Catherine Is Under Pressure ( Catherine Phipps )
Catherine is Under Pressure pushes the boundaries of what can be cooked in a pressure cooker. It combines guides, deep dives into methodology, everyday and “project” recipes, book reviews with a twist, with personal anecdotes where appropriate, all designed to give people confidence using a brilliant but much maligned bit of kit. People describe it as life changing!
An eclectic, multinational mix of seasonal recipes designed specifically for the pressure cooker. I’ve written a lot of cookbooks, the most recent is Everyday Pressure Cooking.

Join me for authentic cooking experiences, practical tips, and the occasional travel story as we continue our journey toward full-time RV living.
Feast Mode ( Kaitlynn Rivera )
My substack is about real good food but really the people and culture behind it. I’m also working on injecting more of my personal experience as the only software engineer I’ve met in over a decade of doing the thing who is also a mother. Definitely a juxtaposition of how food puts us in our bodies, connects us and cooking is maybe the definition of being human vs the effects of the most modern tech on our lives.
Fresh by Lisa Steele ( Fresh by Lisa Steele )
I live in Maine and raise chickens, ducks and geese. I also cook eggs. Lots and lots of eggs. Mostly egg recipes and dishes using fresh, seasonal produce, but also some Scandinavian and classic American recipes. My debut cookbook is titled The Fresh Eggs Daily Cookbook (HarperCollins, 2022)
How Food Works ( Fiona Fitwi )
I love food and I love science, and I love deep-diving into all the nooks and crannies of where the two worlds collide. After experimenting, reading and researching, I realised just how convoluted and contradicting the cooking world can be, and it made me think - imagine if someone distilled this all down to the bare bones, the facts and foundations?
Cooking With Friends produces 2 weekly newsletters, HOW FOOD WORKS and TEST KITCHEN, the first delving into all things food science and the second into science-backed pairings, experimental recipes, succinct 101 ‘cheat sheets’ to help you master your kitchen in a fun and exciting way.
Let’s Get Lost ( Rebecca Blackwell )
Hello! I’m a recipe developer, writer, and food photographer but mostly I am a home cook and baker who writes for other home cooks and bakers. My husband and I are nomads who live full time in an RV, so I also write about life on the road and many of my recipes are inspired by the places we visit. I also publish recipes on two recipe websites: alittleandalot.com and ofbatteranddough.com
Lina’s CookBook Chronicles ( Lina's cookbooks chronicles )
I write about cookbooks, old and new, exploring their stories, testing their recipes, and delving into themes related to culinary traditions and discoveries. Drawing from my long foodie experience and my big cookbook collection, I seek to highlight intriguing and original stories/topics. After many years in France and Bulgaria, I now call Brussels, Belgium, home, where my passion for European cuisine, history, and culture continues to grow.
Written in both English and French, my Substack is a personal culinary journey—offering inspiration for your next discovery- through cookbooks and personal experiences.
Roux and Choux Entertaining ( Jenn Sharp )
A sanctuary for the lost art of connection, conversation, friendship and food. Entertaining as an essential to feed our souls and our palates. A space dedicated to helping us navigate the isolation of the present world by creating a space to engage, learn and relax and languish in the art of cuisine and culture. For us that’s the laissez faire approach to New Orleans cuisine and cocktails. Basically,… yes to both. 30 years of party planning, cake art and cooking to make lives better.

The Delicious Bits Dispatch ( Elizabeth Pizzinato )
The Delicious Bits Dispatch is a weekly dispatch from an adventuresome globetrotter who likes to discover things, ponder things, cook things, eat things and write about it all. For those who see food as a gateway to meaning—an exploration of the senses, the seasons, and the stories that connect us—this is a place to savour life in all its impermanent, delicious beauty. The recipes span a world of flavours and styles, but they all have one thing in common: a focus on seasonal ingredients. Many are inspired by gems pulled from cookbooks of every kind—classic, contemporary, unexpected, or long forgotten.

The Dinner Plan is your resource for real-life cooking inspiration, whoever you are.

Those Two Girls is where good food, Southern hospitality, and New England charm come together. We’re Martha and Julia, two friends who believe delicious food and thoughtful details can turn everyday moments into something special. From tried-and-true recipes and seasonal cooking to entertaining inspiration, supper clubs, and hands-on workshops, we share our love of bringing people together around the table. Our philosophy is simple: Everyday Fancy isn’t about perfection or extravagance. It’s about cooking with heart, welcoming people warmly, and making even an ordinary Tuesday feel worth celebrating. Pull up a chair!
Three Little Halves ( QueenSashy )
Three Little Halves is a food journal of seasonal cooking — recipes and stories that travel between New York’s greenmarkets and the Belgrade of my childhood, with detours through the Mediterranean and Spice Road. Expect slow-baked vegetables, unreasonable devotion to figs, dark moody photographs, and the occasional family ghost at the table. I’ve been writing and photographing food since 2013; my work has earned a James Beard and Saveur nominations and IACP Award. Come hungry, stay for the stories.
Time for Dins ( Emma Frisch )
Dependable, mouthwatering recipes and meal plans for every season with a Mediterranean twist. As a busy mom and cookbook author, I design every dish to reduce stress and bring joy to family meals.

Trifling w/ Food ( Lisa Golden Schroeder )
I’m a longtime food writer and food stylist for commercial photography. I’ve written personal essays for years around my cooking life & curiosity about food and where it comes from (and the history & culture around it.) Trifling w/ Food wraps up all the loose threads of my kitchen life as an American cook. My background in classical French cooking (I studied in Paris) + my time working in test kitchens, teaching cooking, and writing for clients and publications all underpin what I share in an eclectic way. Globally influenced, but American through & through, I try to translate my own explorations—at home and away—around growing, making, and eating good food accessible & fun.
Yarden Diario de cocina ( Katerin Yarden )
Soy Katerin Peñaloza. Cocinera, pastelera y artista de fibra apasionada. Vivo en una pequeña casa enfrente de un lindo bosque, en medio de la ciudad. Aquí es donde trabajo y paso la mayor parte del tiempo. A mi cocina le encanta la variedad, los colores, es un campo de experimentación intuitiva. Me inspira el campo, las flores, las frutas y los productos de temporada para hornear.
Aprendí a cocinar leyendo viejos libros de cocina, pero detesto seguir recetas, así que hace muchos años decidí empezar a crear las mías. Disfruto transformar ingredientes en mágicos platillos para compartir y reconectar. Escribo recetas, historias en mi cocina, recomendaciones culinarias y mi afición por la jardinería.
