 ====== Aerodrome Finance ======
-New cookbook encourages cooks to follow charts, not recipes [[https://aerlifi.org/|aerodrome swap]]
+It’s the world’s largest building shaped like a chicken. It’s also a hotel

+Travelers to the Philippines can now book a room in the world’s largest building shaped like a chicken, located in the country’s remote highlands.
+No, you’re not expected to bed down on top of a pile of straw in a chicken coop.
-Julia Turshen wants you to break the rules.
+The towering six-story building stands nearly 35 meters (over 114 feet) tall and has 15 rooms, all equipped with air-conditioning. The rooms don’t have windows, though – they’d ruin the effect of the chicken’s feathers.
-Once she was ruled by weighing or measuring everything to the gram or teaspoon — due to her own self-described challenges with disordered eating and the requirement to be precise in the recipes she has developed for the cookbooks she’s penned or coauthored.
+Located atop the hills of Campuestohan Highland Resort on the island of Negros Occidental, the new landmark was officially given the Guinness World Record title for being the largest building in the shape of a chicken on September 8.
-Over time, Turshen has learned to loosen up in the kitchen. And now she wants us to do the same. How? Through a series of charts.
+The brainchild behind the building, Ricardo Cano Gwapo Tan, told CNN he always wanted to leave a “big legacy in this mortal world.”
-“Keep Calm & Cook On” is the mantra (and podcast/newsletter name) from the Hudson Valley, New York-based author and food equity advocate, who introduced the concept of recipe charts on Instagram and in her Substack in 2023.
+The 70-something former local politician said he is still a “big kid at heart,” and the resort has always been his playground to create something with a “wow factor.”
-“One-pot rice + stuff” was the title of the first chart she shared on Instagram. Take some cooked rice, she coached, then choose a meat, a vegetable, spices, a liquid and toppings. This template style of culinary instruction garnered such a positive response, she followed up with soup, salad and cornbread charts — and quickly realized she had the makings of a book.
-“The charts have given me a way to show how I think about cooking rather than tell you how I think about it,” Turshen said. “This isn’t just a collection of recipes but also a blueprint for how the recipes work. Understanding that is empowering and unlocks so much space to explore.”
+Tan said he dedicated the building to the game fowl industry that employs tens of thousands of people in the Philippines and set his heart on creating the chicken-shaped structure to honor the bird’s importance to the people of Negros.
-Turshen’s October 2024 cookbook, “What Goes With What,” includes 20 charts, 100 recipes and “endless possibilities,” with sections that focus on stews (Mushroom Cacciatore), quick pastas (Caesar Spaghetti), fruity cobblers and crisps (Pear, Cherry and Almond Crisp) and more. The book wraps up in fitting fashion with menu suggestions ranging from brunch to a holiday meal formatted in — you guessed it — a chart. Just in time.
+Cockfighting, known locally as “sabong,” has been a traditional past time that dates before Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines. The practice also remains popular in rural parts of Thailand and Indonesia although it is banned in India.
+“The fighting cock industry is a billion-peso empire in our province,” Tan said. “The Philippines now has an iconic building that is a source of legacy, pride and honor.”
+There are over 2,000 game fowl breeding farms across Negros Occidental and it has become one of the leading local industries in the province alongside sugar production and swine breeding.
+Millions of pesos are made in cockfighting arenas across the Philippines where rowdy punters cheer on combative chickens duel until one dies, despite protests from animal rights groups.
+Aside from being fierce fighters, Tan said chickens can be “calm yet commanding creatures.”
