Family Friend is a food and recipe newsletter project created by me, Lukas Volger. I’m a cookbook author and editor and I’ve worked in a lot of different areas of food, most often focusing on vegetarian recipes that use easy-to-find, whole ingredients. Loosely organized around the figure of the family friend — a figure that’s been important in my life; I write about the origin and inspiration for this project here — my aim is to be a friendly, accepting, and resourceful presence in your kitchen.

What you can expect:

  • Free subscribers: A new recipe every month, plus a selection of links, announcements, and other delightful information I think is worth sharing.

  • Paying subscribers: A new recipe every week; a regular selection of links, announcements, and other delightful information I think is worth sharing; plus occasional invitations to cooking classes, special newsletter dispatches that focus on ingredients or techniques, and my eternal thanks.

Like most things on the internet, this is a work in progress, and I expect it to evolve and adapt to what best resonates with you.
