About

My name is Adam Ragusea. I cook in my house, and I show you how you can too (in your house, not mine). I like to use my head when I cook, but I have no time for being fussy or fancy. I post a recipe video every Thursday, and some other kind of video about food every Monday (usually with science). I also... am married to Lauren Morrill: https://laurenmorrill.com/ write music: https://soundcloud.com/aragusea make silly podcasts about music with my friend Meg: https://megandadamlistento.wixsite.com/website am a dad: [They're not old enough to have links yet.]
