Gorgeous pictures and a fun cookbook to read. Her recipes look easy and doable, but are not for the most part what my family enjoys. Even so, there are a few dishes I'd like to try. There are some great (and easy) sauce recipes as well.

excellent

Just wish you had Chicken Picatta in here. I love everything else and it’s nice seeing the cocktails in there as well.

Like the rest of us, we love her on Instagram.
So why is she looking away from what she’s doing on the front cover, when she’s usually looking right at us?
What distracted her? Did she think that was her good side?
Why are all book titles sooooo long now? It should have been named “Because You Can”. That’s all.
It’s fun when she SAYS “shuga” and “ga’lick” but not a fan in print.
Sorry I’m so critical. But I’ll bet everyone who watches her envisioned her book exactly how they’d like to see it - so it was impossible to please everyone.
The other funny thing is how she makes it look so easy! Reading the recipe for me is like reading “War and Peace”.
I would have liked a page just fit “Chefie Tips”.
Having said all that, I ear marked recipes that are easy and look good. Who am I kidding - I’ll never make pasta from scratch!
