Who’s the Recovering Line Cook then?

That’d be me, Wil Reidie, a restaurant cook who writes.

Me, Wil Reidie.

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 essays, recipes, and stories from my life in Finland and restaurant kitchens. Today, it has over 4,500 subscribers and counting.

I’d love you to be one of them.

What does my subscription get me?

Free subscribers: Quite a lot! Even if you don’t pay, you’ll receive 1 or 2 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.
