THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who reached out about “A Love Letter to My Dutch Oven” in the New York Times last week. (That’s a gift link if you missed it and would like to read.) The essay, about how my 5 1/2-quart enameled-steel Le Creuset watched me grow up, was a lot of fun to write, but even better were all the texts and emails I received from long-lost friends. And since apparently a 1000-word essay doesn’t seem to be sufficient, I have continued the Dutch oven conversation about over on my Substack newsletter, which is the main place you’ll find me these days. Earlier this week, I shared my Top 10 favorite Dutch oven recipes as well as the somewhat out-of-nowhere epiphany that inspired the essay. Please swing by — and if you like what you read, join the community by subscribing. Thanks so much.
That was a fabulous read! 🙂
