Taking the Recipe Development process from behind the scenes directly to you. Part toolkit, part love letter to food, this is a deep dive into dessert and pastries.

My name is Dennis Lee, aka Dannis Ree, and I'm a Chicago-based food writer whose main goal is to ruin food for everyone. Especially you.

A recipe developer's deep dive into a different ingredient each month, with recipes.

Recipes, fun flavours, and a general love for all things pastry.
