Field notes
The homepage is structured as a small editorial guide, with linked topic sections and individual recipe or video entries rather than a single undifferentiated recipe list. Its examples connect practical instruction to specific details: the role of food-grade lime in nixtamalization, why a new clay comal needs curing, and how molcajete salsa differs in texture from a blender version. The creator also explicitly locates the work in Spain and describes how the site handles that distance.
