The Downsizing Diva’s Substack

By Lizzie Wingfield

Fat foodie and demented cook-from-scratchatarian sharing recipes and stories about losing weight eating fabulous food. Also Food-Giant Slayer.

Lizzie's writing is phenomenal, makes me chuckle, smile and laugh. As soon as I came across her Substack, I sent off the EV post to my husband. I wish to imbibe her self deprecating writing style. Do read to bring the joy of words into your life.

The Secret Ingredient

By Harrison

Learn to cook hit restaurant recipes at home!

I love Harrison's Substack because of his unique idea of recreating restaurant recipes. We all have nostalgic associations with restaurants and recipes, and Harrison is making it easy to reconnect with those memories.

Culinary Repertoire

By Lisa McLean

A place where Marcella Hazan’s teachings and global spice traditions come together through stories, recipes, and the science of good food, one repertoire for many kitchens.

I love Lisa's eclectic and inclusive approach to cooking. My jaw fell to the ground when I saw the recipe for Misal Pav (a streetfood from where I come from in India) on her Substack. And that had a recipe for the masala for Misal too. She has the same thoughtful and respectful approach to all her recipes.
