Dear Reader,

Come home to real food

Thank you for reading this. I’m writing this from my home office on 10 Jan ’25. The snow is on the mountains here in the beautiful English Lake District. I am the creator of The Golden Polar Bear and my name is Julia Savory.

I want you to know that I value your attention. Just because you are reading this doesn’t mean you want your attention interrupted with pop-ups (the cookie thing is enough of a distraction). Just because you might have graciously signed up for The Magic Spoon (newsletter), doesn’t mean I’m going to tell you about everything else that’s going on here at Polar HQ.

I believe I need to EARN your attention. If I earn your attention, I hope to also earn your respect.

I promise to deliver solely what you sign up for. I won’t steal your attention for the thing you signed up for, and use it for something you didn’t sign up for. Behind the scenes, if you sign up for the newsletter, your email address will be confirmed via a double opt-in process and then your name will be put into the database and tagged with the name of the newsletter (so I know what you want). You will receive the newsletter. You won’t receive anything else. That is my promise. I will do this to the best of my ability and with the best of intentions. And of course, GDPR is woven into the fabric of this Golden Polar Bear story…

I understand that my organisation might well grow at a slower rate, but I believe it will attract good things because it behaves in a good way.

With very best wishes,

Julia Savory and Georgia The Wonder Dog

A calm kitchen. Real support. Your own rhythm.
