When to use it

The same weekday every week, a few hours before people plan dinner, works best. Food bloggers, recipe sites and cooking teachers can put several short pieces in one email, each linking to the full instructions.

Make it yours

  • Keep the recipes to one theme, like a time limit, so the intro line is true.
  • Show the cook time and servings for each recipe, since readers scan for them.
  • Use the P.S. to name next week's topic and give people a reason to open it.
