Hi! I’m Julie — cookbook author, recipe developer, and small business owner. You might know me from Table for Two. I’ve been sharing recipes there to help simplify the relationship between food and busy lives since 2011.
You may be wondering what’s the point of this alternate newsletter. Well, this space is different. There’s no algorithm deciding what you should see. No ads. No noise. Just writing that’s real, intentional, and directly from me to you.
Why subscribe?
Aside from supporting me as an independent writer and creator, as a subscriber, you’ll receive:
A direct connection - no middlemen, no social media games, just me!
Personal stories - honest, reflective writing. Things on my mind that I am bursting at the seams to share with you.
An ad-free experience - unlike the blog, where I need to generate ad-supported content, table talk. will have no pop-ups, distractions, or sponsored fluff.
An open forum - thoughtful discussion with other like-minded followers. Like, comment, restack! Don’t be afraid to engage.
A way to support me as a creator - whether free or paid, you’ll be helping me build something sustainable and reader-focused.
Above all, real and unfiltered conversation - not optimized for clicks, just crafted for connection.
If you’re looking for something slower, more meaningful, and a little more human online, you’ll feel at home here.
