I can’t believe it’s already been a full year since The Pretty Dish launched!
To celebrate, I’m giving away five signed copies of the book! Leave a comment below and I’ll pick five winners at random next week. Giveaway open worldwide.
This past year with The Pretty Dish has been full of so many wonderful moments.
The book tour was incredible — meeting readers in person, some of whom have followed the blog for a decade, made everything feel like a gathering of friends. Your support for the book truly means the world to me.
There are also behind-the-scenes posts about how the book came together if you’re curious about the process.
A few fun facts about The Pretty Dish
Although I have seasonal favorites, my absolute top recipe in the book is the carnitas burrito bowl. It’s the one I reach for again and again.
The recipe you’ve made most frequently? The chocolate crinkle sprinkles. Those cookies are a serious crowd-pleaser.
I can’t forget the bolognese, the coconut curry chicken, or the bacon-blue shrimp chopped salad — all major favorites that readers keep returning to.
The butternut squash queso and the white chicken chili have also been incredibly popular. Your enthusiasm for these recipes makes me love them even more.
If you own the book but haven’t joined our book club yet, you’re missing out. We have an amazing community there, and lately we’ve been running a March Madness recipe challenge that’s so fun — it brightens my day, every day.
Note: the book club is for people who own the book. We don’t post the full recipes there, but we share ideas, swaps, and inspiration.
What I love most about this book is seeing how you adapt the recipes and make them your own. Cooking is all about putting your personal spin on things, and I adore when you do that and tell me about it.
Please keep sharing your creations — tag your photos with #howsweeteats and @howsweeteats on Instagram so I can see what you’re making and share my favorites.
Thank you so much for an amazing year. xo
