Seriously Delish Deets!
Hey hey! So we are about two months away from the release of Seriously Delish and I’m all OMG-I-can’t-even-believe-it-is-this-real-life? It’s true. It is.
Seriously Delish is currently available for preorder (I will love you foreverrrrrr…) on amazon, barnes and noble and indiebound and will officially be released on September 2. Just in time for all your favorite fall cooking!
For feeling like it’s taken a thousand years to get to this point, time is now flying by and it’s almost here. Totally nutso. I have received bunches of questions from you guys soooooo… here we go.
One of the things you guys keep asking is if “all of the recipes in Seriously Delish are new?” And the answer is YES. Okay, well almost. I’d say that 98% of the recipes are brand new, never seem on the blog before. This was super important to me because for years I’ve put my best recipes on the internets for free and if I’m going to buy a book? There better be some new stuff. The other 2% is filled up with some classic favorites that may have been seen on the blog back in 2009-10, but haven’t been touched since. Most are new and improved, and I’d say there are less than eight recipes (out of 150+) that are re-dos from the blog. Think my favorite guac recipe, a classic mac and cheese, my ideal baked eggs and my mom’s chicken romano that multiple people have got engaged after making. For real. It’s happened.
The rest are brand spanking new… and here is just a sprinkling of my favorites.
Why yes, that is a grilled cheese that comes with something to dip it in. And a cinnamon roll made with coconut oil and an amaretto squash soup with cinnamon toast croutons and and and cocktails galore. !!!!! There are lots of those. The cover image is toast (um there may be many things on toast…) with whipped ricotta and warm vanilla berries – hello breakfast forever. I cannot wait until we are making all the things together!!
I also get ridiculous giddy looking at some of these recipes because they were developed back in 2012 and do you have any idea how hard it is for me to NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THEM? I can’t keep secrets from you.
Seriously Delish has a bunch of my favorite lightened up comfort foods, an entire chapter dedicated to how the heck I can force myself to eat vegetables (obviously must taste like chocolate or bacon. Just kidding. Sort of.), the easiest dinners so you can lay on the couch and watch TV on the weeknights and a bunch of recipes that might require a shot of insulin before eating (just kidding again, sort of). Plus plus plus. Lots more!
You guys also keep asking if I’ll be doing book signings and a tour, and that answer is a big fat YEEEAAASS! It’s still in the works and you’ll be the first to know (because I’m sure I’ll shove it down your throats) when I know all that. So that’s all for now – feel free to leave any questions below and I will get to them in the comments. And then maybe please go preorder a book for you and 25 of your friends? K. Awesome. Heart you.
p.s. we can totally drink one of these together… perhaps my most favorite cocktail EVER. all i gotta say is THANK YOU!

About how many vegetarian recipes will the book have? Just wondering, since I’m a vegetarian. but I’m going to be buying your book anyways because you’re my favorite blogger, and we live in the same city haha (I go to Pitt).
P.S. My boyfriend became my boyfriend after I made him your vanilla cupcakes for two for valentines day in 2013. So you can take credit for relationships as well ;)
hi lauren!! i did a rough count and with everything (like snacks and breakfast and stuff) there are well over 75. but i’d say for entrees and lunches and dinners etc, it’s probably a similar percentage as to what’s on my blog? i’d say there are probably at least 25+. and for the others, i think it’s a pretty easy swap to make them vegetarian!
thank you!!
Please, Please, PLEASE come to Des Moines, Iowa for one of your book signings!!
Totally can’t wait for this!!
I can’t wait for this to come! Also super excited for the book tour – can’t wait to have a drink with you! You deserve it all
YOU BETTER BE MAKING IT TO THE LA/OC AREA SO WE CAN HAVE A GIANT HANG OUT CELEBRATION OR ELSE.
So excited for you!! And for your book! I am preordering it today.
If you’re in the DC area for a signing I’ll be there :)
Yay Yay Yay!!! I’m leaving horribly obnoxious hints that I want this and only this for my birthday!
And…I know it’s a long shot, but hear me out. Please, please, please, go to smaller cities/towns for your book tour. We don’t all live in NYC, LA, St. Louis, DC, and Chicago. If you can make it into central IL (Springfield, Champaign) I will be there! And I’ll bring makeup :)
Congratulations! Hope you come to Seattle for your book signing tour!
Finally pre-ordered yesterday! I can’t wait to start cooking with it. :) Also, I LOVE the chicken romano recipe – excellent choice!
I’m sure it isn’t likely, but please please please tell me you’re going to come to Canada for a book signing. That would be THE BEST THING EVER.
Yes Canada! We Canadians love you too!
I third that motion. Vancouver specifically, please. We’re thisclose to Seattle, so…
COME TO CANADA!!!!
Yesssss!! Stop by Montreal!! It’s a lovely city. :)
Most awesome. The pics steal the show and are what sell me on trying new recipes. And your pics…well, yours are just the best. Hands down. What percentage of the recipes will have pictures?
Yes, I’d like to know this as well. I’m hoping each recipe has it’s own picture!
hi guys!! there isn’t a photo for EVERY single recipe, but there is a photo for most. the good news is that the recipes that are lacking photos are simpler things like a quick salsa or sauce, etc. and i did photograph everything, so if something comes up and you really want to see a photo, i can always post it here!
YAYYYYYYYY <3
So excited. I want you to have a second book already (*wishing*) even though I haven’t even seen the first one yet!
So excited for you!! And well, for me too, because the chance of you coming this way for a book tour would be so awesome! You were the first ever blog I followed, way way way back. Like when you posted workouts. Yes, long ago! I.cant.wait. Come to MA :) please oh please!
Cannot wait to get my hands on this!!!!
Ermageeerrrrrrrd did you say cinnamon toast croutons?? I love you. I cannot wait to get my mitts on this loverly cookbook.

PS book tour, do you have cities and dates yet?
Please come to New Orleans! Between amazing food and ALL the cocktails I know you’d love it here (but don’t come June-September unless you are ready to melt, this is not a cool place).
PLEASE come to Dallas! Also, what is that drink you are hokding? Where is that recipe???
Exciting! Congrats! I can’t wait to read this. Pre-ordering now :)
Congratulations! I love your website and have been making your recipes for a long time. You are my go to website to find new recipes. I’ve never been disappointed! Can’t wait to get your new, beautiful cookbook!
This is so exciting! I definitely want the book!
Very exciting – can’t wait to pour over/cook from it!
This is one of the most anticipated cookbooks for me. I can hardly wait!! I hope the tour comes near me. RJ Julia in Madison, CT always had the best. I hope you stop by.
Congrats. Your cover is gorgeous, as I’m sure all the recipes inside are too!
I already pre-ordered it when you did a post about it about 1-2 months ago. I ordered it right then, and now, I am even MORE excited after all this new teaser info. I love the multiple people engaged after it story and tidbits like that – so fun! Congrats, Jessica! You should be so so so proud!!!!!!!
Congrats! Can’t wait to read it. Your blog is legit part of coffee time at work and on the weekends every morning like clock work. So proud keep doing your thing girl, and make a stop in Albany, NY when you can!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I am SO SO SO excited for this! Please send me one to brag about on Treats With a Twist (oh fine, I’ll give one away to a reader too) ;)
Oh, and Memphis… or Northwest Arkansas…or St. Louis…I’ll just come to you!

Congratttts! So exciting and delicious too. Can’t wait
Ahhhh i cannot even express how excited I am for you! …and I also can’t wait to see all that goodness bound in one book! XO
Awesome! I’m so excited for you! on the book. It’s amazing that you created a whole new set of recipes for your book when you’ve already blogged so many good ones. :)
Come to Chicago, please! I promise not to “fangirl” on you. . .only sort of.
I am sooo excited for this to come out! You’re the very first food blog I followed many moons ago and I’ve been a faithful reader and maker of your food since.. Your food is always easy to make and tastes soo good! So excited for you and wish you much success with this book. Come to Seattle!
Can. Not. Wait!
Come to Dalllas!!
I’m so so so so SOOOO excited Jessica! Like, for reals!!

Holy moly this is beyond exciting! SO happy for you!!!!
SO EXCITING!!!!!!!! Please come to Ohio for your book signing :D
You so do not have to convince me. I don’t usually buy cookbooks, but like thousands of others, you inspired me to create my own blog. Yours was the first one to introduce me to the world of food blogging. Can’t wait until Sept 2nd. I know you will probably not come to Canada, but I’m totally willing to cross the broader for your book signing tour.
CONGRATULATIONS Jess!! I’m so so excited for you! These recipes all look gorgeous and I’m pretty sure my copy of the book will eventually be completely post-it-ified (that’s how I mark all the recipes I want to make in cookbooks). Congratulations on all your hard work! PS if you’re coming to the Ontario area as part of your book tour, I will be there!
My mom pre-ordered this for me as a birthday gift last month :) So excited!
Just have to be bossy and demanding:
YOU MUST DO A BOOK SIGNING IN THE ANN ARBOR/NORTHVILLE/BIRMINGHAM AREA!!!!
Or you can just come to my house and I’ll feed you stuff…
CONGRATS!!!!!
xo
Here’s my vote for adding western North Carolina to your tour schedule. Asheville is the “big city” but Great Expectations in tiny Rutherfordton is our wonderful local bookstore. Thanks.
I am so beyond thrilled for you my friend and a book tour?? DIE!!!! love ya xoxo
I just placed my order….now I’m thinking about ordering more for Christmas gifts…
I’m really excited about this book!
it hasn’t even come out yet, and I’m already obsessed with it. gonna preorder this asap!
Congrats again Jess!! I’ve already pre-ordered your book and I can’t wait to get my hands on it!!
What incredibly beautiful photographs! <3
But please, what are deets?
