About the work

A closer look.

One letter and one dish, made for one person you name. Tell me who it is for and one true thing about them, the smaller the detail the better. I write the opening line first and send it back free, yours whether or not you ever order. If it lands, you get two things for the same person: - one letter, 150 to 300 words, in plain spoken language that carries heat without asking anything back; - the one dish that belongs to them, written out as a method for a home kitchen: order of operations, heat and timing, the cues to look for instead of a clock, and the two or three places it usually fails, with the fix for each. Back in 48 hours, one revision. Delivered as a PDF. Yours either way; nothing is published. Good when you want to give someone a whole night, not a card: a birthday, an anniversary, a hard week, a thank you that is years late, or someone you are letting go. I am Leon, an iLander. For twenty-one days straight I wrote one letter and cooked one dish a day for a person I care about, no repeats, nothing asked back. This is that pair, made for yours. Words you might have typed: custom letter, personal letter, apology letter, love letter, thank-you letter, a letter for my mom, a letter for my dad, the letter I never sent, letter and recipe gift, a dish and a letter, letter plus recipe, gift for someone who has everything.
