Bright, fresh, seasonal, and delicious! The Betty Eatz Newsletter is all about California Cuisine.
Hello and welcome! If you like tacos, kimchi, seasonal produce, and bright flavors, you’re in the right place.
For those who are new, I’m Betty, a food writer, recipe developer, home cook, and Southern California gal. Every Friday in this newsletter, I share California Cuisine recipes to inspire you, no matter where you live in the world. California is the most diverse state in the U.S. and is home to many ethnicities, especially peeps from Asia, South America, and the Mediterranean. The cuisine here reflects that and is a beautiful mash-up!
Other places to find me: my food blog, podcast, YouTube, and Instagram.

How to Navigate the Home Page
If you are new to Substack (and even if you’re not), there’s a lot to process on the Home Page! It is best viewed on a laptop.
Navigation Bar
At the very top of the screen is the navigation bar, which guides you to sections like:
Bookstore. Links to my ebooks and mini courses.
Premium Content Library. Premium content for paid subscribers, all in one place.
Recipe Index. The shortcut to find every recipe in the newsletters!
IG. Link to my Instagram.
Podcast. All the podcast episodes. Listen on Substack or your favorite listening platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Notes. These are short posts seen on the Substack app. Some folks like to read the newsletter in the app and peruse Notes, which is similar to a social media feed.
Archive. All newsletter posts, with the most recent one at the top.
About. Info about me and newsletter subscription options.
Buy Me a Coffee. For those who want to say thank you but aren’t sure how! This is a link to purchase me a coffee (or cocktail!) to show your appreciation.
Questions or need help finding something? Send me a message! I’m glad to help.
Thanks for being here, and see you on Friday!
