Vegetables Print from 20×200
Q: What did the lettuce say to the celery? A: Are you stalking me?
Okay, okay, all jokes aside, most of us know a vegetarian (or two). But have you ever considered vegetarians as a category for gifts? What kind of gift would you get a vegetarian anyway? You’ve come to the right place, I’m going to show you!
When brothers Mark and Michael Klebeck opened Top Pot Doughnuts nine years ago in Seattle’s Capitol Hill, they wanted a shop that sang a different tune than the fluorescent-lit fast food places popping up.
They opened their doors combining the charm of a vintage aesthetic and a gourmet spin on traditional coffee and doughnuts with everything from a tried-and-true glazed to lavender.
Now with five cafes in the area and a cult following, Top Pot shares their tricks, derived from a secret 1920s doughnut recipe, in their first book, Top Pot Hand-Forged Doughnuts.
A must-have gift for the home-baker. Just imagine, making mouthwatering doughnuts of all kinds in the comfort of your own kitchen, and oh my gosh what a treat for house-guests!
Hear from construction guys turned doughnut makers, Mark and Michael, about their new book in the video below. Through Friday get 35% off and free shipping at Chronicle Books with code: FRIENDS!

Two years ago brother and sister, Nate and Salli, were on a family vacation.
“Nate was trying to recreate a favorite dish—fettucine with figs in a balsamic butter sauce—while Salli sat at the counter with her watercolors painting the crate of figs.” They realized how fun it was to illustrate food, and an idea was born.
Nate and Salli wanted to make a book of drawn recipes.
After collecting illustrations from a few artist friends, there weren’t enough recipes for a book so they built a blog. Word got out fast and a year and a half later, They Draw & Cook is the largest collection of illustrated recipes anywhere, from artists all over the world.
As you can see, they were able to make that book after all. They Draw & Cook, the book, comes out two weeks from today, but you can order it now at the special pre-sale price of $12. A wonderful gift for creative cooks of all kinds and just in time for the feasts of fall.
I’ve picked some favorites from the book below. Each illustration links to the original so you can go see it bigger and discover similar recipes.
I’m torn between Mom Mom’s Peach Cake and the Garlic Mashed Potatoes—which to try first?!
