Farewell, 2024 (or as I like to call it, 2020 version 4.0). Hard to believe another year has come and gone, and yet here we are again looking at the yearly roundup of the best recipes published this year!
TLDR: this year was the year of kittens and pistachios.
We published only 28 recipes this year, even less than last year. Why so few? Well, as in previous years I’ve been focusing more on quality over quantity, testing recipes more times and spending more time writing in-depth, helpful posts with detailed process images (and also a few videos!)
But let’s be honest… the real reason(s) there hasn’t been nearly as many new recipes this year? Kittens. Blame the kittens.
It’s true, we started fostering kittens through our local animal shelter this summer and have since had 9 kittens (and 1 cat) come through on their way to their forever homes, including a litter of three 10-day old bottle babies (whew boy that’s a lot of work!) and a mama cat and her 5 adorably stripey babies who we named after mushrooms (ahem—Meowshrooms). Be sure to check out my dedicated kitten instagram account @loveandlittlecats for more cuteness, and while we don’t have any kittens at the moment there will definitely be more come spring.
(Psst! That adorable little grumpy santa up there is Enoki, and if you want to get a head start on next year’s Christmas cards you can purchase them—plus one of the whole gang—in the L&OO shop!)
Anyway. I’ve done a best of post every year for the past 15 years, and want to continue that tradition, if only just because it’s fun to look back and reminisce.
These year-end posts are always interesting, seeing which recipes you all loved the most and how they differed from the ones I was most excited about (although to be honest, I don’t usually post about recipes I’m not excited about.)
