Obsessive Cooking Disorder (lovingly known as OCD) was originally a random collection of recipes for my record keeping. I started this food blog as a Stanford undergraduate who needed to cook, so I wouldn’t starve during my summer research months. I would constantly experiment with recipes, but kept forgetting which recipe I used or what changes I made, so I started OCD to record my culinary endeavors. 

My foodblog grew in medical school (since there was no more cafeteria / dorm food!). I’ve always loved baking, but couldn’t live on cookies and brownies, and thus expanded the range of recipes.

My work on OCD has grown to include inventing recipes, food photography, finding the history/science/random facts about food, and writing stories. I kept up foodblogging through in medical school, residency, fellowship, and onwards, so recipes are geared toward busy people.
