Scratch That is my debut cookbook filled with approachable, flavor-packed recipes that make cooking fun, not fussy. Whether you’re perfecting your go-to dinner or trying something totally new, this book has you covered with creative dishes and a sprinkle of my signature humor.
Hi, I’m Alix Traeger! I’m a food lover, creator, and author who’s passionate about making cooking approachable and fun. You may know me from my time at BuzzFeed Tasty, where I helped create some of the internet’s most viral recipe videos, but my love for food and storytelling goes far beyond the screen.
Now, I’m sharing my journey across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and Substack. With every recipe, video, and story, my goal is to inspire confidence in the kitchen and bring a little extra joy to your day. Because life is better when it’s shared over great food.
Cooking connects us all, one delicious bite at a time.
