Baked by Melissa is back with her new cookbook!
Melissa Ben-Ishay is back with her highly anticipated new book, COME EAT: 100 Nourishing Recipes to Eat Every Day – a vibrant, flavor-packed collection of delicious, nutritious meals that make it easy to nourish your family every day.
“Food – and the recipes in this book – are all about bringing the people you love most together around the table. It’s about creating time and building connections. [But] after a long day at work, I don’t want to spend hours making dinner, so I’ve mastered the recipes that come together quickly that everyone in my family loves,” writes Melissa.
Packed with stunning photography and colorful, mouthwatering recipes that focus on fresh produce and big flavors, COME EAT features a variety of Melissa’s favorite weekly go-to recipes, from lunch to dinner to dessert – and all the snacks, sides, tips and tricks in between.
With helpful tips and easy-to-follow instructions, Melissa shows you how to easily adapt meals for your family, from breaking down the components of the perfect salad to making soup with ingredients you have on hand. Whether you’re a novice cook eager to gain confidence in the kitchen or a seasoned pro looking to save time and effort, Come Eat makes creating and planning meals easy every day—one perfect bite at a time.
Melissa Ben-Ishay is the New York Times bestselling author of Come Hungry and CEO of Baked by Melissa, a New York-based dessert company known for its bite-size cupcakes. Since 2008, Baked by Melissa has celebrated more than one million birthdays across the country and is recognized nationally for its premium gifts for every occasion. In addition to the cupcake empire, Melissa has built an engaged social community in recent years inspired by her food philosophy: if you get your nourishment from mealtime, you can absolutely indulge in dessert every day.
