A free cookbook recipe (and I need your help with it)

Hi Reader, I want to give you something... My abuelo's cinnamon and olive oil cookies. The recipe I've spent weeks testing, trying to turn a memory into something you can actually follow. No cookbook, no written method, just his hands knowing what to do, and me finally figuring out how to write the recipe down properly. I'm sharing the full recipe exclusively inside Cookbook Club, my free weekly email where I take you behind the scenes of everything happening in my kitchen right now as I write my new cookbook. You will get access to he testing days spent entirely in my pyjamas. The failures (the upside down cake I pulled out too soon even though I knew). The tough calls about which recipes make the cut (I will need your help!). The ugly dishes that taste too good to leave out. All of it, every week, straight to your inbox. And right now I need your help settling something. I've had my mum, my daughters, my husband and a rotating cast of friends all test these cookies, and not one of them agrees. Soft and gooey when baked at 10 minutes, or firm and crunchy at 12 minutes? My whole household is divided and I need an outside opinion. Are you team 10 minutes or team 12? Join Cookbook Club, get the recipe, make the cookies, and tell me what you think. You might just be the deciding vote.
I'll see you in there. xoxo Daen p.s. it's free, it's weekly, and there will be more recipes along the way. Come join me! |

Hello Reader, If you were up late celebrating the 4th of July, or like me, up too late with a few too many glasses of red wine waiting for gossip about Taylor Swift's wedding, today calls for exactly one thing: pastina. It's the perfect dish to make when you don't feel like cooking but need something comforting! Growing up, there was an unspoken rule in our house. Pastina had to be eaten on the couch, in the comfiest clothes you owned. My mum made it whenever we were sick, heartbroken, or...
Hello Reader, Okay, I have to talk about this one because you clearly can't stop clicking on it either... my cherry tomato and basil pasta has been getting so much love lately and I love to see it! It's the kind of dish that tastes like summer in a bowl. Cherry tomatoes blister and burst in the pan with lots of olive oil until they turn jammy and sweet, then a big handful of fresh basil and sprinkling of pecorino romano turns it into a sauce that genuinely rivals anything you'd buy in a jar....
Hello Reader, I think chicken breast gets a bit of an unfair reputation. It's often the last thing people get excited about cooking, but with the right recipe, it can be one of the most comforting dinners you'll make all week. This creamy mushroom chicken is exactly that. Golden chicken breasts simmered in a rich garlic and mushroom sauce with a splash of cream, plenty of parmesan and fresh thyme. It feels like something you'd order at your favourite little bistro, yet it's made with simple...
