Some times life needs a little spice. This cookbook, The Date Night Cookbook definitely turns up the heat! Whether you’re here for the celebrity drama or you just want some recipe inspiration that you can share with a loved one, you’ll find that in these pages. Ned & Ariel’s story is intertwined amongst recipes that coordinate with each relationship stage.

I find that many cookbooks tell a similar story or have like recipes. These three cookbooks, Home Is Where The Eggs Are, Simply West African, Eat Your Heart Out stand out from so many that I’ve read! Home Is Where The Eggs Are has some of the most beautiful storytelling (plus the recipes are excellent!) Simply West African opened my eyes to new flavor profiles and ways to cook vegetables. Eat Your Heart Out taught me that I could love eating but not overindulge on foods that make me feel horrible hours later. Trust me, these deserve to be in your kitchen!!

The weather is warm and the veggies are fresh. I’ve been hitting up my local farmer’s market and using this cookbook, Mediterranean Summer Table as my recipe guide. I love the fresh and bold flavors that the Mediterranean region is known for. Most recipes are quite simple but the flavor blows me away. If you want a cookbook focused on elevating high quality produce, this is the one for you.
