Dear Bryce,
I know you’re probably very busy being the Shop Editor & Stylist at Provisions for the very fabulous Food 52. It’s a seriously beautiful site – so please know your styling is much appreciated!
And, I know Provisions only launched in July.

And, I also know your wonderful Kitchen Letters – where recipients receive letters in the mail from chefs only really kicked off in May of this year.
I think this is just the best idea. I have a number of foodie friends who would just love a gift like this. How ever did you think of it?

And, now your Custom Recipe Print concept has popped up in my in-box. How wonderful are they?
Just the thought of taking a favourite recipe and having it designed, printed, and shipped to a friend’s door, so they can hang it in their kitchen makes me smile. It’s such a personal gift.

There’s just one teensy-weensy catch. I live in Australia. And, you don’t ship outside the United States. And, nor does Provisions, for that matter. (sniff). So, that means I can’t acquire any of your fab’ offerings this Christmas.
Do you realise the potential market you are missing out on down here?
And, I know you are obsessed with all things food, travel, and style, and living a great life (because you told me so on your website). Did you know we have some seriously cool and cosmopolitan chefs down here. I’d be happy to write you a list of say, my top 10… Or, even my top 20 – if only you would start shipping down under. Please?
In much anticipation,
TSL xx
I don’t understand the only ships to the US thing, what’s the logic. You’re posting something, maybe you have to fill out an extra form. Is it that hard ?

I suspect the fact that it is a relatively new business may have something to do with it. 🙂

I think I would find it hard to choose a recipe…. but that aside they seem to keep shipping those damn Kardashian’s down under can we not take a trade and have these instead!!! 😉

Oh my. What a lovely post. Thank you so much for all of your kind words, and just so you know, I’ve spent the last hour researching shipping to Australia! I know for sure I can ship the letters no problem. I’ll amend those right now. Working on the posters… oh and I’d love to feature some chefs on your list. Do please let me know! Thank you again, you made my entire week (month even).

I love these ideas! Glad, for once, that this is something I can get in the US… If you want anything, I guess you’ll just have to come visit me!

If I visit, I won’t bring any red textures… Promise!

Love the custom recipe print, what a bummer about not shipping to Oz. You find the coolest of things TSL!
