Updates for 2026
It’s been a while since I’ve written a Dispatch, and I do apologize for the delay. I wasn’t writing much about the kitchen, because I was hardly in mine the last few months. My focus shifted to some major design projects and a lot of holiday writing/planning. But I am so back. I have missed my spatulas, my herbs, and my creative workspace. I have long loved creative play in my home, re-arranging, decorating, and scenting. But it was only last year that the kitchen became a place where I truly felt creative freedom. I love standing there and problem-solving, testing, and imagining new flavors.
Unit 1: The Home Grocery
For the 2026 Dispatch, I am starting this year with a focus on turning my kitchen into my favorite restaurant. And so we are starting the year with core basics — building blocks for a unique restaurant. Essentially, making the things you will use on other things. Like coffee syrups to make unique lattes, jams, butters, dressings, and more. My goal is that our fridges and pantries feel like a luxury grocery store, stocked with unique goods by the end of the unit.
I’ve planned lessons around certain flavors or ingredients, so you can batch make these creative projects in one swoop! Ultimately, I will compile our lessons and recipes for easy reference.
