Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s 2024!!
What’s IN for 2024? Cooking at home and cooking on dates. It’s all over my feeds and even Alix Earle agrees. If your New Year’s resolutions include cooking more at home and/or going on more dates, then this is the newsletter for you.

Simmer Early Access is LIVE
Simmer is the cooking app for dates. With Simmer, you and your date get on the app and separately select your preferences for meal type, food/cuisine, dietary, prep, mood, time, and difficulty of recipes. Next, you’ll each swipe through the ingredients. Then, you’ll receive three custom recipe recommendations that align with your shared tastes.
Thanks to all who completed the form! You should have an email from Apple in your Inbox with instructions on how to download the first version of Simmer via TestFlight. Make sure to have your cooking buddy/date sign up as well, so you can cook together. If you’d like to be added to the VIP beta list, sign up here.
