Writing The Balanced Plate was such a fulfilling journey, and I honestly poured my heart into every page. But if you know me, you know I’m always dreaming, always experimenting, always chasing the next flavor adventure. So here we are, book two is officially in the works! The Spiced Plate Cookbook!
I’m so excited to share that my next cookbook is called The Spiced Plate – Savor the Spice of Global Cuisine. This one takes everything I love about food, flavor, culture, color, and creativity, and brings it all together in one bold, beautiful collection.
This book is all about spices and how they can transform everyday ingredients into unforgettable meals. We’ll explore robust, fragrant dishes inspired by cuisines from all over the world, Mediterranean, Moroccan, Asian, European, Caribbean, and more. I’ve been diving into spice markets, family traditions, and global recipes, experimenting with blends and combinations that create depth and excitement without overcomplicating things.
Just like The Balanced Plate, this new book stays true to my love for wholesome, accessible cooking. It’s filled with exciting meals and unexpected flavor combinations that will keep your kitchen feeling fresh and inspired. Because healthy food should never be boring, it should surprise you, satisfy you, and make you want to share it with everyone at your table. I’m also planning some exciting things beyond the book, virtual events, collaborations with fellow food lovers, and maybe even a few in-person pop-ups or retreats. There’s a lot in motion, and I can’t wait to bring you along for the ride.
So, if The Balanced Plate was about finding balance, The Spiced Plate is about bringing the fire. It’s about exploring the world through your spice rack and making your kitchen feel like a passport for new experiences.
Thank you for being here. For reading, cooking, sharing, and supporting me through this journey. Your messages and feedback have meant everything, and they keep me inspired to keep creating.
Stay tuned, there’s so much more coming, and I promise, it’s going to be delicious.
