Some news! A big sale!! And, all my best holiday recipes, all in one place.

Hello, friends!
I hope you are having the loveliest pre-holiday, already starting to feed and feast with your beloveds.
I want to make an important resource available to all of you for this week and beyond: the all-things Edible Living Holiday Index—one-stop shopping for all my most festive, seasonal (fall-winter) recipes in one place. If this newsletter were a cookbook (and it is—just one you get week by week, instead of all at once), consider this the Holiday Table of Contents.
First, some news: In 2025, my subscription prices will increase to $55 a year and $6/ month. Raising prices is never fun, and it’s not something I do lightly. To keep this resource going for you, I need to cover the real costs behind every letter: groceries, time, photography, and my lovely assistant, Lucy, who helps me test recipes and create the beautiful PDFs and E-books that so many of you love.
Here’s the good news:
If you’re already an annual paid subscriber, or you become one by the end of this year, you will be locked in at the 2024 price ($45/year) forever, even if my subscription costs increase further.
To that end, I’m offering a 20% discount to everyone here to sign up for unlimited access today (that’s 20% off the current price—bringing the total down to $36/year). Add this to your black Friday shopping and take advantage of this sale by Dec 1 to lock in the best price for years to come.
A paid subscription also grants you access to the entire 160-plus recipe database from the last THREE YEARS here on Substack, even the ones you may have missed. Paid subscribers never have to hunt down your favorite Edible Living recipes—you can always find them here.
Now, to the index!
This is the spot you can come to if you can’t find the creamy potato mash you’ve come to rely on, want to pull up the cranberry ginger scones, or my most decadent double chocolate shortbread on the fly. It’s all here. There are a lot of gems—all the recipes my family leans on most heavily for the holidays and beyond!
Thank you for being here. Your contribution keeps the lights on and our creative fires burning. I hope this resource keeps you and your family in good meals and memories all year round.
Happy feasting!
xx
Sarah
Enormous thanks to all who choose to support my work with a paid subscription. This letter wouldn’t be possible without YOU!
