WELCOME TO SMALL WINS
For those who want achievable tips and ideas for improving their cooking, their home + their lives
Small Wins is a fortnightly newsletter by me, Alexina. I’m a cook, MasterChef finalist and author based in London. Welcome!
In life, it’s often the small steps that lead to the BIG wins — so every other week I’ll share a small win that has the power to enhance your cooking, your home or your life.
I wasn’t born an amazing cook. I’ll let you in on a secret: I was probably the least naturally gifted in my foodie family. However, I reached the final of MasterChef through lots of small improvements made over the course of several years. This newsletter will help you get there much faster.
We’ll cover things like:
the easiest, most foolproof way to cook rice
the 3-ingredient tomato sauce that everyone ought to know about
the most delicious homemade pizza dough (which also happens to be the most hands off)
an essential technique for the juiciest roast chicken
why most #organisationinspo sucks, and the best ways to make your kitchen work for you
It’s simple: get to the need-to-know intel way quicker than I did by signing up.
Feel free to let others know about it too!
Posting Schedule + Subscription Levels
Free subscribers will receive a highly useful, achievable small win every other Saturday morning, straight into your inbox. Starting 6th July.
Paid subscribers, in addition to receiving the free newsletter, will become part of Small Wins+. On the first Sunday of the month paid subscribers will receive an extra newsletter containing a deep-dive into a particular area or category. Over the course of the next few months we’ll be getting into everything you need to know about jam, kitchen organisation, pasta, potatoes and ragu, to name a few. Consider these a set of handy reference guides that you can return to again and again. Of course, as a paid subscriber you will also be supporting the time and expense that goes into producing the (always) free fortnightly newsletter. Plus you’ll get to shape future posts.
Founding members, in addition to the above, will get a chance to come over to mine for dinner. If you choose to join at this level then a huge thank you for your support — it means the world.
