Cookbook News: Get These Pre-Order Bonuses!

Don't Miss Your Chance to Win the Big Prize (Plus Drink Pairing Recipes)

Pre-order giveaway—a Staub mini casserole set and some favorite ingredients used in the book

This is a bonus email for the week with a bit of book news. If you’re just here for the recipes, stay tuned—there’s a fun one coming tomorrow!

Only 2 months until the release of my cookbook, Snacking Dinners! I’m so excited for you all to see it!

I’m incredibly grateful to all of you who have pre-ordered the book, either with an online retailer or by calling/emailing your local bookstore. Pre-order sales are a really, really big deal when you have a new book coming out as they really determine a book’s rankings on release day (especially for small-scale authors, like me, who don’t have massive platforms).

As a thank you to everyone who is supporting this work, I’ve teamed up with a few of my favorite brands to give away a package filled with some of the tools and ingredients you’ll find in the book. On the day of the book’s release, April 8, one reader who has pre-ordered the book will win three Staub mini casserole dishes plus ingredients and treats from Fly by Jing, 50 Hertz, Diaspora Co, Seka Hills, and more (see photo above).

As an added bonus, I’ve teamed up with the well-known bartender / mixologist Brynn Smith of Hollywood’s The Bar Next Door to offer four cocktail recipes (and three mocktail variations) designed specifically to go with recipes in the book. Every person who pre-orders (and fills out the form linked above and below) will get these recipes immediately. This way, you can have the ingredients on hand when the book arrives—or just go ahead and try these great drinks right now, while you wait for pub day!

Brynn developed these gorgeous recipes to complement four specific recipes in Snacking Dinners

Fill out this quick form with your order number and email, and you’ll automatically get a download link for the Drink Pairing Recipes PDF and as well as a chance to win the big giveaway.

The form also has an option to sign up for a free signed bookplate—just enter your mailing address and I’ll pop one in the mail to you the week the book comes out. (And if you’re one of those amazing, generous souls who is ordering multiple copies to give to friends and family, send me a note and I’ll be happy to personalize your bookplates for you!)
