Candid reflections on life, kids, childhood, religion, art, shoes--whatever crosses Satz's agile mind, plus witty, well executed cartoons to match. Definitely works for me! Do check it out.
Kitty Morse's recent cookbook/Holocaust memoir Bitter Sweet is front and center to her Kasbah Chronicles Newsletter, but there are also many recipes from Morocco, France and elsewhere, as well as her recent travels to visit her ancestors' home in Alsace Lorraine and to her native Morocco. Food, memory and family history--right up my alley!
If you're a person who wants to know the why's and wherefore's of French butter, perfect pie dough, avoiding freezer burn, outdoor grilling and much more, this newsletter by Elizabeth Karmel and Anthony Underwood is your ticket. I only recently discovered W4D, so now I will have to go back and read every last post. There's so much I want to learn and recipes I want to make!
I met Marg Moon virtually in a small group organized by Substack a few months back. I’ve been enjoying her blog, Book Chat, ever since. I like her take on books, along with the recipes she includes—not fancy but delicious and doable. Plus she’s a fine writer and gives us a glimpse into her life in Australia, a place I want to visit someday.
I get a great deal of vicarious pleasure from David's discussions of his life in Paris, the food, the chefs he knows, plus some wonderful recipes and deep dives into local produce, ingredients, etc.--all told beautifully and with much humor. I'm a huge fan.
Jeff brings years of experience as a photographer, journalist and videographer to his newsletter. He has so much to share about what he knows--and it's all valuable and entertaining too. As a former tech journalist at USA Today, he brings that wealth of knowledge to his newsletter as well. The pictures are top-drawer, and the links to videos of spectacular places Jeff has visited will make you expand your bucket list--or, at the very least, make you an avid armchair traveler.
