Hello and welcome!

I’m Connie Veneracion. I cook, I take photos, I write recipes, cooking tips and food stories at Umami Days.

Arielle Veneracion draw and paints, and accepts customized hand-drawn portraits at Arielle Vee Art .

Together, we formed Umami Art Club, a snail mail service for lovers of recipes and art created by humans. I cook, test and write the recipes; Arielle does the artwork. No AI.

Snail mail? Yes, physical objects stuffed in an envelope and sent out via courier.

What physical objects? Every month, we send Umami Art Club members a themed set that includes:

  • a recipe card with full ingredients list and instructions;
  • a letter about the month’s theme;
  • a sticker sheet with images related to the recipe (if you’re into journaling, you’ll love these stickers);
  • a postcard of the finished dish (you can actually send it to a friend);
  • a word game highlighting the recipe (just for fun);
  • a pair of stationery paper that features the month’s theme and
  • a loyalty card which you can fill with stickers (that we will provide) for freebies and discounts.
