The Recovering Line Cook is a weekly newsletter for people who love to cook.
Every weekend, I send out a newsletter filled with Nordic-inspired recipes, professional cooking insights, and as many funny kitchen stories as I can cram in.
The RLC shares what I’ve learned from years in some of the most creative restaurant kitchens in Europe, distilled into practical, inspiring advice to help anyone become a better home cook.
What does my subscription get me?
Free subscribers: Quite a lot! Even if you don’t pay, you’ll receive three newsletters a month.
Paid subscribers: You’ll unlock everything: my full archive, every post, and access to my proudest project: The Prep List. This is my narrative cookbook, an ongoing series that follows a restaurant cook through a 16-hour shift, teaching you how to use professional techniques to cook extraordinary food at home, with a Nordic twist.

Who’s behind this all?
I’m Wil Reidie—a restaurant cook who writes.
At 29, I quit my marketing job, trained at London’s top culinary school, and cooked in some of Europe’s most acclaimed Michelin-starred kitchens, in both London and Stockholm.
I now live in Turku, Finland with my wife, two kids, and dog. The Recovering Line Cook is my one-man magazine of recipes, stories, and lessons from the kitchen. Today, it has over 4,500 subscribers and counting.
I’d love you to be one of them.
– Wil
