What is Bittersweet?

Good question!

Bittersweet is a somewhat regular publication written (and edited and published) by me (Jaime).

It is about everything, and nothing at all. It’s a little bit food oriented, though not restricted to the culinary arts. It is more like a stream of consciousness that could be compared to a blog or a diary, except that it shows up in your inbox. But not too often, I promise.

This news-less newsletter is both a passion project and a counter-argument to the many narratives and limitations that exist within mainstream food media. It is a polite (though stern) rebellion against the institutional forces which hinder creativity and leave little space for growth.

With this independent format, I hope to write freely and openly, using ingredients and seasons as guidance for exploring the many dynamic aspects of our modern world.

I sincerely hope you’ll join me.
