Looks a little different around here, doesn’t it? Welcome to the new Thyme Bombe, everyone!
I know I’ve been gone for a while, but it’s because I’ve been working on some things behind the scenes for the last few months that are just now ready to come to light – the first of which you’re seeing now. This isn’t just a facelift though, there are some other changes happening to this site that I hope you’ll be just as excited about as I am.
Firstly, from here on I’ll be focusing mostly on recipe creation. Not every post will be a recipe, but all posts will be very focused on food and less focused on personal stories and day-to-day life. I want to continue sharing my personal goings-on with all of you, but from now on those things will be shared when they are relevant to the food I’m sharing too.
Next, I want to start providing you with more informative, quality content. No more pictures of some random dinner I threw together last night. I want to delve into the history of different foods, the origin of exotic ingredients, and how these things can fit into your life and your own style of cooking.
And finally, I want to present all of this to you with stunning photos of beautiful food. I have learned a lot about photography in the last year, and while I have a long way to go before I feel like I really have a grip on it, I am definitely a stronger photographer now than I was at this blog’s beginning. From now on, dimly lit photos snapped without much thought or care simply won’t make the cut.
I imagine it’ll take some time before I figure out exactly what belongs on this blog and what doesn’t, so I hope you’ll be patient with me as I work through it, but hopefully what you’ll see in the coming months is a movement toward a better blog with more interesting and beautiful content. I really think you’re gonna like it.
And stay tuned in the following days for another big announcement that has been over a year in the making! If you’ve been reading that long, you may be able to guess what it is…
I’ve been wondering where you went! Good to have you back.

Thanks! You guessed right, I’ll be announcing the cookbook in a couple of days with links for where to get it. I’m thinking about doing a book release party sometime in february too, so all you Atlanta folk can come hang out at my house and eat food from the book while sipping wine and fending off my cats.
Love the new look and can’t wait to keep up with your cooking adventures again. Now that we cook every night of the week, we will have to start trying some of your recipes.
Alayna! The new look is stunning! I’ve been wondering where you’ve been, but thought you were likely powering ahead with the book and other career plans. Can’t wait to hear more!
Your pictures are beautiful and this looks amazing!
Thanks Kat! I’m really proud of this. Starting the next one soon!
OOOH, updates! Many of them! And I’ve missed them all! Looks like I have some catching up to do (I was reading the Buckhead Village section of the latest Martha Stewart and thought, I wonder what Alayna’s up to these days)….
Love the new layout and lovely photos!
