Hey, it’s Carla!

Food Processing is where I write about new recipe development and share those recipes. This happens weekly! While everyone can read my newsletter, only paid subscribers can access the written recipe doc and chat with me and each other about the dish.

I am not a vegetarian but a lot of my recipes are, or can easily be adapted to be meat-free. Here are three recipes that Readers Just Like You can’t get enough of:

Nutritional Yeast Vinaigrette

Brothy Kimchi Dream Bowl

Spaghetti with Sausage and Mushroom Bolo

I am in the process of writing my third book (pub date Fall 2026); pray for me! I’ve been sharing some sneak peek recipes, such as this Toasted Sesame Cake, and looking forward to sharing more on that front: the title and cover, BTS from the photo shoot in June, pre-order information, and early access to some of the writing in the book.

I also write about product recommendations, kitchen organization, tools and equipment, restaurants, and ingredients (the ones you’ve heard of and maybe some not!). Most of these posts are public.

This is an queer- and trans-positive space; if that makes you uncomfy, hop on outta here.
