Closed Loop Cooking Weekly Newsletter 4.10.20

April 10th, 2020

Hi fam,

Big news, HUGE! I relaunched the Closed Loop Cooking website! You can see it in all its digital glory here. I would greatly appreciate it if you share the link with literally everyone you know who’s also stuck at home and already on the internet. A massive shout out to Jenn Weed of Caffeinated Web Studio, the incredibly talented developer I’ve been lucky enough to work with. This could not have happened without her. <3 Why a new site you ask? For the past two years, I’ve been slowly building CLC testing recipes, taking photos, creating illustrations, putting on events, establishing a digital voice, and cultivating this community. I want to share it all with you, everything I’ve learned and will continue to learn through this process. So I’m elevating the site. We’re shifting into the distinct food media platform you’ve always dreamed of.

Now, more than ever, plant-based, low waste living matters. We’ll be here gifting content you can leave open on a browser with too many tabs until Chrome crashes. And then some. I’m so excited to take this next step and immensely grateful for the support y’all have offered. Help me spread the word and pass CLC along to a friend (or foe, we all gotta eat.) Much love.

Stay hungry,Hawnuh Lee | Founder, Closed Loop Cooking
