Thank you for all the love this week on the pre-order launch of my cookbook “PRESERVING THE SEASONS” 🫐🌿🌺🍓🫑 If you haven’t already ordered your copy, you’ll find the link in my bio. More than just a cookbook, this beautiful guide to canned, jammed, frozen, dehydrated, freeze-dried, quick pickled, and infused produce, herbs and flowers, is a love letter to a lifestyle that embraces nature and creativity.🧚♀️ It covers easy ways to preserve and infuse your garden, grocery store, or farm stand goods as well as recipes using what you’ve preserved or created. It’s magical, I tell ya! While Preserving the Seasons is an ode to my three decades of playing house, it’s also the most significant part of my new beginnings. Almost 3 years ago, I lost my job without warning in an industry I’d been in for 27 years (my entire adult life). It threw me off course. I lost myself in the uncertainty of change. As fate would have it, a big time NY editor was finding joy in my colorful posts and would soon offer me an opportunity of a lifetime. Everything happens for a reason✨️ I was determined to show my kids that at any age we can pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and accomplish whatever we put our minds to. For 2 ½ years they watched me work so hard to create this book from scratch while trying to blaze a new path forward. During that time, they cheered me on and sacrificed without complaint. They’re proud of me and I’m so proud of them.💜 I cannot wait for the moment we are holding it in our hands. I also can’t wait to see all the infusions you create and pantries you stock using “Preserving The Seasons”. Gah, my heart wants to explode just thinking about it! The book comes out July 2025 and less than a month later, I turn 50! Gulp. I’m so excited (and slightly barfy) to see what happens next. Thanks for riding the wave with me. Have you pre-ordered your copy yet?
