So Kate and I both got big brown boxes in the mail yesterday
Big brown boxes filled with other boxes, filled with stacks of heavy things wrapped in brown paper.
I know, the suspense is killing you right? It’s our boooook!
We each got a shipment of advanced copies.
And we couldn’t be more excited!
So of course we had to share it with you!
We love the little details that have gone into this book- like the fun designs and graphics, even the inside of the covers are awesome:
As per our readers’ request, we went with a hard back book, but with a spiral inside, so it’s easy to flip through. The pages are nice and thick and glossy.
And check out this little extra, which we LOVE. It’s a cute removable bookmark with conversion measurements on it. You can pop it in and out of the spiral and use it to save your page!
And all of the pages are just so…fun!
There are even tutorials throughout the book to help you while you make the recipes
And we were thrilled with the number of full-page photos included
Kate’s brilliant idea of a rollover ingredient index is awesome. Got leftover cilantro? Look it up in the index and we’ll tell you what else you can make with it!
On each page you’ll also find tags so you can quickly find things that can be made ahead, or are vegetarian, or slow cooker, etc. We also give tips and serving suggestions to make putting the meal together a breeze!
And of course we sprinkled in some brand new recipes as well.
Not gonna lie, it’s pretty darn fun to see your name on the spine of a book!
We’re so excited about how it turned out. It’s seriously just fun to look at! So bright and cheery- there’s no way you’re not going to be excited about cooking once you take a look at it 🙂
If you missed the info about how to pre-order the book, click here. It should be in stores by the middle of next month!

Great start to 2011 for you guys. You are both so talented and down to earth and deserve every good thing that comes your way. I will be ordering a copy of your book. Thanks for being inspiring!
How Beautiful and fun!!! I cannot wait ot get my hands on one of these! I adore your blog, and now to have a book to thumb through and call mine, ahhh I am in heaven ladies! LOVE IT!
Congrats on your delightful book!
Oh, and I love the hard back, spiral bound…. Perfect choice!
Looks amazing! I LOVE the idea of the rollover ingredients. I always find myself buying an ingredient for a recipe and then having it go bad before I can find something else to use it in.
Okay! I pre-ordered a copy for me from Amazon, and now that I have seen it, my daughter is getting one too. After all, she is the one who turned me on to your blog. Congratulations!
Congrats! Can't wait to see it on store shelves! I had this amazing lemon cake the other day. When I try recipes they come out more like "lemon bread" than a cake. You know, the moist lemon cake taste with some sort of crumb on top? I am drooling right now! Anyway, maybe something to think about…if you get bored and happen to think up a recipe to share:)
love the spiral binding, it should be required for cookbooks. it looks so inviting, can't wait to buy it! congratulations girls, that is so great for you!
I can't wait for my copy that I pre-ordered!!!
I know your cookbook is going to be awesome since your blog is awesome! Can't wait to check it out!!
