Once upon a chef

I flagged so many pages of recipes I am interested in that I am going to be busy for a while. Hello, I'm Anthony. The Classic Cobb Salad with Dijon is a personal favorite.

We all know the drill: Nurture a successful food blog by adding consistently beautiful pictures and recipes worth filing away, attract a gaggle of loyal followers—then sign a cookbook deal. Sounds easy, no? We hear this story often enough, but it is rarely mentioned what kind of work and dedication goes into such a project. Jennifer Segal, 44, the Maryland-based chef, mom of two teenagers and the driving force behind the blog Once Upon a Chef , has hit this coveted milestone after nine years of diligent blogging, releasing a cookbook of the same name. The edge that Segal has over other bloggers-turned-cookbook-authors is her formal training as a chef. She is not home-taught. Segal, who was raised in an unaffiliated, alternative Jewish community and household, showcases Jewish influences on her blog as well as in her book.

I am a wife, a mother of two, digital marketing executive and an Autism support coach. The Weeknight meals are a little faster and easier to throw together when everyone is home from work or school. Only a few recipes that I would be interested in trying but overall I didn't even copy them to have. I believe in the healing powers of food, the kitchen as the soul of a home, and the need for good recipes. Satisfying food. This is a book with great recipes for the non professional cook who likes to cook but still needs to feed their family in a limited amount of time. This new cookbook is a collection of winners! I clearly love to cook but I am so much more than that. Lady and Pups is an angry food blog and my misery outlet. Pictures are great and the directions are clear and easy to follow. I literally want to make everything from this cookbook! Come chat with me about books here, too: Blog Instagram Twitter Pinterest. Also I really appreciate that Jen includes metric measurements alongside US because I use a kitchen scale and prefer measuring that way.

I may have been one of the first people to pre-order it, considering I am constantly bookmarking her recipes to rotate into my weekly meal plans. This post contains affiliate links and some purchases may generate a small commission that helps support our work at no additional cost to you.
