Too Cool for Cooking

(Warning: There are several swear words in the following blog post).

Cooking should be for everyone. However the average cooking website has a very targeted audience and some audiences get targeted a lot more then other. Especially these days when healthy eating has become the major obsession of many foodies. The idea of healthy eating often times comes hand in hand with fancier tastes. The website called Thug Kitchen is trying to shake things up a bit by bringing healthy and easy recipes to a..edgier crowd.

So what is the point of Thug Kitchen? According to the websites FAQ it is here “… TO HELP YOUR NARROW DIETARY MINDED ASS EXPLORE SOME F**KING OPTIONS SO THAT YOU CAN LOOK AND FEEL LIKE A F**KING CHAMP…EVERYONE DESERVES TO FEEL A PART OF OUR COUNTRY’S PUSH TOWARD A HEALTHIER DIET, NOT JUST PEOPLE WITH DISPOSABLE INCOMES WHO SPEAK A CERTAIN WAY. WE AIM TO EDUCATE AS WELL AS ENTERTAIN,MOTHER F**KER.”

Yeah it’s cold as fuck outside but that’s no reason tofight over the thermostat. Instead, head to the kitchen andregulate your body temperature with this toasty toddy. GRAB A BIG ASS BLANKET AND POUR YOURSELF A GODDAMN HUG IN A MUG.GRAPEFRUIT HOT TODDY2 cups of water 2 bags of black tea½ cup fresh grapefruit juice (about 1 grapefruit)2 shots of bourbon1 tablespoon maple syrup (whatever liquid sweetener you gotwill do)2 cinnamon sticks (totally fucking optional)Bring the water to a boil on the stove with a kettle orwhateverthefuck else you use. In a large measuring glass orheat-safe pitcher add the grapefruit juice, bourbon, maplesyrup, and cinnamon sticks. When the water is boiling, pourit into the pitcher, add the tea bags, and cover thatmotherfucker to keep it warm while the flavors mix. Let thetea steep for 3 minutes. Take out the tea bags and cinnamonsticks and serve that shit immediately.Makes 2 drinks or one big ass cup of comfort

There is not a single image on this website that does not have swear words on it.

The website posts a variety of recipes -main dishes, drinks, snakes, desserts, etc – all of which go about teaching the person how to cook using straight forward and very color language. The style of the recipes seems to be popular: their Facebook page has over 400k likes and they are apparently publishing a cookbook in 2014.

While this website may not be for everyone it does follow an original path on recipes that most cookbooks wouldn’t dream of walking down.
