Honey & Jam: Seasonal Baking from My Kitchen in the Mountains

honey and jam

In a little under a month, my first cookbook will be on book shelves. Actual book shelves in actual bookstores. I can’t say how crazy that is to me. This book, filled with recipes created in my kitchen and photos taken on my little table by the window, will soon be in your hands.

Mostly, I feel thankful. Thankful that I got this opportunity. That I got to create recipes I love, and take pictures of the place I love, and now I get to share them with you. The book is a personal one, it's not only a baking book, but also a love letter to the southern Appalachians, the place that inspires me. We tried to include as many photos as possible, and I'm so happy with how it came together.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how this came to be - I want to go back to 2008 and pat my 18 year old self on the head and tell her it’ll be okay. That this little website you are creating will one day lead you to something you never thought you’d be able to do. 

I’m excited (and nervous!) to share this with you - I hope it brings a some goodness into your day and leaves you with a kitchen full of cake and a little taste of my home.

    Congratulations, Hannah! What a beautiful tribute to your mom, as well. I have prayed for you, and as a mom of a daughter about your age, I am extremely proud of you for having a vision and pushing through to bring it to fruition. I am a long-time admirer of your photography and look forward to holding your cookbook in my hands. Way to go!

    That is so exciting and encouraging, Hannah! You have such excellent food photography on your blog, and I'm sure the recipes are just as wonderful....evidently so for you to be featured in so many places and produced a cookbook!! I especially love the sub-title...."from my kitchen in the mountains." Congratulations on your new cookbook!

    Say hello to your mom.

    Hannah, I'm SO sorry!! I just scrolled down to your January post. I didn't know about your mom. I just remembered her commenting on my blog long ago. I am so sorry for your loss.

    Hello from Germany to you! Today I got your book from my husband! I love it! The doughnut cake is on his way to the oven. Is it OK with you, when I post the cake on my blog as well? I will link it to your site too. LOOK: http://elisabethvonpoelnitz.de
