Big News from Emma Frisch!
Announcing my new book Seasonal Family Almanac, with co-author Jana Blankenship, is now available for pre-order
Dear friends,
I’m thrilled to announce the pre-order of my new book, Seasonal Family Almanac: Recipes, Rituals, and Crafts to Embrace the Magic of the Year, co-authored with my dear friend Jana Blankenship.
In 2021, Jana and I dreamt of a book that would combine our knowledge and practices for using seasonal ingredients in cooking, care, and crafts, alongside the traditions we’d learned from family and community members. We were especially motivated because as mothers with young children, we found more ease and meaning in our family lives when we could let the Earth's rhythms guide our activities and make time to celebrate each season's gifts.
Our resulting labor of love, Seasonal Family Almanac is an accessible, comprehensive, hands-on guide that gives families everywhere the tools they need to rediscover the magic and joy that comes from living in tune with the seasons. With over 100 stunning photographs, you’ll discover:
Over 40 delicious food and beverage recipes from around the world: Soothing White Pine Tea, Chinese Lunar New Year Dumplings, Blueberry Lavender Crisp Bars, and more.
Over 30 personal care and wellness recipes: Violet and Dandelion Face Steam, a complete Newborn Care Kit, Clearing Chest Rub, Forest Bathing Salts, and more.
25 family crafts and activities: Beautiful and easy twisted rope flower crowns, beginner-friendly botanically dyed capes, shadow puppets, and more.
18 essays from contributors: From celebrating seasonal holidays, to the use of seasonal ingredients in personal care items, and more.
Take a sneak peek inside the book and pre-order your copy at seasonalfamilyalmanac.com or here:

It’s been an honor and a privilege to birth this book with Jana, alongside an incredible community of people featured in the book and behind the scenes. Special thanks to our photographer, Allison Usavage, and creative stylist, Lena Masur.
We would be so grateful if you could forward this email to anyone who might be interested. The book hits shelves April 18th, but preorders are critical to its success!
Thank you for your love and support on this wild and exciting journey! I hope this book becomes a well-loved, dog-eared resource that your family turns to season after season.
With love,
Emma
