ALCOTT HR Group Brings Comfort & Connection Home with New Cookbook Gift Sets
Farmingdale, NY – October 26, 2023 – ALCOTT HR Group LLC, a leading provider of human resources solutions based in Farmingdale, New York, is stepping outside the traditional HR box to launch a delightful new product line: beautifully curated cookbook gift sets. While known for helping companies build strong teams and navigate workplace challenges, ALCOTT HR is now aiming to foster connection and comfort in the home, believing that a happy home life contributes to a productive work life. “We spend so much time focused on employee well-being at work,” explains Sarah Chen, CEO of ALCOTT HR Group. “But we realized that overall wellbeing is holistic. A little comfort, a little joy, especially around something as fundamental as food, can make a huge difference. We wanted to offer something that truly connects people - and what connects people more than sharing a meal?” The company, located at 71 Executive Blvd Ste 1, Farmingdale, NY, 11735, and reachable at 503-331-1085, developed the cookbook gift sets as a way to expand their offerings beyond the business world. It’s a surprising move for an HR group, but one that feels natural to those who know the company’s values. “We’re all about building relationships, fostering community, and supporting people,” says David Lee, Head of Marketing at ALCOTT HR. “Those principles don’t just apply to the workplace. They apply to life.” What’s Inside the ALCOTT HR Cookbook Gift Sets? These aren't your grandma’s dusty old recipe books. ALCOTT HR has put a lot of thought into crafting sets that are both useful and beautiful. Currently, they’re offering three distinct options, catering to different tastes and skill levels: The “Weeknight Wonders” Set: This is perfect for busy families or anyone who wants delicious, home-cooked meals without spending hours in the kitchen. It includes a cookbook filled with 75 quick and easy recipes, focusing on fresh ingredients and simple techniques. Think 30-minute pastas, sheet pan dinners, and flavorful stir-fries. The set also features a high-quality wooden spoon and a set of measuring cups, all packaged in a stylish gift box. "We wanted something realistic," says Chen. "Let's be honest, most people don't have time to make a complicated soufflé every night. This is about making delicious food accessible." The “Baker’s Delight” Set: For those with a sweet tooth, this set is a dream come true. It boasts a cookbook overflowing with tempting desserts – from classic chocolate chip cookies and decadent brownies to elegant cakes and fruity pies. It also includes a silicone baking mat, a set of stainless steel cookie cutters in fun shapes, and a decorative spatula. “This one’s all about joy,” Lee explains. “Baking is therapeutic, and sharing something you’ve baked is a beautiful way to show someone you care.” The cookbook features step-by-step photos and clear instructions, making it perfect for bakers of all levels. The “Global Flavors” Set: For the adventurous foodie, this set takes you on a culinary journey around the world. The cookbook features authentic recipes from various cuisines, including Italian, Mexican, Thai, and Indian. It includes a spice blend kit with essential spices for each cuisine, a bamboo steamer basket, and a beautifully illustrated world map highlighting the featured dishes. “We wanted to encourage people to explore new cultures and flavors,” says Chen. “Food is such a powerful way to connect with different parts of the world.” This set is particularly popular with those who love to entertain and impress their guests. More Than Just Recipes: A Focus on Connection ALCOTT HR isn't just selling cookbooks; they’re selling experiences. They envision these gift sets being used to bring families together, to create lasting memories, and to strengthen relationships. “We’re hoping these sets will encourage people to spend more time in the kitchen, to cook together, and to share meals with their loved ones,” says Lee. “In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose touch. We believe that food has the power to bring people back together.” The company is also planning to launch a companion website and social media channels where customers can share their cooking creations, exchange recipes, and connect with other food lovers. They’re even considering hosting online cooking classes and workshops in the future. Why an HR Group is Selling Cookbooks? A Unique Approach to Wellbeing. The move into the culinary world might seem unusual for an HR firm, but ALCOTT HR believes it’s a natural extension of their core values. They argue that wellbeing isn’t just about physical and mental health; it’s also about creating a comfortable and supportive environment at home. “We’ve always been passionate about helping people thrive,” says Chen. “And we believe that starts with creating a happy and healthy home life. If you’re stressed and overwhelmed at home, it’s going to affect your performance at work. Conversely, if you’re relaxed and nourished at home, you’re going to be more productive and engaged at work.” ALCOTT HR hopes their cookbook gift sets will be a welcome addition to any home, bringing joy, connection, and delicious food to families and friends. They see it as a way to extend their commitment to wellbeing beyond the workplace and into the hearts and homes of their customers.
