Her passion, grit, and love for food melts off each page, and the recipes are a rare and welcome combination of simple and drool-worthy. I can't wait to make every single one!

From the root of the 'pass the plate' phrase born around the small table in Romania where she grew up to diving head-first into the food industry in her first year in the U.S. her new adopted home. Quickly spotted by The New York Times and Food 52, the eyes of foodies were on Gelen. From breakfast, lunch, and dinner, to 'nosh & nibbles' and desserts, her debut book has a recipe100 of themfor everyone. And that personality we know and love on the screen shines through each and every page.

Carolina's Pass the Plate is a must-have for all food lovers. Her talent shines on every page of the book as she brings exciting, innovative ideas and flavor to the table. Carolina's recipes are unique, yet she keeps the recipes highly approachable and extremely cookable for all levels of cooks. I am certain that readers will fall in love with cooking all over again as they cook their way through Carolina's first masterpiece.

In a world where many people just do the same thing over and over again, Carolina Gelen, her recipes, and now her debut cookbook do the exact opposite. I am constantly blown away not only by her creativity but also by how each and every recipe I've made from her is perfectly done. Her flavor combinations are unmatched. Her techniques are flawless. Her imagination knows no bounds. I would do anything to be her neighbor. Trust me when I tell you that this book will be your new favorite!

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.

[Gelen's] recipes always make me think about food in a new way, and her cookbook is no exception. . . . From a sesame-crusted breakfast quesadilla to a cardamom-scented upside-down cake, nearly every single recipe in this book caught my eye. I can't wait to cook through the whole thing.

Carolina's like your favorite cooking teacher, bringing warmth and expertise into your kitchen. With a focus on doable, yet extraordinary recipes, she unlocks a world of flavor you never knew existed.

Pass the Plate will be useful for both new cooks and experienced ones who fall into idea ruts every so often. It's an approachable and highly usable book that suggests that Gelen has much more going for her as a recipe developer than her social media following alone.
