Hello! I’m Helen Graves, a recipe developer, editor and writer living in London. Flavour Nuggets is my weekly newsletter exploring ways to maximise flavour in everyday cooking.

Some of you may know me for writing barbecue books, others for Pit magazine, or perhaps you’ve seen my work in other publications. I’ve worked widely across print and digital titles for the past 15 years and with many food publishers, photographers, chefs, stylists, retailers and producers. It’s fair to say that I’ve had a hand in many metaphorical pies.

Flavour Nuggets is where I celebrate my love for amping up flavour, distilling my experience into concentrated nuggets - i.e. nifty recipes.

Each week on a Tuesday, I share a central recipe I’ve developed - the core nugget. It could be a condiment, sauce, dip, garnish, technique or otherwise useful item that will help make your day-to-day cooking and eating more exciting when you have it on hand. I’ll also give you suggestions for using it, share what I’ve been reading that week (I am a hopeless bookworm!) and anything else I’ve found interesting.

Why subscribe to Flavour Nuggets: Supersized!?

Paid subscribers receive an additional newsletter each week on a Friday with an exclusive recipe inside. This recipe often uses that week’s nugget or is related to it in some way. Sometimes, there are two recipes. You’ll also gain access to the entire Flavour Nuggets Recipe Archive (new posts are paywalled after 2 weeks), and you’ll be able to interact with me and other Flavour Nuggets members. You’ll also be supporting me to continue writing and developing recipes.
