Oh Beth! I wondered if you’d need a change. You’re a wonderful content provider. We have so enjoyed your videos and posts. I hope this transition will be a good one for you. I feel frustrated at the changes on the internet that feel so imposed on us. AI makes me feel uneasy and so do the trends that come up and make filtering what we see and watch so difficult. But please do keep your Substack active! We (my daughter and I) look forward to them. ❤️

You go it! Substack has been such a breath of fresh air for me! I'm so glad you followed me here, and to hear that you and your daughter enjoy it together makes it even sweeter!

Dear Beth,

I just want to say that finding you on you tube was how my husband and I began enjoying cooking together. You helped us take the stress out of cooking large meals over the holidays . Love the cook book and your zest for entertaining. Thank you .

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

Aww I love knowing that! How awesome that you and your husband have enjoyed cooking together and what I thrill that I could have a little hand in that :) Also so glad to know you have also enjoyed the cookbook!!

I just got a yearly subscription for your channel on Substack - I have been with you for over a decade and love the content! Happy to support, always.

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

💕💕💕Dear Beth, you have influenced my cooking more than anyone or anything else in any medium. Your recipes are tried and true and my meal rotation consists mainly from your videos on YouTube and from your beautiful cookbook. If I’m entertaining, I typically go to your videos and watch them to prepare before I start. Although I prefer using YouTube despite the ads, I will re-subscribe to you on Substack but I find it difficult to navigate to get there and I don’t know why it confuses me so much.

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

Ha! Oh I know what you mean! It can take some getting used to, navigating the platform, I’m hoping as Substack grows it will improve the user interface a bit more! :) I’m SO glad the recipes have been a hit and you turn to them often!

There’s no way I am going to let $7 a month separate me from your new content. Love you EWB!

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

LOL! Aww thanks Barbara! Means the world to me :)

Sorry to hear you are leaving but happy you are leaving your old videos. I especially love the holiday ones with your Dad. Best of luck to you!

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

Aww yes of course they will always remain there for everyone to enjoy! :) Those holiday ones with my Dad were my favorites too! :)

I love your recipes and videos but with skyrocking costs of everything, especially here in New York, I can only continue as a free subscriber, I wish you luck with your paid membership.

As long as the viedos of your past videos stay up on youtube I will have to just watch them.

We all have to make tough choices especially those of us on small fixed incomes.

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

Hi Susan, no worries at all, I totally get it! And yes all the videos will stay up on YouTube and you'll be seeing my seasonal favorites pop up in the free newsletter. I'm so glad you have enjoyed the recipes!

Susan E's avatar

I unfortunately don’t have the budget to become a paid Substack subscriber but will enjoy your newsletters and other content. I’ve enjoyed watching you for many years and have loved seeing your journey. I wish you all the best and will have a successful and financially rewarding life as you continue to create it.

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

Aww thank you Susan! I truly appreciate the support and your words of encouragement! :)

HI Beth, Thank you for being so open and sharing your heart with us about leaving you tube. I'm excited about this new transition. It's going to be great Beth!

It's good for people to know what it takes to create these videos and posts. While you love it so... it still takes valuable time, vision, planning, and execution to do all that is required to make it visible online or to share with friends. We appreciate your beautiful content, your pursuit of excellence and time it takes to create these posts. Love that you are AI free and 100% human made. New times, new adventures ahead! Sending you Big hugs!

P.S. It's ok to take a break now and then to get refreshed yourself. xo

Entertaining with Beth's avatar

Aww thanks Liz! You’re so sweet to say that :) And I just really appreciate your sweet words. It’s scary to make a big change like this! But truthfully, I really feel Substack will help me do an even better job! Not having to worry about SEO and Algorithms! It all feels like such a relief ha! xxoo

It's really brutal ha! But I think sometimes it has to get "that bad" or we would never think to do something different. So I'm excited to just hang up the shingle someplace else lol!
