Hi, It’s Anna of Amalgam Kitchen and I want to welcome you back. I have not posted a recipe since April 2 of this year and I have missed you. In the meanwhile I decided to revamp my website. I worked with a really cool woman named Jody Chapman, who has a creative consulting agency here in Ojai called Niche Design Consulting and together we re-envisioned Amalgam Kitchen.

I wanted to bring you more more recipes and content including fashion, lifestyle, dietary, beauty care, health and wellness and kitchen tips and inspiration as well as a newsletter offering exclusive recipes, special discounts with my favorite brands and giveaways. And so much more. My intention is to share what is special and meaningful to me, with you, with love, care and communion. I hope it resonates with you and I hope you share what you find here with your community. The Fall is a special time, the changing of the seasons, the shortening of the days, even here in Southern California, the leaves on the trees begin to transform their color from green to reds and oranges. The melons, berries and stone fruit of the summer are gone and the winter squashes and fall fruits such as pears and persimmons make their way into our kitchens and onto our tables. It can be a time to go inward and reflect as we prepare for the holiday season. A time to connect with ourselves and as well as strengthen the ties of our community. I am so excited to share the new look of the website with you. You are a part of my community. It’s my birthday today, and it was really important for me to share my relaunch with you today. I hope you enjoy it. Be sure to sign up for the quarterly newsletter.

Everyone this first week will have an early one week discount on one of my favorite California designers Pietsie’s website. After this week the discount opens up to everyone else.

Let our community grow through Amalgam Kitchen!

- Anna
