests looking for dirty, frequently used pages, which indicate popular recipes. Tosi's inspiration comes from personal cravings and the desire to create joy through her food. She frequents yard sales and thrift stores for hidden gems among classic cookbooks. Ultimately, her approach emphasizes the importance of community and personal taste in cooking, regardless of skill level, by encouraging the exploration of beloved, well-loved recipes.
"I often use my belly as my guide, so just like what am I hungry for... I like to make people happy with food, usually dessert."
"Pick up the cookbook and find the page that has been dog-eared, turned to, has crumbs laying in the center... You want the recipe that someone has made on repeat."
