After wrapping up with Ina, so many people said I should tackle every recipe created by Smitten Kitchen! While I adore Deb, I don’t think I have it in me to tackle another authors entire repertoire.
I’m sure you’re all familiar with Smitten Kitchen – after all, she is an OG of food blogging and has a massive following thanks to her phenomenal recipes, humor, and relatability
I’ve always been a huge fan of Deb’s and just about fainted when she started following me several years back. We had plans in Spring 2020 to cook some Ina recipes together but COVID and the pandemic had other ideas for us! We finally got together this past March for a tasty lunch at Jack’s Wife Freida’s and it honestly felt like getting together with an old friend. There’s a reason so many have fallen in love not only with the food but Deb herself – she’s hilarious, smart, and incredibly down to earth. Her enthusiasm is contagious!
I featured her first cookbook as a “Cookbook of the Month” and it’s still a favorite. Her third cookbook is a close second!
