Welcome to HOW FOOD WORKS + Test Kitchen!
Everything you need to know about this weekly newsletter.
Hey Friends!
Just wanted to touch base with you since the start of the newsletter!
Thank you so much for the continuing support - it means the world! And, welcome to the new members of the family!
I have been having the TIME OF MY LIFE writing these weekly deep dives, I can only hope it’s been something you’ve found useful!
Just some housekeeping:
Going forward, I’m going to amend the following for the newsletter:
The newsletter will now be dropping at 9am on Saturdays.
I have personally found weekends are the only time I really get to properly read my subscriptions. I also imagine it could be better suited for trying out recipes and experimenting.
The newsletter will now come in two sections.
“HOW FOOD WORKS”
This will be the deep dives into cooking techniques and ingredients, and will be free and sent to everyone, every week.
“TEST KITCHEN”
This will be the 101s, pairing and flavour deep dives and the recipes. Expect a much more practical guide, with video demos and recipe explanations. This will go to paid subscriber inboxes only, every week.
The newsletters are getting very long! I want to keep you informed without it being too daunting! By doing this, I can tailor each newsletter better to its purpose and hopefully, make it better quality for you!
Upcoming Events:
I’m putting on a supper club in collaboration with Women of Colour Belfast on the 22nd of March (in 2 weeks!). It will be held in Stereo on the Cregagh Road and is open to everyone. It will be the last supper club for a while (maybe of this year) whilst I navigate moving, freelancing and all that jazz!
You can get tickets here!
CWF x Belfast
As many of you know, this is my 10th year in Belfast. Although I’ve loved every minute of it, I always planned to go home to London eventually. It seems the time has come! This year I will be leaving Belfast, so I want to update you on what that looks like for the CWF family!
Belfast is the home that grew CWF and you lovely people are the reason I’ve got to where I am today. Without your support, none of this would be possible. I’ve always said the supper club will not be something that is nurtured and supported in Belfast just to be uprooted and moved to London. And I stand by it!
I’m working on putting plans in place to make sure CWF is still coming back to put on events for you. I’d like to expand the events from just supper clubs, and maybe look into more food and drink related events! I would love to hear your thoughts on this, as this is for you, so I’d ideally like to plan things you’d actually like to be a part of! There’s a comment box below you can use to discuss, or alternatively for those with the app, we have a group chat on there!
Okay, that’s enough words for a Monday.
As always, thanks from the bottom of my heart for joining the ride, and any questions or suggestions - send them my way!
I hope you all have a beautiful week <3
Fiona :)
