Join me on the Substack app for T.E.H. community conversation...
If youāve been following our journey for any length of time, you know that lately Iāve been really wrestling with the various challenges social media has presented over the past few years. Iām so grateful for my work in leading The Elliott Homestead Cooking Community, running our blog, hosting our podcast, and sharing with you over on YouTube. The struggle has always been how we can connect in a real way, without the trolls, bots, and nay-sayers being a part of the conversation.
Today, Iām very excited to announce a brand new addition to my Substack/newsletter publication: The Elliott Homestead Newsletter subscriber chat.
This is a conversation space in the Substack app that I set up exclusively for my subscribers ā kind of like a group chat or live hangout. Iāll post short prompts, thoughts, and updates that come my way, and you can jump into the discussion.
To join our chat, youāll need to download the Substack app, now available for both iOS and Android. Chats are sent via the app, not email, so turn on push notifications so you donāt miss conversation as it happens.
How to get started
Download the app by clicking this link or the button below. Substack Chat is now available on both iOS and Android.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and youāll see a row for my chat inside.
Thatās it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substackās FAQ.
If youāre interested in joining in on our private Elliott Homestead chat, Iād love for you to join in! āSeeā you there!
Cheers,
Shaye

Off topic but have wanted to let you know... I just finished āThe Moonrakers Brideā after hearing you mention it on the podcast. What a delightful story! Thank you!
It has been years since I read a novel (reading books on history and skill learning lately) Moonrakers bride did not disappoint. I read it in only a couple days.
Iād like to recommend a book for you...
āChewing the fat. An oral history of Italian good ways from Fascism to Dolce Vitaā by Karinās Moyer-Nocchi. The premise behind the book is the author interviews all these old Italian ladies, many centurions and they recount their lives centred around food and share a recipe. Knowing your love of Italy and real food, if you havenāt read this one yet, Iām positive youāll enjoy it! Cheers!
What a fun feature! I left social media in 2020, but stay connected through email, YouTube and the podcast. LOVE it all! š Iām so very thankful for the work that you do!!!
