Class giveaways and holiday gifts

Plus 80% off all classes for paid subscribers

Earlier this week, I shared a gift guide with you with some ideas for food-focused gifts that aren’t necessarily food.

After writing it, I wanted to do more: I wanted to share something that reflects appreciation for subscribers in a way that’s meaningful and fun. And, hopefully sparks more conversations between us here and elsewhere about food, place, history, and fermentation.

So with that in mind, here’s what I came up with: a short and sweet list of things I am giving to you, dear newsletter subscribers, this holiday season.
Some of these I mentioned in my gift guide, but some are new, so keep reading even if you read that guide a few days ago.

And, like I said in my gift guide, I’m happy to make recommendations to help you find the perfect gift (whether or not that recommendation is for one of my classes, though I highly recommend those!)

Class giveaways

I’ve decided to offer three of these, just for newsletter subscribers (paid or free):

• All class purchases enter you in a drawing for free entry to Finding your Food Story.
  This is in addition to the other giveaway I already have going, for 2-for-1 entry to the class (in other words, buying the workshop means you, or a friend, could attend as well). So technically there are four giveaways.
  

• AND, all class purchases also enter you into a second giveaway: a free class (or reading) of your choice. Anything in the course catalog that strikes your fancy.
  I’m giving away two of these!

I’ll be choosing and contacting winners after the new year!

Other gifts for newsletter subscribers:

• All subscribers get 50% off everything with the code GIFT.
  This includes the Culinary Curiosity School’s entire course catalog
  Sales during this season help support writers and small business owners significantly through the coming months, so if you’re looking for a Black Friday deal, start with your smaller businesses (again, happy to make recommendations!)

• All subscribers also get 50% off all writing and creative coaching, and self-study courses, through Roots and Branches. Just use the code SOLSTICE.

• Paid subscribers get 80% off everything in the Culinary Curiosity School catalog AND 80% off everything from Roots and Branches, too.
  If you’re a paid subscriber, you’ll see your discount code at the end of this email!

• $30 mini-readings just for newsletter subscribers who book by December 10th
  Get one for you, one for a friend, or whomever. They’re a great, fun way to find some clarity during the holiday season. Visit my gift guide for details on how to book.

• Paid newsletter subscriptions are 30% off. If you’ve been wanting to join, this is a great chance. I’ll be raising the price next year as I bring in some more experiences to the mix, like book clubs, virtual potlucks around unexpected themes, and occasional free classes.

There are books, of course, too: my latest, The Fermentation Oracle, is 20% off with the discount code ORACLE if you order from Hachette.

And, like I said in my gift guide, signed copies of Our Fermented Lives are available from Charis Books & More in Decatur, GA (they ship!)

Thank you for another wonderful year of supporting my work, for enlightening and fun conversations in the comments and all the other places we interact, whether on social media or in person at a conference.

It’s such a joy to write for you, and I’m very grateful for each of you and your presence here.

Have a wonderful holiday season!

P.S. In our coming newsletters, I’ve got a few fun things coming up, including how I choose fermentation containers, and the story of bog butter (and my obsession with bog butter). Stay tuned!
