Welcome to the New BGSK!

by Cara and Phoebe

As you can see, something’s different at Big Girls, Small Kitchen. We’ve been hard at work for months, planning, tinkering, writing, cooking, photographing, revising, and more.

We’ve migrated to a new platform (WordPress), updated our design, and improved our functionality tenfold, and we’re so proud and happy to be re-launching today.

If you’re a reader who’s been with us for a while, we hope you find the new BGSK as comfortable as the old one. It’s still the same old Quarter-Life Cooks behind it all-we’ve just gotten a little bit of a makeover. If you’re new, welcome!

Either way, poke around the Blog, the Guides, the News, the Featured Menus, and the updated (and photo-loaded) About Us.

Enormous thanks are due to Laureen from Paperwhite Studio, who created the beautiful design, and to Matt and Yonathan from Social Ink, who did the development.

New sites are prone to all kinds of kinks and quirks, so please let us know if you come across anything peculiar or nonfunctional. Stay tuned as we add new kinds of posts, timely menus and guides, and a whole new section-BGSK College.

We can’t wait to keep on bringing you the best recipes, most useful tips, and greatest moments from our small kitchens. We’ve now got a platform that can support our creative impulses, and we have a feeling it’s going to be great.

From our kitchen, renovated but still small, to yours,

Cara and Phoebe, THE QUARTER-LIFE COOKS

    Hi! I love the new site! I know I haven’t shown my face around BGSK in a while, but I moved to South Korea and life has been a little cooking-deprived. My kitchen has no oven, which is a devastating blow! I still follow, though. I can’t wait for your book this May! Hurray!

    I’ve been a BGSK fan ever since I saw you on The Barefoot Contessa. I love Ina, and I love how you follow her same simple style and approach to cooking. I love the new design; however, I can’t seem to make it work on my IPhone, which is what I usually use to read the blog. Do you have any suggestions/ideas what the problem might be?
