THE PRETTY DISH

From prolific blogger Jessica Merchant comes a playful cookbook dishing advice on the best recipes and natural beauty remedies, including party ideas and playlists to jam out to while you cook.

Jessica Merchant is like your most reliable girlfriend - that is, if your girlfriend was a passionate cook and serious beauty junkie. With her second book, she brings her signature playfulness to the page. It's filled with 150 brand-new recipes, along with themed menus, party ideas, killer playlists, and inventive beauty projects.

She's the extra hand guiding you in the kitchen giving you the most inventive pizza toppings (crispy kale and summer corn), showing you how to make hibiscus blueberry mint juleps, and telling you the coolest way to make an avocado face mask while you plan your weekly menu on Saturday morning. All her recipes are deliciously indulgent (think: poke tacos, toasted quinoa chocolate bark, pistachio iced latte) and all take 60 minutes or less to make.


Jessica Merchant is a full-time recipe developer and writer who happens to be crazy passionate about all things food. She is the author of Seriously Delish, and details her adventures in and out of the kitchen on her popular blog, How Sweet Eats, which is read by millions. She lives in Pittsburgh, PA with her family.
