Maybe you’ve noticed that things have been a little bit quieter around here recently. I haven’t been sharing quite as many new recipes or new videos as usual.
But I promise, there’s been a very good reason for that…
After over a decade of exclusively sharing my recipes online, I am SO, incredibly excited to announce my very first cookbook…. drumroll please….
Filled with favorites from the website and a few exclusive brand new recipes sprinkled in as well, this hardcover cookbook is now available for preorder and I plan to be able to begin shipping in early December of this year! Ahh!
You can PREORDER IT HERE NOW!
So What’s Inside?
This book includes lots of my favorite recipes and best tips for successful baking. It’s divided into 7 chapters:
- Cookies
- Bars & Brownies
- Cakes & Cupcakes
- Frostings & Fillings
- Pies, Cheesecakes, & Fruit Desserts
- Quick Breads, Muffins, & More
- Yeast Breads
- Every recipe includes at least one full-cover photograph.
- Every recipe includes a QR-code to a full-length video tutorial where I show you exactly how I make the recipe in my own kitchen.
- Book includes 80 recipes, mostly long-time reader favorites along with 10 exclusive recipes never before published on the website.
- Cup and weight measurements (as always!)
This is a hardcover, physical cookbook approximately 8.5×10.5 inches (around 215 pages), and you can preorder it here!
Why Pre-order?
This cookbook is being independently published, which means I have to decide, well, now, how many copies to print. I am printing a limited first run based largely on preorder demand. If this printing sells out, I can’t promise when, or if, I’ll be able to restock, so if you like a copy, I definitely recommend preordering!
All preorders will receive free shipping within the United States. At this time I am only able to take orders within the United States (though I do hope to be able to ship outside of the US soon!).
✨I will also be signing the first 500 pre-orders (sold out in 24 hours!).✨
A little behind-the-scenes…
Even though I have been posting recipes and videos much less on the blog and YouTube, I’ve been working more than ever behind the scenes.
The exclusive new recipes needed testing and re-testing (and re-re-testing…) plus photographs (see above). And, since I wanted every recipe to have a video tutorial, this meant filming some old recipes that never had videos to begin with and filming the brand new recipes as well.
All while polishing the manuscript and making sure everything was meeting deadlines to have books in hand before Christmas. Typing that out doesn’t feel like as much work as it actually was. There have been many last-minute grocery store runs and late nights.
The most important thing…
Thank you! From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you to every one of you who has tried and trusted my recipes over the past decade (and beyond!). Writing this cookbook has been a dream of mine for years and I can’t believe it’s actually, finally happening.
I’m so grateful to you, to every one of you who sent me emails, messages, or comments encouraging me to write this exact cookbook. This book would not exist without you. Seriously. 💕

Sam:
I discovered you in 2020 during the pandemic, when I was newly retired and relocated from my native Baltimore to Delaware. I’ve long been a cookie baker, but using your recipes, I started to bake my cakes from scratch and we and our neighbors thank you!! I also make a lot of your soups and other recipes – not a one has ever been less than delicious. So a big thank you for that.
I wanted to congratulate you for publishing your very first cookbook, which I bought because it sounds great and as a thank you for all the good recipes! It’s a good sign that the signed copies have sold out, so it sounds like sales are good. Congratulations for that too!!
Thank you so much for your support, Lynn! I’m so happy to hear that you’ve been enjoying everything so much. I hope you love the book! 🙂
I’m so happy for you Sam you deserve it. I’m excited for your new book. But I think I will have to wait. I’m from Canada Toronto. When you start shipping out here I will be the first to buy it. I started looking for chocolate chip cookies few years back before Covid. I wanted to make the perfect chocolate chip cookies for my grandchildren and I saw your recipe and your videos. Wow there are no words to describe how amazing you are and your perfect recipes. I don’t try any one else recipe just your. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes. Congratulations to your new chapter.
Thank you so much for your support, Soumela! I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed everything so much! 🙂
Omg this is so exciting! Sam I’ve been an avid follower of yours for 2 years now. It all started with me stumbling upon your amazing chilli recipe! Since then you’ve inspired me to become quite the home chef and baker! Anytime I try a new recipe the first thing my mom’s asks me “is this Sam’s recipe?!” Thank you for all the hard work and I cant wait to for the new book in December, best Christmas gift ever!
Thank you so much for trusting my recipes, Ryan! I am so happy to have you here. I hope you love the book! 🙂
Congratulations, Love your recipes, been enjoying them for 4 years!! Look forward to your cookbook coming to Canada one day!

Thank you so much, Shirleen! We are trying to work through some logistics issues to get it to Canada, but I don’t have a timeframe for that. Thank you so much for your support. 🙂
This is amazing. I’d love to order one, but unfortunately I’m in Germany 😅
Please let us know if/when you support international orders.

Samantha, I have been following you since 2013 so your cookbook is a must for me. quick ?- will Amazon offer it for sale?
Thank you so much for your support, Iram! I don’t have plans to get the book to Amazon. It’s a long process to get there so for now I will be shipping all of the orders out. 🙂
