America Eats!

The title pretty much is the greatest recommendation. Why wouldn't you want to read about books while you're drinking?

Leigh's wonderful stories are always charming and relatable. Plus she has so many recipes that even I can make!

It is and Dennis knows it. He tackles his dubious recipe with serious technique and the best oc comic timing.

Flávia Schiochet is one of my most favorite writers. She widens my understanding of her country and her deep dives into cultural, political, and social issues surrounding food keep me thinking long after I've read a post.

A prompt a day to nudge awake your mind and creativity. It always helps, especially if you're stuck in work or a rut.

Every time I read a story from Marji I kick myself because I've been thinking about the very subject and wishing I had written it first. But she does it so much better than I ever would. Always great fun to hang out with her!

It's simply one of the best newsletters for food journalism, recipes, podcasts, and videos.

I open up CulinaryWoman as soon as I find it in my inbox. I love Maynard's range of subjects, often off-beat (Ryan Reynolds and his favorite gin, for instance), and her voice which is a lesson in writing, itself.

Dianne is my source for news of the food world-she distills and makes sense of all that is going on. That's an exhausting job and she is superb at it.

Simply put, Sarah is a wonderful guide through our tangled history of and with food. She's often funny, always informative and intriguing.

H.D. Miller is the kind of teacher I wish I had but never really did: not only is he incredibly erudite on any subject he writes about but he's funny....very very funny. How many academics can you say that about!

I reached out to Kate a few years back to talk about pies and we've been talking pie ever since. her newsletter is like sitting in her kitchen, having a slice of one of her perfect pies while dissecting the joys and woes of the world--always fun, always interesting, always with a lot of heart.

Amee Vanderpool got me through the Trump years in some semblance of sanity. I wouldn't know what the hell is happening with the Supreme Court without her. She informs me about the week's leading events--and some that I should have known about but missed. If this isn't isn't enough for you, then her wit and humor should because they're a rare, very much needed, attributes these days.

Honestly, I can't bake anywhere near the level Anne does but she makes me think I can. Plus she's good company
