About Marlowe & Tate
Two cooks, one real project a week.
We're Marlowe and Tate, and we cook at home — not on a set, not for a camera. This site is the notebook for that work: one thing made all the way through, every week, with the whole method written down.
We started this in our own kitchen, with a simple habit. Each week we pick one real project — a meal that's in season, a recipe worth getting right — and we take it all the way through. We shop for it, we cook it, we sit down and eat it, and we write down everything that mattered: the method that worked, the one or two tools that earned their spot, and the honest catch when something didn't behave.
The rules we keep for ourselves are plain. We only write about food we actually made in our own kitchen, and we only link to things we actually reached for while making it. We don't invent prices or reviews, and we don't stretch the truth about how something performed. If we link it, we used it.
That's the whole idea: no noise, no rotating feed of content. One good project a week, done properly, with the recipe written down so you can do it too. The journal grows slowly on purpose — every story stays, and every story is complete.
The way we work
-
Pick the project
Something real, usually what's best at the market that week. The food comes first — it always decides the menu.
-
Show the whole method
The full recipe, the timing, and the small choices that made the difference. No steps skipped to keep it pretty.
-
Share what we used
Only the few things that mattered, with the honest catch about each one. If we link it, we used it.
Come along
New stories land every week in the journal, newest first. If you'd like to keep up, we're on Facebook — or just start with this week's project.
