About the Author:
Carolina Gelen is on a mission to share her love of food with you. Her journey began in Transylvania, Romania, where she was born and raised. In 2021, she immigrated to the United States to pursue her passion for food full-time. She is a recipe developer and food content creator who cultivated an online community of millions. While most people know her for her wildly popular food blog and social media channels, her work can also be found in the New York Times and on Food Network and Food52. She loves nature and fell in love with the mountains of Utah, where she currently resides.
About the Book:
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Wildly popular blogger and viral recipe creator Carolina Gelen presents 100 crowd-pleasing, effortlessly delicious recipes that showcase her simple-but-sophisticated style.
“Not a lot of cookbooks make me shouty, but this one did instantly: Everything looks so good! Clever, innovative, and fresh, I hardly know what to cook first.”—Deb Perelman, author of Smitten Kitchen Keepers
Far from a fussy chef or unrealistic food influencer, Carolina learned to cook at home with a family who loved food but could rarely go out to eat. Taking that passion to the next level, she worked in restaurants and translated her skills into a successful full-time recipe developer who cultivated an online community of millions who love her recipes.
Her debut cookbook, Pass the Plate, features 100 recipes for creative but familiar takes on beloved comfort foods—almost all are brand-new, but there are also some beloved fan favorites. Dishes such as Chicken Schnitzel with Caramelized Lemon Gremolata and Many Mushrooms Lasagna to Broccoli Cheddar Beans with Crispy Cheddar Panko and Upside-Down Pineapple Coconut Cake will satisfy cravings and inspire confidence in the kitchen, regardless of your skill level. With personality-packed chapters such as Egg-Stravaganza, Nosh & Nibble, Salad Days, and Veg Out, everyone will find something to enjoy.
Full of gorgeous photography and heartwarming stories about Carolina’s Romanian family, Pass the Plate will bring comfort to your kitchen and have friends and family asking for seconds.
