Why subscribe?

Alice Carbone Tench, an Italian-born, Los Angeles-based author of Eating Again, The Recipes that Healed Me, owner of The Italian Cookie cookie mixes, and long-time collaborator of local non-profit like Hollywood Farmers Market, Oxfam America, and Food Access LA, has been writing insightful monthly newsletter for years, and publishes authentic, healthy, and easy Italian recipes every Sunday. Twice a month, the column Things I Am Liking comes out, as a reminder and inspiration to look for the beautiful things around us, even during dark times.

By Subscribing for $30 (or $5 a month) a year you will get monthly written and audio newsletters, exclusive recipes every Sunday, discounted zoom monthly cooking classes, and exclusive access to comments and member-only chat. When you become a funding member for $100 a year you will get all the members benefits + a set of organic Italian Cookie cookie mixes.

This place, born to take some distance from Instagram, and also to fund some of the writing Alice, the online Instagram shows and the recipes Alice has been providing for years, was created for intimacy, safety and fellowship; this is a place where to share thoughts on the weekly recipes or on the thought-provoking themes in each monthly essay, a place where to give and receive.
