Where do you get your ideas?

• I read through the parsha, trying to visualize as I go. I then try to imagine shapes and textures, big pictures or details, and try to match the picture to ingredients. Some weeks give me lots of options, sometimes I have to really reach.

How to do you choose translations?

• Unless specifically noted, I translate the Hebrew myself. However, I generally include links to Sefaria.com so that you can look at the entire text or read other translations.
