Hello faithful blog readers. Can I tell you how much I love that you are still here, almost 15 years after I wrote my first post ever on the Dinner: A Love Story blog? Honestly, sometimes I canโt believe it myself. But then I think about my dinner table and how much it has evolved over the course of that period โ from feeding my little grade schoolers to being an empty nester to taking care of our aging parents to pulling up a chair for our kidsโ grown-up friends โ and it makes sense. Dinner, no matter what form it takes, no matter who I am feeding, will always be my love language.
And just the way dinner evolves, so does the way I write about it. As we head into the holidays, I wanted to remind you that my recipes and essays are almost entirely appearing on Substack these days. Iโll post a recipe here on the blog every now and then, but if you subscribe to my newsletter, youโll get access toย recipe indexes, vacation itineraries (includingย New York,ย Lisbon,ย Kiawah Island, Maine),ย dispatches on my move from the suburbs to the city, complete menu plans for entertaining, not to mention bonus recipes like the coziest Vegetarian Shepherdโs Pie I make all winter long, My Big Giant Reset Dinner, plus the occasionalย Monday-to-Friday meal planย andย Zoom Talk with bestselling authors.
Iโm proud to say that the Dinner: A Love Story newsletter is consistently ranked one of the Top 10 food newsletters onย ALL of Substack.
You can explore all membership plans (including the free one) here, and if you know someone who is interested in eating and living well, perhaps consider giving my newsletter as a gift. You can do that right here.
I have so much excellent bonus content planned for 2025 that I do not want you to miss โ including a fun challenge involving my Weekday Vegetarians book series! I hope to see you on Substack.
Thanks, as always for the support.
Jenny
