Bittersweet is a somewhat regular, food-adjacent Substack publication written by me, Jaime.

It is about everything, and sometimes nothing at all. It is gastronomical in the loosest sense of the word, leaving plenty of creative wiggle room. There are poems and essays and sometimes recipes, though it is also kind of like a stream of consciousness, which I suppose 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 delicate rebellion against the many narratives and limitations that exist within mainstream food media. It is an excuse to write creatively and freely and naturally. It is many years in the making, and also kind of just getting started.

But hey, aren’t we all?
