The New OBB Cook Book, Available Now!

We’re SO excited to introduce you all to our
National Bestseller!
“Savoring the Seasons with Our Best Bites”

Isn’t she a beauty??

This book has even more never-before-seen recipes than our last book, and they will stay exclusive to the book.  Here’s a teeeeny tiny sampling.  Seriously, there are SO many great recipes in this book.

Kate and I spent the last year up to our necks in dirty dishes as we created, tested, and fine-tuned some amazing recipes.  And we have a fantastic artistic team who worked on the layout and design of this book.  We love all of the little features and attention to detail that really make it a one-of-a-kind book.  Take the often-overlooked inside cover, for example.  Cuteness.

And like our last book, this one has a removable book mark that snaps right into any page in the book, and it’s got a conversion chart on it!

The book is spiral-bound, but with a hard back cover and the pages are glossy and splash resistant.  There is a photo (and sometimes multiple photos) for every single recipe.

Kate and I love cooking all year long, and one of our favorite things is the change of the seasons and the food that reflects that.  We love cooking with things that are fresh and in-season, and that’s the whole purpose of this book.  It’s separated by seasons:

So you’ll find creamy roasted butternut squash pasta and maple-glazed cookies in autumn, peppermint ice cream and garlic-rosemary prime rib in the winter, creamy asparagus soup and sweet roasted carrots in the spring, and creamy ice pops and grilled meats in the summer.  Sprinkled throughout the book are mini-tutorials on crafts, holiday activities, and foodie gifts, and there’s even a whole section of cupcakes and frostings!

You can find our book at many book stores, but here are some of the major ones:

Questions & Reviews

  1. I love LOVE this book! My daughter and I have already made 4 or 5 recipes, all great. For conference sunday we wanted to make the ‘pastry wrapped breakfast sausages’ on page 8, but cannot find printed the temperature at which to bake them. We’re gonna guess 350 for now, but would love to know for sure. Thank you so much!

  2. We have a family camp out in the family room the night that we decorate the Christmas tree. It’s fun to hang out together and talk with the tree lights on.

  3. I have your first cook book and use it all the time. I can’t wait to try all the receipes in your next one!

  4. You mentioned favorite holiday treats in your email. We have Ableskiver every Christmas. I only make them once a year the kids love them. Awesome job on your cookbook. I’ll be keeping my eye on the bookstores.

  5. My favorite holiday is Easter, it is such a positive holiday and it is spring time as well! Can’t wait to see the new cookbook!

  6. I also LOVE your first cookbook and use it all the time! I can’t wait to get my hands on the new one!! 🙂

  7. We do not have any special holiday traditions but I enjoy baking at Christmas and sharing with friends and neighbors. I also love #146 Lois’s family tradition.

  8. Love everything about this cookbook. Really want to learn to make all that pretty food! Pick me pick me pick!!

  9. Your recipes always make my daughter and I so hungry – and often times we run out and get the ingredients to whatever recipe you’ve posted (if we don’t have them on hand, that is). This cookbook looks wonderful as was your other one – would love to have it!

    By the way, Amy, (post #79), we celebrate St. Nicholas in our house, too; my children are grown now, but they still want to have that special treat come December 7th morning! Some traditions are best not to outgrow! 🙂

  10. As our family grows, it gets harder each year for all of us to get-together; however, Christmas Eve is a special time for family/friends to gather and sing Christmas Carols, and enjoy Vegetable Beef Soup and/or Chili, vegetables/chips and with homemade dips, and rolls. Each family brings a dessert. Then we attend a Christmas Eve Service. I look forward to your new cookbook, and enjoy your site!

  11. I can’t wait to get your new cookbook – loved the first one so it is hard to imagine how you could improve.

  12. Traditions almost always are food related at our house…strawberry blintzes Christmas morning, chicken bisque soup New Years Eve, monkey bread/pull-a-parts New Years morning, fancy dinner for the kids on Valentines, etc. We are always looking for new and memorable recipes for other occasions and OBB never fails to be the cookbook my kids go to for inspiration (we seem to celebrate with buttermilk syrup on Sundays). So a cookbook separated into seasons seems to be the perfect way to build new traditions. Can’t wait to get my hands on one!!!

  13. We live away from our relatives so holiday gatherings are typically limited to ‘just us’ – my husband and four children. I struggled with how to make a holiday meal more special since we eat meals together as a family every night. It soon became apparent that serving appetizers in the livingroom was such a highlight of the holidays that that in itself has become THE tradition that my kids look forward to. Yeah, it’s the little things…

  14. One of my favorite holiday memories is of my sister and I spending a whole weekend making Christmas cookies together. We send family away, we plan our cookie choices weeks in advance. somewhere between 15 and 20 different kinds of cookies and candies. We shop and gather all of the supplies. Let me tell you thats a lot of sugar. And on the friday night we will try to get most of the dough that needs to chill in the fridge before going to bed. The next morning, bright and early we start. There is laughter and crying and a lot of “Do you remember when?” Unfortunately I have moved across the country and I now have to do it by ourselves and over the phone. but I LOVED it

  15. My favorite holiday tradition is Christmas morning breakfast. My kids all come to my house and we have stuffed french toast. Its my special time with just my kids and their spouses on Christmas.

  16. Christmas – we load everyone in the car and go look for Christmas – Christmas lights and hand out cookies to family and friends!

  17. My favorite tradition is to roast a prime rib roast on Christmas Eve. We invite friends and include a book exchange for the kids. And somehow I always manage to give gag gifts to the unsuspecting adults. Good times!

    I’d love to try the recipe in your new cookbook!

  18. I love any holiday which I spend with family. BUT my favorite selfish holiday is National Quilter’s Day. It’s usually the 3rd Saturday of March. It’s a day to quilt and not worry about housekeeping chores.
