I F ck up Recipes Every Single Week.

My husband calls it the 'Pastistio Meltdown'

Thanks so much for singing up to my SubStack! I’m so excited you’re here. Frankly, I’m excited to be writing newsletters instead of constantly hustling to create video content for a weirdo algorithm. I’m looking forward to connecting you guys in a more meaningful way. In my new newsletter series I want to take you guys behind the scenes. Share which recipes I’m testing. What I’ve learned, uploaded to the blog that week. I have loads of ideas for this newsletter, but of course I’d love to hear from you, so if you have ideas, let me know! I think it’ll hopefully morph and grow as time goes on!

I fuck up recipes every single week.

I love the title of this email because it’s so true! I screw up all the time. I wouild’t say I’m a professional cook or baker. I’m a home cook and baker. And frankly, I’m proud of that. I test recipes and tweak them to perfection before they go on the blog. Sometimes though, it takes several goes, and then some before I write and hit ‘publish’ on the blog. I once baked a pastistio recipe 6 times before i posted it. The house got super tense. Anthony stayed away from what he later called the ‘pastitsio meltdown’ zone. But that’s part of the process. I get a lot of learning done in those fuck ups. And that’s one of the things I want to share with you in my newsletters.
