After nearly 15 years of blogging, Dinner: A Love Story author Jenny Rosenstrich is shifting her primary content to the Substack platform. The move reflects a broader trend among independent creators seeking greater control over their audience and revenue.
A Long-Running Legacy
For years, Rosenstrich’s blog has been a staple for readers interested in food, family, and lifestyle. Her writing has evolved alongside her life—from feeding young children to supporting aging parents and hosting grown-up friends. The dinner table, she says, has always been her core expression of love.
Why Substack?
Substack allows Rosenstrich to offer exclusive content through paid subscriptions. This includes:
- Recipe indexes
- Travel itineraries (New York, Lisbon, Kiawah Island, Maine)
- Behind-the-scenes updates on her recent move
- Complete menu plans for entertaining
- Bonus recipes (such as a vegetarian shepherd’s pie)
- Weekly meal plans
- Author interviews
The newsletter is consistently ranked among the top 10 food newsletters on Substack, proving a strong demand for this type of premium content.
What This Means for Readers
While the blog will still see occasional updates, Rosenstrich encourages readers to subscribe to her Substack newsletter to access the full range of content. She also plans a fun challenge for fans of her Weekday Vegetarian book series in 2025.
The shift to Substack allows Jenny Rosenstrich to deepen her connection with readers while providing exclusive, high-value content. This move highlights a growing trend among creators who want to own their audience relationships and monetize their work directly.
