Things are about to get crazy around these parts! It’s hard to believe that the near 18 month journey is about to culminate in the release of my first cookbook. I’ve seen the finished product and it is absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t be happier with it. Honestly. The photography (from by my dear friend Kim Box) is unbelievable. The hand lettered cover (by the team at Juice Box Designs) is amazing. And I hope that you find the recipes inside just as tasty as the book is beautiful. I put so much of myself in this book and I just can’t wait to share it with y’all. It’s a bit scary, too. I know there will be criticism – we all can’t see things the exact same way. And I know there will be those negative reviews out there. But sharing my food with the world is my dream and all of this “stuff” is just part of it. And none of this would have been possible without the absolutely amazing folks at Thomas Nelson and Nelson Books. I never could have imagined a better group of folks to work with. What started as a business relationship has ended in friendship. Who could ask for more than that?
