Introducing: Notes to Recipes

Hello again,

For the best part of two decades, I’ve made a living turning ideas into recipes - for books, publications, brands, and now, my own patch of the internet. But everything generally starts with a phone note: from fully formed moments of inspiration, hashed out on the commute, to typo-heavy restaurant recommendations I don’t remember jotting down in smoking areas.

My notes are a place to catch an idea before it disappears, or a reminder of something I don’t understand yet. And when those things are explored, great food tends to follow.

Each week, I’ll share a few notes from the past seven days. Where I’ve been, who I’ve seen, what I’ve cooked, what I’ve got wrong, and how it all gradually turns into something edible. Each newsletter will culminate in a genuinely useful recipe inspired by those notes, built to be cooked again, and again.

99% of the newsletter will be for paid subscribers, with a public post from time to time so you can get a feel for it. So if you are game, you can jump right in, or test the water with a seven-day trial.

I really hope to see you there,

Ben xxx
