Welcome to Letter From Berlin by me, Luisa Weiss.
I’ve been writing about food and home cooking on my blog The Wednesday Chef since 2005. I’m also the author of a food memoir called My Berlin Kitchen, published in 2012, and the cookbook Classic German Baking, named one of 2016’s best baking books by both the New York Times and the Washington Post. I’m currently working on my next book, Classic German Cooking. My writing and recipes have been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, Cup of Jo, Food52, Serious Eats, Epicurious, Milk Street and Bake from Scratch, among publications. I was the food columnist at Harper’s Bazaar Germany from 2014 to 2017.
In Letter from Berlin, I want to move beyond the format that has for so long defined my online writing and expand my focus. If you subscribe, you’ll still be getting recipes from my home kitchen, but you’ll also be receiving dispatches from the land of cookbook writing and recipe testing, longer thoughts on the books I’m reading and more interactive ways to connect on those books together, occasional pieces about my own fiction writing and the struggles of being a creative person with young children, and interviews with other creative women in the fields of food and fiction. I’ll also be doing regular cooking and baking tutorials.
