I’m Rebecca, a cookbook author, recipe developer, and food photographer. While I have cooked professionally, mostly I am a home cook and baker who writes for other home cooks and bakers.
Also, my husband and I are nomads who divide our time between an RV and a sailboat, so I write about life on the road and on the water, the incredible places we visit, and the inspiring people we meet along the way.
One of the greatest lessons that a nomadic has taught me is that there are fascinating, thoughtful, good people everywhere. I have a feeling you might be one of them.
If you enjoy reading recipes, recommendations, hosting tips, and good ideas from other people and are inspired by new places and experiences, you’ll find some like-minded friends here. Above all else, I hope you find beauty and inspiration inside every issue.
The Let’s Get Lost Newsletter comes out every Saturday morning and is free all subscribers. Every issue includes stories and photos from the road and the water plus a weekly menu of new recipes inspired by the places we visit and the people we meet.
A VIP section for Lost Supper Club Members (paid subscribers)! You’ll find a cozy little corner on rebeccablackwell.com just for paid subscribers. Is that you? Here’s where you’ll find it! In every issue of this newsletter, look for the section titled “What’s happening in the Lost Supper Club” to find out what’s new.
"Rebecca's newsletter is filled with heart. In the stories she writes, the recipes she shares and the feelings she evokes. It's one of my favorites.” - Sandra

Why did I create the Lost Supper Club?
I created the Supper Club for several reasons, including:
I wanted to go deeper into the places we travel and provide a place for like-minded people to connect, support, and inspire each other.
I wanted to create a tangible, lasting, solid memory of these digital and in person interactions in the form of cookbooks that are a representation of a 12 month journey we went on together.
I wanted to connect with remarkable cooks, bakers, and food writers from all over the country and introduce them to the members of the Let’s Get Lost community.
I wanted what I do here - writing the Let’s Get Lost newsletter - to be more interactive than what can be achieved by writing alone.
I hope you will join us!
The Let’s Get Lost Cookbook
The Let’s Get Lost Cookbook is the culmination of many of the recipes and stories I published in this newsletter in 2024. It includes 143 recipes with full color photos of every dish and, scattered amongst the recipes, a handful of the stories from our life on the road.
Find out more about the cookbook here, including a free preview!
The 2025 cookbook project, The Year of The Supper Club, will be shaped and influenced by the stories and recipes from Supper Club members that I meet on the road as we travel around the country.
Come along with me as I travel to all of these places and learn how to cook the kinds of foods that offer a peak into the regional geography and culture.
You can view our 2025 travel schedule here. If you live near any of the places we will visit and would like to connect, please let me know! (rebecca@rebeccablackwell.com)
I do not want cost to stand in the way of anyone joining the Lost Supper Club. So…

A little bit more about me
I have been cooking and baking professionally and just for the sheer pleasure of it for nearly 30 years, and writing and publishing recipes since 2013. But, since launching the Let’s Get Lost newsletter in early 2024, I’ve connected with a quickly growing community of people who may be scattered all over the world but who’s kitchens we would all feel welcome in.
Unlike my two recipe websites (ofbatteranddough.com and alittleandalot.com), the Let’s Get Lost newsletter and the Lost Supper Club allow me to write and interact directly with that generous community. It’s a much more intimate exchange and the only rules are the ones we make up as we go along.
Also, no ads. 👏
I am also a cookbook author and run a monthly mastermind group for food writers.
LOVE the addition of the sailboat to your cover photo!!
