The Action Cookbook Newsletter (ACBN) is a publication by writer Scott Hines, presented as “a tailgate in your inbox. ” Its invitation, “Come for the food, stay for the stories,” captures a mix of culinary subjects and engaging writing. Friday editions bring together food and drink themes, seasonal ideas, cocktails, music, books, and pets, alongside personal reflections, humor, interviews, and cultural commentary.

Published pieces range from discussions of regional foods such as Cincinnati chili to seasonal cooking, sandwiches, and summer drinks, while other stories explore everyday life, college football, music, and unusual topics. The newsletter also features short fiction and essays, giving readers more than a collection of food suggestions. Its website archive allows visitors to browse current and past issues, with some articles marked as locked.

Readers can sign up by email through the site, which is powered by Ghost. ACBN offers an informal, story-driven reading experience for people who enjoy food, lively observations, and a varied selection of cultural interests in their inbox
