You Can Now Pre-Order my Cookbook!
And download a free holiday brunch menu featuring a recipe from my book + 4 bonus recipes!
The day is finally here!
You can now officially pre-order my cookbook!
Holiday Gift Idea!
Pre-ordering also makes a fun holiday gift idea for any EWB Fan in your life! To make the gifting even more fun, we’ve created a cute gift card you can print out, wrap up, and give to your recipient!
Why Pre-Order?
Pre-ordering ensures you get a copy of the book as soon as it’s available in early June 2025!
Pre-orders are a big factor in the number of copies printed, how the book is marketed, and whether an author gets to write another book!
It affects how retailers price the book. If they see a demand for preorders, the price is usually lowered.
Preorders generate more buzz and allow more opportunities to book venues for a book tour, secure media opportunities, and make bestseller lists.
The Book Concept
This book is a compilation of the top 101 recipes I believe everyone should know how to make, from a classic Christmas Dinner to a casual brunch. These recipes are my go-to favorites that I turn to time and time again because they involve minimum effort but deliver maximum impact.
Let’s face it: entertaining can be stressful enough, so the recipes should not be hard!
This book will guide you through a year of seasonal entertaining, including drinks, appetizers, mains, sides, brunch dishes, and desserts.
A Basic Wardrobe of Recipes
The recipes in the book are also meant to be combined to create endless menus. I’ve included eight of my favorites in the back of the book, along with a “Game Plan” to help you manage the prep!
Why You’ll Love This Book:
There is a photo of every recipe!
Each recipe has a notes section for tips and tricks to help you achieve success!
Each recipe has a “Make-Ahead Game Plan” to identify things you can prep beforehand.
Each recipe has a “Pairs well With” section that leads to other recipes in the book that pair well with each other, helping you create menus.
Or leave the planning to me! The back of the book has eight seasonal menus, from Thanksgiving to Mother’s Day, designed using recipes from the book and complete with game plans to help you manage the prep.
I also include entertaining advice on how to keep your cool while entertaining, how to build a collection of plates, flatware, and serving pieces, how to deal with awkward situations that will arise, and lots of fun personal stories from my own parties!
The book also comes with a snazzy book ribbon to help mark your place! (One of my favorite little details!)
Let’s Cook the Cover!
In this week’s video, we are cooking the cover! I will show you how to make that delicious Ham, Leek, and Gruyere Cheese Strata on the cover. It’s a fantastic recipe for an upcoming holiday brunch or really any time of year!
A Heart Felt THANKS!
I want to express my gratitude to each and every one of you for following my channel for so many years, which has allowed me to reach this point of book publishing! Writing a cookbook has been my lifelong dream, and YOU made it happen!
As a special thanks, I’ve created a brunch menu with four bonus recipes not in the book. These recipes will help you round out the strata recipe and turn it into a full menu. The menu also includes a make-head game plan to help you manage the prep!
