Hello :)
I’m Jake, a chef, recipe creator and big time foodie. You might know me from Instagram or TikTok (@plantfuture), where I share recipes inspired by cuisines from around the world. This newsletter is where I slow down and actually teach you how to cook, not just what to make, but how to build the skills, confidence, and intuition to do it well.
This space is here to help you:
Learn real cooking skills that make you confident in the kitchen
Practice techniques you’ll actually use again and again
Cook more creatively, with fewer rules and more intuition
Stay inspired without feeling overwhelmed
Build a consistent habit of cooking and improving over time
Whether you’re starting out or sharpening your skills, you’re in the right place.
What you get as a free subscriber
Occasional posts with quick tips to build your cooking skills
A taste of what’s inside the membership so you can see if it’s for you
What you get as a paid subscriber
Full access to all recipes and step-by-step videos from my reels and beyond
In-depth tutorials that break down the how behind cooking + techniques, flavour principles, prep strategies and how to host like a pro!
The full archive, so you can dive into past recipes and lessons anytime
This is the space for everything that needs more depth than an Instagram reel or caption can hold.

Do you include nutritional info?
I don’t calculate nutrition labels, my focus is on technique, flavour, and structure, but you can plug any recipe into tools like Samsung Food or MyFitnessPal if needed.
Let’s cook
This newsletter isn’t just for collecting recipes, it’s for actually improving how you cook. I’m glad you’re here and can’t wait to see what you make next.
