A couple of weeks ago, I got a “Check This Out!” email from Grace with a link to the Short Stack Editions Kickstarter Campaign. Short Stack is a series of small-format, single-subject booklets about inspiring ingredients and recipes. Each booklet is a love letter from a celebrated food writer to his or her favorite ingredient. Inspired by mid-century recipe pamphlets, each book is full of illustrations (by creative director Rotem Raffe) and bound by hand with baker’s twine.So far, they’ve released three editions (Eggs, Strawberries and Tomatoes). Next month, just in time for Thanksgiving, they’ll release three more: Buttermilk, Grits and Sweet Potatoes. To whet our appetite, they’re sharing a recipe with us from the Sweet Potato edition.
Short Stack Editions is giving away one set of their lasted editions – Buttermilk, Grits and Sweet Potatoes. To enter, please leave a comment describing your favorite, unique cooking ingredient. The contest closes at midnight on Wednesday, November 11, 2013. -Amy
