Celebrate 9 Years of Relishments and Enter a Giveaway!

Published on December 26, 2017 By Emily. Updated on December 28, 2017

This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for supporting Relishments!

I am so excited to bring this giveaway to you all today.  This annual giveaway is an opportunity for me to say thank you to all of the awesome readers who have made this site possible for yet another year.  This time last year I was on blog maternity leave and I really appreciate those of you who stuck around while I adjusted to my new life as a mom.  It’s only in the last couple months that I felt like I really hit my stride with blogging again.

This year’s giveaway is, once again, a collection of a few of my favorite things.  If you read this site (or follow Relishments on social media) with any degree of regularity, you know I’m borderline obsessed with Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, all the recipes in Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day and all tea – but especially Harney and Sons.

How to Cook Everything Vegetarian was one of the first cookbooks I used when I started writing Relishments in 2008.  My copy of the book has notes throughout and my own “table of contents” inside the front cover that lists my favorite and most frequently made recipes (among them are waffles, pancakes, sea salt and olive oil bread, creamy polenta).

I actually gave away a copy of How to Cook Everything Vegetarian for my 3rd year celebration giveaway and wasn’t planning to do so again. But then Mark Bittman wrote and released the Completely Revised Tenth Anniversary Edition of How to Cook Everything Vegetarian and I knew I had to share with my readers.  I actually kind of wish I could keep it for myself.  This new book features new recipes, color photographs, more vegan recipes and a chapter on smoothies and teas. The edition I have is great, but this one is wonderfully updated and looks incredible.

If I had to choose a cookbook that’s most affected my cooking, eating and shopping in the last couple years, I would definitely pick Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day.  I haven’t bought a loaf of supermarket sandwich bread since 2013 and the recipes in the book make it so easy to have fresh bread on hand at all times.  Everyone (my 13-month-old daughter, extended family, work colleagues and church friends) I’ve made this bread for has been so impressed and can’t believe that it honestly just takes 5 minutes a day.

As is the case with How to Cook Everything Vegetarian, I’m also sharing a newer edition of this book.  The New Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day is an upgraded version of what’s on my shelf – more recipes, clearer instructions, bigger “Tips and Techniques” and “Ingredients” chapters, and a Frequently Asked Questions section.  It’s gorgeous.

Lastly, this year’s giveaway winner will get a tin of Harney and Sons’ newest blend, Victorian London Fog.  When this tea was announced late this summer (as part of their customer creation contest), I felt like Harney and Sons had designed it just for me; London Fog tea lattes are one of my favorite things.  This blend combines black tea, oolong tea, bergamot oil, lavender and vanilla flavor – it is so good.

Ready for me to stop talking and tell you how to enter? Gladly.

Use the Rafflecopter widget below to submit your entry.  I’ll select a winner on January 4, 2018.

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.
UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.
