The Current Issue

Winter 2024 — "The Long Table"

Forty-eight pages of slow Sunday cooking: a pot-roast master class from Anne's mother-in-law, a quiet defense of the Bundt pan, and a letter Anne wrote at the kitchen table one January morning about why she still believes in the printed page. Mailed in mid-December to subscribers across 19 states.

  1. Cover Recipe

    Sunday Pot Roast, the Way My Mother-in-Law Makes It

    A 4-hour, low-oven, no-fuss braise tested 11 times in 6 home kitchens — served with brown butter mashed potatoes and a quick horseradish cream.

  2. Equipment

    In Defense of the Bundt Pan

    Why this one 1970s piece of aluminum deserves the empty drawer space, plus four cakes that prove it.

  3. Essay

    A Letter, Written One January Morning

    On cooking for two after a house that used to seat ten, and the small rituals that keep a kitchen warm in February.

A Note From Anne

“I started this print quarterly because I missed paper. I missed turning a page with floury fingers and not caring if the screen timed out. The Kitchen Table Journal isn't a newsletter in a thin disguise — it's a real 32-page magazine, mailed four times a year to 22,000 people who asked for one more thing to read at the kitchen table. If that's you, we'd love to send you the next one.”
