Burnout arrived early this year! I had planned for it to show up during the Christmas holidays, but alas, it made an early appearance just the week before. Last night, in an effort to pause and reset, we headed to The Bull for a Pie & Pint (or a Botivo Spritz). For a couple of hours, we simply stopped—sitting by a roaring fire, soaking up the festive atmosphere. At the table next to us, three friends were exchanging Christmas gifts, and one of them unwrapped The Bold Bean Co | B Corp™ Cookbook. If you know, you know! Not only was it The Bold Bean Cookbook, but the thoughtful gift-giver had gone the extra mile (Amelia Christie-Miller you would have loved it!). She’d labeled her favorite recipes with little notes, explaining why each one was special. The quick-to-cook recipes were her personal favorites. I found myself engrossed, practically joining their table in spirit, as they spent a good 15 minutes chatting over the book. Even with my brain feeling burnt out, a spark of joy lit up inside me. I LOVE that we’re choosing to gift each other JOYFUL FOOD. This is the magic I want everyone to feel: the happiness, the shared passion for delicious meals, and the way food brings people together. It’s everything. Food connects us. It sparks conversations, stirs emotions, and deepens our relationships. So let’s give more foodie gifts this Christmas—they’re the absolute best! 🎁🍴✨

This is such a joyful post to read! We all need those fire moments especially now as we come hurtling to the Christmas Break! I just gave a huge talk in Liverpool around connection and the feedback about how we are all craving that basic touch. Happy cooking, happy holidays! 🎄 😋

It is definitely the season of depleted batteries 🪫! I’ve gifted my youngest sister the Bold Bean Cookbook this year and I’m fairly confident she will also love it! Our food choices connect us and I love it. I’ve a nice mental image of the cookbook appearing in lots of home this Christmas Day 🙂📚🎄
