Flavour Nuggets: Welcome & Recipe Archive
About this newsletter and a link to all the recipes
Looking for the Recipe Archive? YOU’VE FOUND IT.
Hello! I’m Helen Graves, a recipe developer, editor and writer living in London. Flavour Nuggets is my weekly newsletter exploring ways to maximise flavour in everyday cooking.
To me, underpowered food is a wasted opportunity. In this newsletter, I’ll share fun, practical and easy ways to bring serious flavour to your plate. Think nifty garnishes, sauces, dips, tips, techniques and more! Each is a trinket you can carry forward into your repertoire. The kind of things that, added to a recipe, will turn it from ‘meh’ to memorable.
How did you find this newsletter? Some of you may know me for my barbecue books and recipes; or perhaps through Pit magazine. Others may know me as a sandwich fanatic, and others - the real ones - might be long-time followers and remember me from the blogging days back in medieval times. I’m here now to reconnect with people in a more meaningful way than the odd comment on social media and to write recipes that I think will be genuinely useful. As much as I love barbecue and sandwiches, there’s so much more I want to share!
Each week, on a Tuesday I publish a central recipe I’ve developed - the core nugget. I’ll also give you suggestions for using it, and compile a collection of fun, related readings around the nugget.
In addition, there’s a secondary newsletter for paid subs, including a related recipe - quite often two.
Will there be barbecue content? Sometimes! This newsletter is about flavour first and foremost, and if I feel like charring, smoking or grilling will bring out the best in an ingredient then I’m going to go ahead and do it. Will there be sandwiches? Possibly.
Mainly I want to have fun and bring you practical, flavour-filled ideas. I think those are solid intentions. This feels ‘right’ in my gut, which is, after all, the place I spend most of my time either thinking about or feeding. It makes sense to take her advice.
