Exciting News – a Collaboration with Elin Hilderbrand!
UM YES. I just typed out that title.
I have been dying to share this exciting bit of info with you forEVER! In what is perhaps the coolest thing I’ve ever personally done, I developed recipes for Elin Hilderbrand’s newest book, Here’s To Us, that comes out today!
This is the closest thing to a dream come true for me, only perhaps behind publishing a novel myself.
If you’ve been reading along for the last seven years then you know what a huge, huge, HUGE fangirl I am of Elin’s writing. Her books are my absolute favorite – I wait almost 364 days for the next one to come out because I always end up finishing her summer novel in 24 to 48 hours. The fact that she started putting out a winter novel pretty much made the second half of the year for me.
When she asked me to develop exclusive recipes for her summer 2016 book, I nearly died. It’s something that is just so close to my heart. If you are a book lover and read to escape, I’m sure you understand the connection that I feel to her stories. They took me through my twenties which was such a huge period of growth and change and I am that person that always feels like characters become friends and authors become inspirations.
Eeeep!
You can order her book here or of course, find it anywhere books are sold! And if you read the book and make the recipes, be sure to tag #howsweeteats on instagram and send me a snap!

thanks sues!
Wow!! What an exciting opportunity!!! I leaned about her books when I shared Elin’s name when I was pregnant with her and my mom let me know that was the name of one of her favorite authors! My mom just got her hands on that book and said it was wonderful! Can’t wit to read it!
oh i love that!! thanks chrissy!
Conrats Jessica, that’s amazing! I’m so happy for you to get to do it and I can’t wait to see what you’ll be sharing!
thank you tori!
I immediately put my name on the wait list for each of her new books when I find out the new title. Then I get impatient waiting once it is out and go get the book myself. This is super exciting! Congratulations!
thanks emily!
Ahhh that is so beyond exciting! CONGRATS! xox
thanks leah!
Congratulations!!!!! She is my favorite author too! I agree with you, I get so into her books that I feel like the characters are my friends too! I am always so sad when I finish a book because I am wanting more! Although I may be sad when it’s over I am never disappointed with the way the book ends.
And now you are writing recipes for her book, even better! Two of my favorites all in one place! I am going to buy it today and I know I will be trying a new recipe this week!
i feel the exact same way. thanks leigh ann!
Wow! That is super cool! I also love Elin’s books and have read them all. I grew up in Massachusetts and we summered on the Cape, so her novels bring me back to my childhood. I have already ordered her latest …..Congrats!

SO STINKIN’ excited to read this book! As I put on your instagram, I have been on the pre-waiting list at at the library but I’m not sure I can wait. I’m ordering it right now to devour! It was your recommendations on the blog that led me to Elin Hilderbrand (and although I haven’t made it through all of her books YET, they are incredible). Such an exciting and wonderful accomplishment for you to be a part of it- Congrats!!

How awesome! Aside from “Here’s to Us,” what is your favorite Elin Hilderbrand novel? Â I’m looking to stock up on some great reads before vacation!
oh man! there are so many. my all time favorite is the blue bistro. next would probably be the island. also love silver girl, the beach club and the matchmaker! her winter novels are also wonderful, but more wintery. :)
Fantastic!! Thank you!

Fantastic and such a cool accomplishment!! :)
So awesome!! So would you recommend NOT getting this one on audible? Would we miss out on the recipes that way?
you know what! that’s a really good question. i listen to books on audible all the time but i can’t remember if they read the recipes? i’m sure that they do. either way, if you buy it in print you have the recipe in print and don’t have to write it down yourself! :)
Congratulations to you!! How fun! I wait 364 days a year for her book as well and try and make it last 48 hours. Now when a write down the recipes they will have more meaning. “Sail on Silver Girl. Sail on by. Your time has come to shine”.
