Dear friends:

We're delighted to bring you the Lil AVCX debut of roster member Carina da Rosa, an 11x11 puzzle titled "Kitchen Confidential." We'll let you in on a secret; we think you'll find this to be an enjoyable, breezy solve.

Carina da Rosa (she/her) hails from Toronto but is about to move to Italy (tough life, she knows). She's a freelance writer, editor, and a newbie crossword constructor. And when she's not procrastinating on finishing her novel, she's designing knitwear and filling her Google search history with, "Lead me, O Wise One, to the best and nearest carrot cake."

Carina says: "Yay for debuts! Thanks to Sally and the team for helping me polish this wee baby puzz. Let it be known that I don't condone gossiping—also let it be known that I'm a great secret keeper. Did I ever tell you about…"

Solve this puzzle online! (AVCX login credentials required)

Headed to your inbox tomorrow: a midi from a guest constructor.

Happy puzzling!

Your friends at Lil AVCX
