Sound the trumpets!
Today is an exciting day: I’m thrilled to officially introduce the cookbook I created for you. Earlier this year I left the financial industry to focus on cooking and The Curious Plate full-time, and working with Page Street Publishing to write this book has been a dream. After months of recipe testing and recipe development that began in January, I’m so happy to finally reveal the cover and title.
Without further ado, meet:
MODERN COMFORT COOKING – Feel Good Favorites Made Fresh and New

Sharing the title and cover feels amazing. The design—dark, moody, and inviting—reflects the kind of soulful, satisfying meals I love to cook and serve. When you look at the cover, I want you to feel like you’ve just sat down at my table for a comforting, memorable dinner.
The book contains over 80 brand-new recipes organized into six chapters, covering everything from Brunch to Classic Comfort Food to Modern Drive-Thru favorites. My personal favorite chapter is East Meets West, which blends bold global flavors into familiar formats. Think Korean BBQ Burgers with miso-candied bacon, Mumbai shrimp tacos with avocado salsa, and a Korean pulled pork lasagna—creative, craveable dishes that update comfort food for everyday cooking.



I can’t host every one of you in person, but I hope you’ll welcome me into your kitchen by ordering a copy of MODERN COMFORT COOKING. The book will be available December 5, 2017, so pre-ordering is the best way to guarantee you have it in time for the holidays.
Pre-order options include major retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, IndieBound, and Books-a-Million.
To celebrate the book, I held a giveaway of three signed copies as a thank-you to readers who have supported this journey. (Note: the giveaway is now closed.)
Thank you for all your support through this process. I can’t wait for MODERN COMFORT COOKING to be part of your home and kitchen—I hope these recipes bring warmth, flavor, and new favorites to your table.
Conclusion: Experience the spirit of modern comfort cooking with this cover reveal and get ready to elevate your everyday meals with irresistible, approachable recipes.
