Bright, fresh, seasonal, and delicious! The Betty Eatz Newsletter is all about California Cuisine. Every recipe reflects the fresh produce of our Golden State and the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural people that live here. It’s a beautiful mash-up of flavors!
What to Expect Around Here
Newsletters
Every Friday, a newsletter is published featuring snippets of life in Southern California, plus doable and delish recipes to inspire you. Everything from appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, pizzas, and desserts. Plus, tacos! And the occasional cocktail. Available to everyone.
Podcasts
Every three weeks, a new episode is available. It features real recipes created by real people, not AI! Guests include food writers, recipe developers, professional recipe testers, food magazine editors, and even Great American Baking Show winners! Available to everyone.
Field Trips
Every three months, tag along virtually as we visit growers and producers of California Cuisine ingredients. You get an inside peek at a Coachella Valley date farm, a sustainable strawberry farm, a California winery, and an olive oil producer. Available to paid subscribers.
Restaurant Recommendations
Every three months, a special newsletter features favorite restaurants in Southern California. These recommendations are more than your usual Yelp review. They are personal favorites of mine and ones where my family and I have eaten many times. Bookmark them for your next vacation or stay-cation! Available to everyone.
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!
Navigation Bar
At the very top of the screen is the navigation bar, which guides you to sections like:
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.
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!) as appreciation.
Bookstore. Links to my ebook and anything else I come up with this year, lol.
Recipe Index. The shortcut to find every recipe in the newsletters! A great resource.
IG. Link to my Instagram.
Podcast. Takes you to all the podcast episodes. Listen right here on Substack or on your favorite podcast listening platform like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.
Archive. Takes you to all past newsletters with the most recent one at the top.
About. Info about me and newsletter subscription options.
Page Organization
The Home Page is broken down into easy-to-find sections.
Top: most recent newsletters.
Middle: most popular posts.
Lower: sections of interest, including the most recent podcasts, menu plans, and seasonal dishes.
