You just described me to a T when it comes to dessert so of course I had to pre-order.

This is exciting news. Your recipes are beloved in our household (baked ziti, blueberry tart, labne dip, chickpea stew, cauliflower pasta, pistachio shortbread).

I am not your target audience as I bake almost daily, both sweet and savory and I freely admit to having a sweet tooth. That said I will buy your book because you are a fantastic recipe writer.

I have one wish. Please, please tell me you included weights. I’ll be doubly appreciative if you included metric weights.

Yours,

Ellen

Savory dessert is (not really) my middle name! Pre-ordered; but will there be dill cookies?

Pre-ordered 3 copies right after Xmas…one for me, the other two for my gal pals; we bake together over a zoom once a month. We are SO excited for the book… And so hoping you will visit either Chicago, Denver, and/or Buffalo! XO to you, Alison… You are amazing!

Cannot wait. Congrats!

Wondering if Amazon is our only option for spiral bound?

Spiral bound is not something my publisher prints- it’s something done by third parties from scanning each page and making the book themselves- technically not illegal, but also terrible!

Oooh gross, ok! It can be handy, especially for cookbooks but that will be a no go! Should have known better coming from Amazon. I’ll pre-order from Book Larder in Seattle! Thank you for the response!

Alison: I feel like we know each other. You have attended many of my soirées via your recipe. I pretend you are in the next room when I tell guests about the lime chicken or shallot pasta. I like your cooking videos. They feel like my favorite I love Lucy’s. Looking forward to the new book. Just want to tell you that it is obvious to me (and I know many others) that you are the real deal. Keep following your heart. It is brave and fun and it shows. Prost.

Can't wait for the new book. BTW made your cauliflower and pasta recipe from the NYT last night and it was absolutely fabulous.

Great news! We love your cookbooks.Can you get some signed copies to BookPeople in Austin, TX? We like to support our local independent bookstore.

I believe they’ll be receiving copies with “book plates”- meaning I’ve signed a little piece of paper that sticks into the interior of the book. A real signature, just not signed on location!

Dear Alison,

I just finished a heaping helping of your delicious Baked Ziti (used Rigatoni per your vid) and I just want to say I’m so happy to have found you! I’m looking forward to more of your fun and insightful videos. You make cooking easier for me. Onward ho!!!!!! ✨

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I know you told us at some point where your round cutting board is from but I have scoured the internet and cannot find it anymore. This is the round dark wood cutting board. Can you remind me where it's from?!?!?!
