Posted in General News, Sara
We’re so excited to finally share details about our upcoming book!  It’s being printed as we speak and will be debuting in stores this February!

You can pre-order the book right now and it will ship out hot off the press!

Here’s some details!

- Published by Deseret Book under their Shadow Mountain Label

- In addition to containing the most popular recipes from the Our Best Bites blog, the book features about 40 new recipes and variations that will stay exclusive to the book (like the Black Bean Mango Salsa seen in the picture below!)

We wanted the book to be modeled after the concept of our blog, which means that in addition to recipes, you also get tons of tips and mini tutorials.  For example, see how to easily pit a cherry on the same page as Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream.

Other great features include:

-A Rollover Ingredient list: which gives you ideas for what to make when you buy a unique ingredient and don’t use the whole thing in one recipe.

-Recipe Tags: to easily spot things like quick and easy meals, or things you can make ahead.

-Serving suggestions: references for accompanying dishes to make meal-planning easy!

We had SO much fun putting this project together and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!  We’ll be sharing more details and updates as the release approaches!

To Pre-Order, and to find a cute card you can print and use as a gift- click here

    ordering on amazon is that the best way to give it for christmas?

    Kate @ Our Best Bites says:

    makinzee–It won't be out by Christmas, but our friend Amy Locurto from Living Locurto has designed an ADORABLE card, so if you do buy it as a gift before it's released, you can print out the card. Amazon will ship it as soon as it's available.

    Hope that helps! :)

    OMG I cant freakin wait for this cookbook!!! This site is my go to recipe site, I don't know what I'm going to do when I've made everything haha. Seriously I used to look up recipes from all over the internet , but it was risky because a lot of the stuff did not turn out or just wasn't good, I have made TONs of things from your blog and EVERY SINGLE ONE of them has been AWESOME, I can really count on you girls!! Thanks and congrats on the book, you deserve it, it will be great and I am super excited!!! -Marie, making family meals in Wisconsin
