What People Are Saying
“Thank you so so much for this! Plant-based and easy to use, I’m in love!”
“This is just brilliant. I have been an outspoken Notion hater forced to use it for work. Then… it clicked. I get it. I’m busy converting my life to a single dashboard page on Notion. I started making trackers and recipe databases and shopping lists… but yours is so brilliant. Since I’m pretty newish with Notion, I have to figure out how the flow fits together and sit with it for an hour or two. But, your templates are amazing.
Not only am I improving my kitchen flow, but all the nagging “how do I make Notion do this?” questions… studying your work is helping me see what’s going on under the hood better so I can up my Notion game. Thank you!!!!”

You built the exact template I wanted, and as a fellow coder getting to just tweak to personalize rather than having to build from the ground up just made my entire week.

“I just wanted to thank you so so so much for this. It’s only been a day but I feel so put together, and have planned our lunch & dinners for the next 7 days. This is the most put-together we’ve been for our meals. I feel so proud being able to look at our recipe “book” and getting a magical no-food-waste shopping list after we’ve planned our week.
This was crazy good. Thank you so much!”
“You should seriously charge for The Happy Kitchen. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to create my own version and I was getting so frustrated. THANK YOU!!”
“Dude… I would often buy notion templates without ever using them, so I stopped buying them, and instead if they’re free, I try them out. There has been no template that I have ever bought that I use more than the Happy Kitchen databases. You are a saint and need to start charging for this template or like teach a class or something. Holy shit. The databases alone are mindblowing to me.”
