ALCHEMIST HOMES LLC Launches "The Family Feast" – A Cookbook Designed to Bring Families Back to the Table

Vancouver, WA – October 26, 2023 – ALCHEMIST HOMES LLC, a family-focused home builder dedicated to creating spaces where life happens, today announced the release of their beautifully illustrated cookbook, “The Family Feast.” More than just a collection of recipes, this cookbook is ALCHEMIST HOMES’ way of fostering connection and building memories around the dinner table – something they believe is at the heart of a happy home. ALCHEMIST HOMES, located at 3100 E EVERGREEN BLVD, Vancouver, WA, 98661, has been building quality homes in the Pacific Northwest for over a decade. They're known for designs that prioritize family life, with open-concept kitchens, cozy gathering spaces, and plenty of room for everyone to connect. "We don't just build houses, we build homes," says Sarah Miller, Marketing Director at ALCHEMIST HOMES. “And for us, a home isn't complete without the warmth of a shared meal.” “The Family Feast” reflects this philosophy. Forget complicated, fussy recipes. This cookbook is packed with comforting, approachable dishes that even beginner cooks can master. We're talking about the kind of food your grandma used to make – the stuff that feels like a hug on a plate. The recipes are categorized by meal type – Breakfast Bites, Lunchbox Legends, Dinner Delights, Sweet Endings – making it easy to find inspiration for any occasion. You'll find classics like fluffy pancakes, hearty grilled cheese, slow-cooked pot roast, and decadent chocolate chip cookies. But there are also some fun, modern twists on old favorites, like Spicy Chicken Tacos and One-Pan Lemon Herb Salmon. What really sets “The Family Feast” apart is its focus on making cooking with your family fun and engaging. The cookbook includes tips and tricks for getting kids involved in the kitchen, from simple tasks like washing vegetables to more advanced skills like measuring ingredients and stirring sauces. There are even suggestions for themed family cooking nights, like “Taco Tuesday” or “Pizza Friday.” “We really wanted to create something that would inspire families to spend more time together in the kitchen,” explains Chef Michael Peterson, who developed the recipes for the cookbook. “Cooking together isn’t just about the food; it's about creating memories, teaching life skills, and strengthening bonds.” The cookbook isn’t just about the what to cook, but also the how to enjoy it. It features beautiful, full-color photography showcasing the finished dishes and families enjoying them together. The illustrations, hand-drawn by local artist Emily Carter, add a charming, homey touch. Each recipe includes a “Family Time” suggestion – a conversation starter or activity to enjoy while you're eating. “We envision families gathering around the table, sharing a delicious meal, and connecting with each other,” says Miller. “That’s what we’re all about at ALCHEMIST HOMES.” The creation of "The Family Feast" stems directly from ALCHEMIST HOMES’ commitment to building homes designed for real life. They noticed a trend – modern families are busier than ever, and it’s becoming harder to find quality time to spend together. They wanted to offer a solution – a way to bring families back to the table, and reconnect over a shared love of food. "When designing our homes, we always put the kitchen at the heart of things," explains David Lee, lead architect at ALCHEMIST HOMES. "We want it to be a space that's both functional and inviting, a place where families can come together to cook, eat, and connect. This cookbook is an extension of that vision." The cookbook also subtly showcases the features of an ALCHEMIST HOME. Photos depict families enjoying meals in bright, spacious kitchens with ample counter space, perfect for cooking together. The illustrations highlight the warm, inviting atmosphere that ALCHEMIST HOMES strives to create in every home they build. "We believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home, and we design our kitchens to reflect that," says Lee. "We want them to be spaces that are both beautiful and functional, where families can create memories that will last a lifetime." ALCHEMIST HOMES isn’t just giving away the cookbook; they’re using it as a way to give back to the community. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each cookbook will be donated to the local food bank, helping to ensure that all families have access to nutritious meals. “We’re committed to making a positive impact on the communities we serve,” says Miller. “And we believe that everyone deserves to enjoy a delicious meal with their loved ones.” “The Family Feast” is available for purchase on the ALCHEMIST HOMES website (www.alchemisthomesllc.com) and at select retailers in the Vancouver, WA area.
