Guys, I have a confession. I’ve got a big secret that I’ve been keeping from you all. I can’t keep it to myself anymore, so I’m finally going to spill the beans!
…a cookbook!!
Yes!! You read that correctly – I’m writing a cookbook.
Finally, right? I’ve been getting requests for a cookbook for years (literally) and I’m so excited to finally be doing this!
Want some details?
Ok, here goes.
When: My cookbook is going to be published by ArtScroll/Mesorah Publications and it’s scheduled for release at the end of this summer – just in time for your cooking marathon before the Jewish holidays in September.
What: A book of treats! Baked goods, desserts and treats for every occasion. And I mean EVERY occasion. I’m working super hard to think of every possible occasion that you’ll be baking for…so this book will become your absolute go-to for all things sweet!
I’m so excited to be doing this, and I’m beyond excited for you all to be holding an actual copy of my cookbook in your hands! To be honest, I’m also terrified. This is the biggest, scariest, most intense thing I’ve ever done in my life. There’s so much work to be done between now and then, and I still haven’t found an extra dozen hours in my day.
But here’s one thing I can tell you: when you pick up a copy of my book, I can guarantee you that it will contain my heart and soul within its pages. I’ve been working on some amazing new recipes for ages now, and I am DYING to share them with you already! But we’ll all have to wait…and it will definitely be worth it!
My cookbook will contain a few reader favorite recipes (any that you MUST see in the book? Let me know in the comments!) but it will mostly contain all-new recipes. And let me tell you…they.are.amazing!
Oh, and there’s one more thing! I will be asking for readers to sign up as testers for some of the recipes – so if you want to get involved (and try out some really delicious treats!) stay tuned for details on that.
And lastly – I’m sure you’re all wondering if and how this big announcement will affect the blog. But don’t worry! I most definitely do NOT plan to abandon my blog. There may be a higher concentration of real food here as I work to create recipes for my blog, but I’ll definitely keep posting new recipes for all of my amazing readers.
Thanks to each and every one of you for reading this blog, for believing in me, for supporting me, and for following. I’m so excited to have you along for this insane and exciting ride!
Edit: apply here to be a recipe tester!

Mazel tov!!!
Good for you. I can’t wait to hold one in my hands. I know it will be a great success because as you wrote, your heart and soul will be on every page.
So excited! Can’t wait!
so excited!!! Wish it was real food also. Please include your chocolate chip cookies without margarine, it’s become a go-to recipe!!
SOOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!! Can I preorder one now??????? 🙂
So excited for this…I’d love to have a lot of your previous recipes included because I find it frustrating to have to shuffle through dozens/hundreds of torn out magazine pages or search through your blog to find my favorites. Some of those….caramel pie, lemon glazed honey cookies, smores cookies, mocha cream cheese trifles and on and on and on…. can’t wait for the book and would love to help taste test 😉
This is amazing, congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s so exciting! Will you also be taking the pictures? I hope so! I’d like to see some easy 5 ingredient recipes.
I sure will be taking all of the photos!
So happy for you! Mazel Tov!
I stopped buying cookbooks a couple years ago, between your blog and magazines who needs a cookbook but I’ll be buying yours rest assured and would love to be a tester. I tell my family all the time their my guinepig, I’d love to be your guinepig!!!!
Congrats. This is so exciting. Can’t wait for it to come out
So excited! Can’t wait to buy it! Hatzlocha getting there! And you bet I’d love to be a taster;)!
Yay!! I’m sooo excited! Can I pre-order??!!
Who is it that is often reading through my cookbooks for ideas for desserts for shabbos? My kids! They are 13 and 15, and I’d love for you to keep them in mind as you are writing. I’d love a cookbook they can goto for great desserts. Kol hakavod, Miriam!
Oh.my.gosh!!! I am so counting down the days!!! I can’t wait for a dessert cookbook!! Let me know when I can preorder it. Mazel tov and best of luck!
WOW!! BIG news 🙂 I would love to see some of the recipes on the blog. It is super annoying to search and use the computer when baking. I don’t think any of us would mind some repeats – all your recipes are winners!!!! Not to mention the gorgeous photography that I would love to see in print.
Mazel tov!
What a wonderful accomplishment.
Wishing you much success.
Let me know when you need an unbiased blog review 😉
wow thats fantastic news!! good for u, and better for us!! i always pass ur winner recipes to my mother, who has a hard time with anything technology-related… she will be thrilled to have an actual book!!
Yay! So excited
Would love to be a tester
Great news!!!!! Hatzlachah!!!
Wow! That’s truly amazing! Behatzlaha!
This is GREAT news! I am so excited for you (and me) I can’t wait for it to come out! I will gladly be a tester for one of YOUR recipes! Can’t wait for those details!
I’m soo excited!! I love ur blog and recipes! Much success with ur new endeavor!!
What great news, hatzlacha!!
Mazel tov such great news you’re the best
Amazing, Miriam!!!! You know I would love to be a tester 🙂 Yum yum yum!
Mazel tov!! So exciting. I’d be happy to test (and eat :))
Would love to be a tester.
Mazel Tov! So exciting! Can’t wait to buy it! When I first started following you I would use “save link” on fb to save a recipe & then pull it up as needed. I have now saved so many of ur recipes it has become a real hassle to locate a specific one. Looking forward to a hardcover book!
Sounds great
Please include recipes that are on your blog as its easier to cook from looking at a book then a computer. I also don’t have the ami magazine anymore and want to try out those recipe’s so badly. Especially the ones everyone posts on Facebook from your over time cook. PLEASE PLEASE don’t make new recipe’s. Its time to have those in a cookbook.
Thanks
Miriam,
I am so happy for you. Genuinely happy that this route you chose has led you this far. From modest beginnings to the blog to ArtScroll. Wishing you only the best and lots of hatzlacha. Seriously excited for you.
Estee (and J)
Amazing news! Would love to see re lemon cheesecake mousse cups in there. Also would love to do recipe testing! We love your recipes and I convert a lot of them successfully to GF in case you’re interested in noting variations for those with Celiac.
Wow!! Best news ever! I can’t wait to buy it! I would love if you can include the chocolate chip fudge pie, or at least put it on the blog so it’ll be easier to find 😉
I’m a huge fan! So excited! I would love a cookbook with your “old” recipes as well!
MIRIAM!!!! HUGE HUGE HUGE Mazel toV!!!!! We “know” each other for so many years and I am so excited for you and for the cookbook, I cannot wait! It will be beautiful and amazing and we are so happy for you. Major hatzlacha over the next few months, and majorly looking forward!

So excited. Can I pre order?
Can’t wait! Very excited!
Congrats! Huge fan of ur recipes!!
Mazel Tov!!! I’m do happy for you; may this be the first of many.
I’m so excited for you! (I actually thought you were going to say something else that we would all be thrilled about!!!) Cant wait to buy it!!
Awesome news!!! It’s gana be the hottest selling cook book out there!
Can’t wait to buy it!
so happy for you and for us !!! Promised myself no more cookbooks for now but for this I will make an exception ! Can’t wait !!!
Wishing you the best of luck and looking forward to buying a copy!!! Will it be sold in Israel?
ArtScroll has an Israeli distributor (as well as other countries) so I would assume so!
Wow congratulations! This is super exciting news and I cannot wait to get my hands on this sure to be awesome cookbook! I adore your blog and your Ami column and I’m sure ur own cookbook will be the best topper!
I am very excited to hear this news!
PS I’ll gladly try recipes 🙂
Congratulations! Just a request — can you avoid all the fancy ingredients (rack of lamb, anything that would be sold at whole foods) and keep it REAL!
If I see one more cookbook with fancy shmancy anything I will scream! Doesn’t anyone have chipped china or stained tablecloths or am I alone?
Don’t worry! I’m less fancy than you are. 😉 While the book is going to be sweets, not real food, I am still keeping the majority of them simple and basic.
Wonderful news!! It will be a beautiful and much used cookbook, considering how much we all love the blog. Please include the Lemon Mousse Cups – they are so great for any (and no) occasions.
Oh and I’ll test any recipe you offer!
Hatzlocha!
(Uncle Mo-Mo’s mom)
Yay, Miriam!! You really deserve this. I can’t wait to see all of your work. It’s going to be fantastic!
This is such wonderful news. Your recipes are always really delicious, flavorful, and so easy to follow. Every thing that I’ve made from your blog has been a success. I would love to be a taster for you and help you in this extraordinary endeavor!
I am so excited that come Yom Tov time I will have a new cookbook to send my daughter and daughters-in-law. That is always my Yom Tov gift to them. I then wait to go to their homes, try the food and get the recipes. Hatzlocha Rabba!
I am really happy to hear this news! I have made a lot of your recipes..and I find them both creative and easy. I am sure it will be a best-seller. I’d be happy to be a tester. Hatzlacha Raba!
Waiting for the healthy food sequel. There aren’t enough pretty dessert recipes out there? Yours are amazing but we don’t have enough healthy, easy, tasty cookbooks and those are the recipes that I keep looking up on your blog ALL. THE. TIME. I want them in a cookbook, and I want MORE! Actually glad that you’re keeping it separate, that way you can come out with Volume II and I can get a cookbook that is entirely what I want instead of half desserts with a little food sprinkled in.
Congratulations!
I agree! I would also love a cookbook filled with recipes for healthy, easy and yummy foods!
Mazel tov – and you must include the chocolate chewy chunk cookies in there please!
Congratulations! I hope it becomes a success! Make sure all the recipes are tested several times, and DO NOT include that chocolate chip cookie recipe with vegetable oil! The only thing I didn’t like when I tried the recipe.
Mazel Tov Miriam! Such exciting news. I make many of your recipes, and often. So I know that anything you’ll come up with for your cookbook will be fabulous.
I think that is great .I COLLECT COOKBOOKS AND I AM HAPPY TO HELP YOU DISTRIBUTE IT TO GIFT SHOPS OUR KOSHER DELI AND YESHIVA BOOK STORE SO IT CAN BE SOLD IN Denver. We also love when people come to do demos…..

Congratulations! That’s great news. I’m a huge fan and can’t wait to get the cookbook. Best of luck.
What fantastic news! I cannot wait to add your cookbook to my collection!
Since I seem to have a very similar palate to you, I am very excited about this news! Looking forward to many recipes with little or no margarine and non-dairy whip.
I’m also excited to see more “real-food” recipes on the blog in the coming months!
That is VERY exciting news! Can’t wait!
I’m so excited for you! I LOVE your recipes! One of my favorites is the pretzel coated cookies. Good luck and I can’t wait!

Wow finally… I’m drooling already! Looking forward!!
Congrats!!! Will it be sold on Amazon?
Of course!
Wow, congrats!! We are so happy for you!!
Can’t wait till the cookbook comes out. Tried so many of your recipes and I love them. Any chance we can pre-order them?
Mazel Tov! I can’t wait for the cookbook to come out and I’d love to be a tester!!!!!
Hey! I noticed many recipies dont have a ‘print’ button so I can print out the Recipes, vs copying a and pasting etc.
1. I love your blog and now have quite a few “go to” recipes from here.
2. You’ve got to include your margerineless choc chip cookies – I just made a batch for a bar mitzvah and people raved about them – the link from your blog has been forwarded to many.
3. I would totally test recipes for you
