About

Better Than Takeout started as an Instagram page for the dishes we make at home in Austin, TX when ordering in sounds easier but never tastes as good. Vegetarian, a lot of Gujarati and South Indian, plenty of Thai, and bread when the weather turns.

Every recipe here is written the way the Instagram captions are: what you'll need, how to make it, and then the tweaks we actually make. The original stays intact so you can compare.

Tried one? Tag @betterthantakeout.food. Changed it and it got better? Tell us. That's the whole point.
