About this site
Hey there! Welcome to The Big Mish-Mash, a playground for inquisitive minds! I’ve always been obsessed with the Renaissance, that dazzling era when culture exploded with all-rounders like Michelangelo —sculptor, painter, architect, and poet— and Leonardo, who was captivated by human anatomy, nature, mechanics, math, and even whipped up a few recipes and invented kitchen gadgets like an egg slicer and a garlic press. I'm just an apprentice compared to them, but I do feel like a soul of the Renaissance living in the 21st century. I have an insatiable curiosity, a passion for learning, and a knack for juggling way too many interests. I’ve created this site to share an eclectic mix of awesome books, films, music, talented illustrators of children’s and young adult literature, tasty recipes, reflections on the most far-flung topics, and all sorts of quirky curiosities to keep you entertained. Got thoughts or ideas to share? Drop a comment on any post — I’d love to hear from other fellow curious souls!
