By TPWSYL

Rebellious nutrition and no frills recipes.

Laura Goodman

By Subsnack

Food, fun, babies and general chaos from your favourite potato pusher

I love Laura. We bonded during media training (public speaking horror! She aced it.) years ago. Her writing always engages regardless of subject matter. There is a lot of dark humour. You should all look at her Carbs and Joy of Snacks books too.

The Seaside Forager's Year

By Seaside Forager

Foraging and Cooking my way through the Church's Liturgical Year.

Fiona has been a presence in my kitchen for many years, sending all sorts of goodies from foraged foods and seaweed for me and the kids to try; if I ever ask them to guess a secret ingredient, they always start with seaweed! I am learning a lot from Fiona's posts - wonderful on the practicalities of foraging, but she also talks entertainingly around her subject, with knowledge and authority.

Welcome to my newsletter. This is where I share stories from my seaside village in the South West of France, my trips to the market, weekly recipes, and updates on our house renovation. Most of it’s free, and will always be free.

Cannot get enough of Deb's warm and humorous tales of adjusting to life in France. And her recipes are superb.

My journal x my Notes app - mostly books, food, interiors, shopping, home life, plus observations and enthusiasms.

A bear hug in newsletter form. India Knight is just infectiously generous and enthusiastic about everything she loves and she gives very good advice too. Worth every penny.
