mostly, french is a four times a month (basically weekly) musing with recipe written by me, Makenna Held (she/they).
I’m a recipe developer, cookbook author, host of La Pitchoune: Cooking in France on HBOMax and Magnolia Network, developed the first curriculum to teach cooking without recipes in such a way that transforms how home cooks cook, business mentor and investor, and the human who bought Julia Child’s house site unseen.
I’m the CEO of Okay, Perfect–a worker’s owned cooperative that builds experiences and educational products at the intersections of what makes us human. Our flagship experience is the Courageous Cooking School.
This is my newsletter/musings/writing home on the webernets. Often with recipes (both french and not-french), recommendations (cooking related and otherwise) and may include musings on life, being on television (it’s weird), money, entrepreneurship, and manifesting. because…breadth is my middle name. (it’s actually Elizabeth…). And yes, I do find this much joy in chopping radicchio. Somedays.
Why Should You Subscribe?
There are essentially two different experiences here: Free and Paid.
Paid subscribers of okay, perfect ($7/month or $70/year) get access to my weekly-ish recipes, opportunities to test recipes for my cookbooks, product recommendations, a more intimate look into my musings, first crack access to ALL THE THINGS, ability to comment, and additional *bonus content* (whatever that means, but it will be a bonus! and content!)
Free subscribers get one recipe a month, and access to less ‘stuff’, and fun things to read.
If you’d like a paid subscription but can’t afford it for whatever reason, DM me on instagram (@makennaheld) Happy to make it happen for you.
Posts will arrive straight to your inbox, but you can also download the substack app and get access to the chat function too.
Also. Hi. Nice to meet you on these internet streets. To learn more about me you can check out www.lapeetch.com, www.makennaheld.com, or watch my television show La Pitchoune: Cooking in France on the Magnolia Network, HBO Max, and Discovery+.
