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: Periodic recipes, author q&a’s, and other posts, typically available for a 1-week preview period and then moved behind a paywall.

  • Paying subscribers: A new recipe every week, plus bonus recipes from cookbooks and cookbook authors I think you’ll enjoy, occasional livestream classes and talks, early access for class and book announcements, and full access to my archive of 100+ recipes, with no paywalls.

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.
