Amelia Saltsman is one of our all-time, most beloved cookbook writers. Her tome, The Seasonal Jewish Kitchen, has become a Narrative Food favorite over the years. Amelia and her beautiful cookbook are the inspiration for our upcoming Supper Kits, Narrative Provisions boxes (they’re back!), Pantry Provisions bundle and more!
When we read Amelia’s recipes, we feel as if we are side by side with her perusing fruits and vegetables, taking in her knowledge of the Southern California seasons, climate and food cycles.
Landing on doorsteps October 16th & 17th
Order Deadline 5p. Monday, October 11th
Classic Narrative Provisions Box Update: As in the past our boxes are inspired by the theme of the week — with ingredients and recipes based on the featured cookbook, culinary creative, or holiday. Recipe inspiration is included, but unlike our prior boxes we will provide creative suggestions rather than a full 5-meal menu with all recipes and ingredients included. Please expect 2-4 recipes using the ingredients in your box along with some basic pantry items you have to hand like Olive Oil, spices etc. Scroll down for details!
