How exciting is this! I love looking through all the book and food pairings and the few recipes I've tried so far are excellent. What a fun way to celebrate some of my favorite stories!

The Happily Ever After Cookbook is available today and has some great recipes inspired by some of our favorite romances!
I have a list of recipes I want to try, including Kandi Steiner’s whiskey BBQ sauce, but my sweet tooth was begging for these amazing Blueberry Lemon Thyme Scones! I made a huge mess but they were totally worth it! I wish I could share some with you so I don’t eat them all myself!
Be sure to check this out!!

Thank you Valentine PR for the ARC of this cookbook provided in exchange for an honest review.
I absolutely love cookbooks based on tv shows and books and loved being able to make some recipes from some of my favorite romance books.
There are huge color images of each recipe, a blurb about which book it is from, and easy to follow instructions. I made the Diablo Cookies from Giana Darling's Inked in Lies (and ate way too many of them), a butternut squash soup from Secret Beast by Amelia Wilde, and Jafar's cocktail from Desperate Measures.
There's a wide range of recipes from tacos, to main courses (coq au vin from Tears of Tess looks SO GOOD), soups, breakfast, desserts, and cocktails. I can't wait to make something else next!

Cooking just got a whole lot sexier! I absolutely love this idea! When I first saw that some talented authors got together to write a cookbook, I thought it was so creative and I needed to get my hands on it because I love cooking! So cooking and reading collided my two worlds. There are appetizers, entrees, desserts, breakfast, and of course, cocktails. Cant wait to try the entire cookbook; it’s great for any type of occasion!

Fun interesting recipes. My only knock is that some of them require me to go out and buy kitchen products I do not own- immersion blender, instant pot, wok, etc.
I did love the insight the authors gave to both the food and the stories which inspired them.

Can you say FOODGASM? A book that marries my two passions in life? SMUT and DELICIOUS FOOD? Yes please!
When I heard about the 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 I knew it was gunna be epic and I wasn't wrong, Smut Squad. Here's what it's got.
The 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 contains exclusive appetizers, soups, main dishes, desserts, cocktails, breakfast, and bakery recipes. Each recipe is inspired by a book and you get a peek into each book along with gorgeous photos of each recipe!
Here are the recipes I made...
𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞: MY CONE & ONLY
𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗥: Susannah Nix
𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗘: Cheese Grits
𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧: Oh. My. Lord. (said in a Southern accent). I have 2 questions: (1) Where gave grits been all of my life? (2)How do Southern women stay thin? The butter. The cheese. The deliciousness. My Virginia-raised husband has never been so happy!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞: DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH
𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗥: Skye Warren
𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗘: Chocolate & Raspberry Crepes
𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧: My family loves crepes, so how have I never made chocolate crepes before now? I promise I will be making them from now on! I used strawberries in this recipe because my horrid children don't like raspberries (monsters, right?). Throw on some whip cream and chocolate sauce and you are in heaven! So good!
Both of these recipes were incredibly easy to make and both were delicious! I also saw a gazillion other recipes I would love to try in this cookbook.
The 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗖𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 is such a fun take on combining delicious themed recipes with devilishly good books. If you have a Smutty Book Club it would be amazing to choose a monthly read and make it's recipe too!
