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!

I LOVE your cookbook! And one of my favorite features is the Rollover items! BRILLIANT idea! Thanks for making life so much easier and yummier when it comes to meal time, and other food times!
Are the pages laminated? I'm very messy and spill things everywhere and I was just wondering if they pages wipe clean or if it;ll leave spots or what not….
I love your site and was very excited to learn that you will soon have a cookbook as well. Thank you so much for making me excited about cooking again.
I LOVE this BLOG!!!!!

I could not resist–I placed my order today. 🙂 Looking forward to getting it next month.
How cool is that!!?? So exciting and I absolutely love the sneak peek. Hardback, spiral bound, fun cover/inside cover, quirky additions like conversion chart/bookmark, with awesome recipes and pictures? Seriously, could a better cookbook be produced? Love at first sneak peek. <3
Congratulations- I can't wait to show off my famous friends cookbooks. Love you both and wishing you much success with your launch!! xoxo
Wow. What a wonderfully exciting experience! I can't wait to get my book and share it with you.
Over the last couple of years I have followed several cooking blogs, but yours is the only one I stick with. Consistently good, always friendly. AND…love that you take the time to respond in your comments. I've learned a lot there too!
Thank you!
Jess- yes, there's only one edition so they're all the same
Is the one on Amazon for pre-order the spiral bound edition? It does not say. ~Jess
I love your blog and recipes, and as a graphic designer, I had to get off my RSS reader and come here to say your book looks beautiful, and your designer did a wonderful job. ~Jess
Wow, wow, wow!!! I cannot imagine HOW EXCITED you guys much be! The book looks beautiful! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
Congrats!
Hooray! So I think it's going to pay off now how many people I've shared this blog with because one of them are bound to buy this book for my birthday in March(if I don't break down before then and buy one for myself).
Congrats! That is so exciting! I will be for sure buying my own copy! =)

Guess who just pre-ordered her very own brand spakin' new obb cook book thanks to the gift certificate my bro-in-law gave me for my bday?? I am so excited, it looks awesome. I bet you guys are on cloud 9. congrats on everything!
Those look great. I can't wait to get my preordered copy in the mail!
I was so happy to preorder my copy because my printer is getting tired from printing off so many of your recipes. 🙂 Thanks, ladies for giving me much needed motivation in the kitchen.
