Marmalades…A Cookbook Giveaway
Radio silence once again. If you know me, you also know that this is not my usual thing to be this quiet. Lots and lots happening again. Generally, I would never come up with reasons why I did let something get a bit more silent (this page) but this time, tonight, there are plentiful and I am letting them all be.
The last five months have turned into a blurr. Many destinations. Workshops. Two cookbooks shoots. Fifty recipes for other clients. A job proposal. An acceptance. A house hunt. A bare bone move (seriously moved with three boxes labeled kitchen, clothes, toiletries and office. Oh and some props, linens, reflectors and strobes…)** And my first day working with amazing talent propping and styling the recipes I will be shooting.
A wave of emotions is taking hold of me as I reflect on the years gone by. I am sitting in an empty living room. It’s an unsually chilly day for Birmingham, I am told. I have a fire going. Some hot soup on the stove. A glass of wine. This is it. What comes to my mind, very clearly, though is how I would have never imagined the winding roads of this career would take me to this moment.
Yet, how everything I did in my work was never by chance but always from a place of hard work and desire of a job well done. How goodness comes to one’s own heart by just trusting yourself onto others. How just opening up your guts and heart to the universe gives you ten times the hopes you sent out there. How leading lights of desires, friendships, mentors and aspirations, inspirations lead one to just pack up and go seek a better life for the ones you love.
I am not alone. Bill has been the best team mate of all. He fully let me take hold of the direction of this team of two we created 14 years ago. That’s big. And then there is the team at work. Mindblowingly creative. I feel completely supported to bring myself into team project. A place where individual growth will happen as I work on many different collaborative projects.
Good people working on fun projects always make for a fun day at work. That is one if the reasons I wanted to share this book I photographed a few months ago, Marmalades by Elizabeth Fields (Running Press). It just came out and while I take a little time getting situated in my new life, I wanted to share with you some good old fashioned and modern marmalades recipes by giving away a couple of copies of the book, courtesy of Running Press.
All you have to do to participate is to leave a comment on this post. Two winners will be picked at random this Sunday October 14th, midnight central time. The giveaway is open to all, one comment per person, (no anonymous comments please).
Good luck!
** some of you seem to think I permanently moved with three boxes. No! That’s all I could bring to Birmingham before flying out of the country for a shoot and coming back directly to Birmingham. I have not been home to Charleston to get my stuff since mid September. If I had the luxury of time and space, you bet I would have taken a couple more….!

I feel like I need some good instruction when it comes to marmalades.I can never seem to find my groove which means I always have a few jars that don't make the holiday gift cut. Eeek.
kelli October 9, 2012 um 2:24 pm
i've tried marmalade once and it didn't go over so well with me, but i want to try it out again just to make sure it wasn't just the brand or how it was made. this would be perfect 🙂

Ron October 9, 2012 um 2:25 pm
Earliest memory of marmalade. It's dark outside. Sleeping in the top of a "Devon Conversion" VW BUS camper. A gentle knock on the door and little bag left by the driver side wheel. Inside, made fresh that day from a local bakery, fresh rolls and a hearty marmalade. The memory may be nearly 40 years old, but I can still remember the taste of that marmalade.
JMFaus October 9, 2012 um 2:29 pm
Gorgeous photos! Love me some marmalade, but have never made it myself! Thanks 🙂

Julia October 9, 2012 um 3:03 pm
Hi,
2011 was the year of marmalade, marmalade, and more marmalade. 2011 was probably the year of marmalade burnout since I made almost no marmalade this year. I would like 2013 to be the year of healthy marmalade integration into my preserving. Always glad to get new recipes.

Val October 9, 2012 um 3:11 pm

Ahh, just in the process of packing up and moving myself. I hate it, lol. It's always bittersweet, these endings and beginnings. Plus, moving itself is SO stressful… I hope that you have some time to relax and take care of yourself.
I wouldn't mind packing up one of those lovely marmalade books. 😉

I'd love to see if I could ever replicate that experience.

Liz October 9, 2012 um 7:14 pm
While you move on Helene, to pastures new (well done and wishes true!), your mention of marmalade takes me 40 years back to childhood. New Year, my dad would spend a week cooking up the Sevilles. At 83, he still does! Now, he's joined by me, across oceans in the Med, where my Sevilles are gifted over the garden wall from Maltese neighbours who don't know what to do with the bitter, Arab legacy oranges! Looking back, anchored somewhere solid, is how we best move on in life I feel. Love a copy!
Nicole October 9, 2012 um 7:25 pm

Isa October 9, 2012 um 9:12 pm
Your words struck a chord with me: "How just opening up your guts and heart to the universe gives you ten times the hopes you sent out there." I needed that. I sat there, took a deep breath and re-read it a few times. Thanks for helping me let go of the frenzy and refocus on gratitude for a life full and fulfilling. Your compass is set is the right direction and all your life changes will certainly be for the best!
Amethyst October 9, 2012 um 9:15 pm

Helene, I love your photographs (and would love the book, too!). I wish I could arrange my food like you do. I wish I could take photos 1/10 as amazing as yours. But, alas, I can't. On the other hand, if I could, I probably wouldn't spend so much time with my doggie – training obedience, agility, tracking…

I met Elizabeth a few weeks ago (and it turns out, we knew each other from way back!) and she showed me the book. I was so excited to see your photos. The book is a small treasure and the photos inspire you to MAKE the marmalade. It is truly a little gem that needs to be in any cookbook collection, and if you are a marmalade lover (me!) then it is really a must-have.
Congratulations on all your changes. You are such a hard worker (it shows in all that you do.) I wish you all happiness in your new home! Thanks for sharing your beauty with the world 🙂

Congratulations on another wonderful book. You're a woman of many talents. I think what I love most about blogging is getting to know others through their blog and watching them flourish.
When I first started reading your blog years ago I added your blog to the top of my favorites bar on my PC so I could get to it quickly. Between your incredible recipes and photos I was so inspired. Now you've become a well known food photographer. I've loved hearing you talk about and create your own book and now helping others with theirs. It gives me and I'm sure others out there inspiration to know that if we all follow our passion good things can happen.
Congrats and I wish you many years of success and happiness. Marmalade looks stunning!

Your approach to food photography is so unique that even though there are foods that I’m not very fond to, when I see them in your pictures they look inviting and tempting! By the way the book looks very interesting; I was really surprised to see the membrillo which leads me to think that the book has traditional marmalades but definitively includes famous marmalades from around the world!

I never really loved marmalades (i believed they were chocolate's worst enemy) until i recently had in my hands a ton of vegetables from my garden to preserve somehow. So I decided to give it a try… I got totally addicted not only to making marmalade but also to eating it too. Oh so many years i've wasted…

I'm so glad your finding your new job rewarding already. There are some wonderful people in my hometown of Birmingham. And some great food to photograph! I will be looking for photo credits in my Southern Living magazines… I bet I'll know your photos before I see the credits. And I'm a little jealous of your three-box move. I just moved to Seattle, and am still unpacking. The nice part is that I have a plum tree in my new yard and now I can make plum jam!
Vee October 10, 2012 um 2:53 pm
I would love to learn how to make marmalade, jams and jellies. It just seems so classically southern.

Enjoy your photos and journal of "life" would love a copy of the cookbook for my 93 year old father who makes marmelade every year at least two times. Best to you! Virginia

… dalla mia casetta nel bosco, un bosco in Italia oggi pieno di kaki quasi maturi sull'albero… mai fatto una marnellata in vita mia, ma è il mio sogno, le adoro e vorrei provare a cuocerne una tutta mia… chissà che con un libro con istruzioni che mi aiutano…
grazie, e che immagini meravigliose, mi sorride il cuore! Elena

One of my most favorite times of year is making jams & chutney from the summer bounty! At the holidays friends and family look forward to my peach marmalade and my brinjal chutney (eggplant). I am always on the look-out for new flavors and combinations and can't wait to find your book to add to my collection! Congratulations on such a wonderful accomplishment! Getting published is an awesome feat.

"Imagine" I imagine beautifull cherries, apricots on the trees, a so nice kithchen to do marmelade. I dream of "orange sanguines" , "kiwis"… which will become sweet marmelade for " a french petit déjeuner avec une baguette" (french breakfast with baguette). Congratulations to allow us to dream with so nice pictures.

What wonderful idea for a book. I would love to be able to make some this yumminess with my little family!

Congrats on the new adventure. The photos are lovely. When I was younger, I never looked twice at marmalade. But on a trip to London, I had toast with orange marmalade with my tea every morning, and fell in love. I've only tried them once or twice, even though I do a lot of regular jams, but would like to concentrate on marmalades this winter and expand my repertoire. This book looks so fabulous!

marmalade is the best on buttered bread with a cup of tea – would love to learn how to make it!
Karlijn October 12, 2012 um 9:21 pm
Beautiful pictures, I really hope I win a copy of this wonderful book! I love making everything from scratch, like sauces or peanut butter or jams and marmalades, so this book would be the perfect company in my kitchen.

Marmalade! I love it!
Sarah October 12, 2012 um 9:37 pm
I was just in Birmingham visiting family! (I grew up near there and went to high school in Birmingham.) Looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful things you cook with Alabama fruits and veggies–our peach season is the best in the world!
p.s. I have this idea that you and Caitlin from Roost are going to become best friends and write a cookbook together 🙂
