Why subscribe?

Welcome! I hope you’ll subscribe to get the Cook These Books newsletter!

I’m excited to do my favorite thing—read cookbooks like novels—and test some recipes before sharing reviews with you. You can read about my cookbook obsession here.

Since this newsletter is just starting up, nothing is behind a paywall for the moment, so you’ll get new posts in your inbox of reviews of just-published and fairly recent cookbooks, as well as Cookbook Flashback posts about cookbooks I’ve known and loved. Get them while they’re hot! When we’re no longer half-baked, the new book reviews will be what paid subscribers get, along with the ability to comment and occasional bonus pieces.

If you can’t find the newsletter in your email, check your Spam folder or Promotions tab, and move the welcome email to your primary inbox. If you’re still having issues, Substack offers tips here.

You can also log in to the website to read the full archives or access a clean, ad-free reading experience in the Substack app.
