Thanks to Spoon University, You’ll Never Need a Cookbook Again

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UVA chapter.

I don’t know about you, but I get super lazy when it comes to buying and reading cookbooks. Spoon’s series of video recipes are not only addicting to watch, but they speed up the process by allowing you to see the entire cooking process in under 2 minutes.

In our technology-driven society, it’s no wonder that traditional cookbooks and paper recipes will be retired and replaced with digital recipes. In addition to their visual appeal, these video recipes are so helpful because they can help you gauge what a recipe should look like at each step.

I’ve gathered what I think are the best of the Spoon recipe videos. Put down your cookbook, whip out your computer and start cooking.

This recipe is something that I never knew I needed.

Tater Tot Breakfast Bake

These tots are always a good idea at any time of the day.

Because avocado makes everything better, am I right?

Creamy and refreshing.

Cotton Candy Frappuccino

When you want to treat yo’self but don’t have the courage to order this in public.

Despite the new opportunities and innovation that these video recipes provide, I still suggest keeping Grandma’s 50-year-old chicken pot pie recipe too.

Cailin is a fourth year at the University of Virginia with a love for both veggies and dessert. Everything in moderation, folks.
