I’m so excited!! Let the countdown begin. I pre-ordered late last year from Books Are Magic and can’t wait to dig in!

Where's the recipe??? I subscribed to this newsletter; actually paid money to receive content. Not to be asked to buy a book to receive a recipe.

Your subscription? It's wonderful, it's the absolute worst.

I adore carrot cake, but my family does not so I rarely make it. But I will definitely make yours when your new book arrives. I can’t wait to possibly change some hearts and minds with your delicious cake! 😍

I love everything about baking.

I am by nature patient so waiting doesn’t bother me especially since the house usually smells wonderful during the waits.

I weigh my ingredients (in grams) so no powder flying everywhere.

I pit cherries in the bottom of the sink or outside to contain the mess. I also recommend cutting and juicing blood oranges in the bottom of the sink if you prefer your kitchen to not look like a crime scene.

I am a night owl so during summer I bake and make jam after midnight.

I’ve had great success with your dessert recipes: brown butter buttermilk cake, blueberry tart, pistachio shortbread, so I’m eagerly anticipating receiving your new book.

Thank you for your help incredible recipes and for sharing your fun personality.

Absolutely love this part of the Eater review: “She describes her desserts as “a little wild-looking and decidedly unkempt,” and the book’s overall vibe follows suit: The photos showcase crumbs, paper plates, caramelized fruit goo, ripped apart strawberry cake, and shirtless people wearing short-shorts; everything looks like it’s being served at a picnic where everyone’s been drinking for several hours.” I’m pre-ordering a cookbook now! We borrowed the first two cookbooks from our local library & have been cooking many of the recipes along with our favs from our subscription. It’s not often a recipe makes me laugh, except for Alison Roman’s.

any chance the pictures of shirtless people wearing short-shorts are for the shortbread recipes? Sounds like an ideal 2023 trifecta

I LOVE a FREE newsletter chock full of exciting news about a killer new book, top notch creative and a ton of wit and personality to brighten my day. And even more, I love a PAID newsletter, for just the price of buying my girl ARo a coffee, she gives me all sorts of life affirming content and recipes. Pre-order me, subscribe me, ticket me. Thank you ARo for the GOODS!! See you in SeaTown!
