My first cookbook, Five Marys Ranch Raised, came out almost one year ago in September 2020. We’ve already been working for quite some time on my second cookbook (!!!) and it’s scheduled to release in September 2022!
We’ve had two photo shoots for the book so far – and both have gone so well. It’s SO MUCH WORK by a whole team of talented people and we’re having a lot of fun working on everything together. We’ve had a few bumps in the road, like crazy wind the night of the cover shoot, but we are cruising along and I’m so excited to share all the new recipes and DIYs in this one.
I just got back from a weekend at my parent’s house… it was a special day shooting recipes there and sharing all of my favorite family recipes – with a lot of help from my awesome team of food stylists, prop stylists, photographer, and assistants!
My mom and I made my great-grandmother’s ravioli from scratch. Before my Grandpa died, I promised him I’d teach the next generation to make his mom’s ravioli and he gave me money to buy the pasta maker. I think he’d be happy to see it immortalized in a cookbook! It was really fun to do a shoot at my parents’ house and get to enjoy the fruits of our labor with a big prime rib dinner afterwards.
We’ve submitted the final manuscript (with 100 recipes and DIY’s!), so now the fun begins seeing it all come together in layout.
I have ordered a few of your recipe books both for myself and gifts. I got them off of Amazon however and I was hoping to get one signed if possible. How do I go about that?
Can’t wait to see your second book! The first was amazing!
Recipes!! Can’t wait to see your new cookbook! This mama loves new recipes
