I picked out my ring and like 26 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't like a huge secret. But I was very 27 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: surprised with what he did when he proposed love that. 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: Honestly, that's like the most rational and wonderful answer. Like 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,919 Speaker 2: anyone that's truly surprised by an engagement, I'm a little 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 2: concern typically, So exactly, I had the discussions up front. Okay, 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: and your fance's name is Corey, yes, hell else, how 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: you guys met. 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: So we actually went to college together. We went to 34 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: San Diego State, but we weren't really friends at all. 35 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: We had mutual friends, and we followed each other on Instagram. 36 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: So I have a personal Instagram now I have my 37 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: food one with this was like back in the day 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: before I started my account, I just had my personal 39 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: Instagram page. So we'd been following each other and he 40 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: was living in Brooklyn at the time, and I did 41 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: a salad collab with this place called Alfalfa in Santa Monica. 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: So he did like a little collab and they had 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: a picture of me in Alfalfa and he was visiting 44 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: his friend in Santa Monica and saw me in Alfalfa 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: and saw my salad and was like, Oh, my gosh, 46 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I know this girl. We went to college together. So 47 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: he sent me a message and I just so happened 48 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: to be visiting Brooklyn for my friend's birthday party like 49 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: the next weekend, and he was living there, so I 50 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, we have to get together and get drinks. 51 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: We haven't seen each other in a while, so it 52 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: was very casual the first time we met, and then 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: he was thinking about moving to LA, so we kind 54 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: of coordinated a weekend where he'd come and visit, and 55 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: then things just kind of blossomed from there, which was 56 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: so nice because I was dating in LA for a 57 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: while before or we rekindled, and it's like, it's just 58 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: so nice meeting someone when you kind of we already 59 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: have mutual friends. People can vouch for him and be like, Okay, 60 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: this guy's like a crazy weirdo. You know what I mean, Yes, 61 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: I do. 62 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 2: I think that's one of the scariest things about dating 63 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: as an adult is that I feel like everybody I knew, 64 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: whether it was college or high school, it's just had 65 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: you knew their background, you knew the people that they knew, 66 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: you knew their family life or whatever. And now you 67 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: just meet people off the street and it's like they 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: could be anybody. So I totally get that there's probably 69 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: like a sense of familiarity with that that just feels 70 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: so much more safe and comfortable to get to know somebody. 71 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: But that's amazing. And so now you're both in La. 72 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: I'm guessing yes, we live together in LA. 73 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: We're on the West Side. It's amazing nice. I love that. 74 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: Okay, And I know you've been living the auntie life 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: for years now.

That is so wild. 173 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: And when did you find most of your growth was 174 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: kind of in those early stages or did you find 175 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 2: that when Reels started you started to get way more 176 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 2: attraction And is that kind of what has allowed you 177 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: to create the cookbook? Like when did that massive traction 178 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: really start to come into your world? 179 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: So it was definitely a gradual build In the beginning. 180 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: It was very slow. I started out and I really 181 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: wasn't thinking it would ever be a career. I more so, 182 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: like Amanda was getting like col PR pack and I'm like, ooh, 183 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: I would like a PR package, or I would like 184 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: a cool brand to like send me some maybe some 185 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: free food or something like that. So the first I 186 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: would say, like year and a half, I was just 187 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, posting for fun. I would get like a 188 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: couple brand deals here and there, like people would pay 189 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: me like fifty bucks or whatever for a post, and 190 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: I was like all excited. But I would definitely say 191 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: when video started to become a thing, so like, even 192 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: within the past like two years, being able to post 193 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: reels and though you know so many more people can 194 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: have their eyes on your content, that helped me grow 195 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: a ton. So taking advantage of that has been amazing. 196 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: I've grown way more in the past few years than 197 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: I did the first like five years they started. 198 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: How did you pivot from going pictures only into video 199 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 2: because I feel like I've heard you say that you 200 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: kind of tried to cater to what people wanted and 201 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: you wanted to post like really aesthetic things and then 202 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: you're like, wait, people are really just here for the recipes. 203 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: And what I really like about your recipes is that 204 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: they're seemingly like quite simple. You know, it's overly complicated, 205 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: but at the same time, if you go to your page, 206 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 2: it is very aesthetic. So how did you like find 207 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: the balance of doing like having the aesthetic page but 208 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 2: also really just staying authentic to what was true to 209 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: you and your like cooking style. 210 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: It's a great question. So I think just it's really 211 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: like practice makes perfect. Nobody really knows what they're doing. 212 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone has ever been like trained on 213 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: how to I mean maybe nowadays, who knows like how 214 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: to grow a business? On Instagram? I feel like most 215 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: of us are kind of just posting things, seeing what work, 216 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: and then leaning more in that direction. So I'm always 217 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 1: paying attention to the videos that are performing well, the 218 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: types of recipes people want to see, constantly interacting with 219 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: my community, seeing what they're liking, seeing what they're not liking, 220 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: and adapting and going from there. So really taking your 221 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: audience in your community and putting them first. And then 222 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, the more you do it, the better you 223 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: get at it. If you look at some of my 224 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: first reels, they're so bad, like so terrible. No one again, 225 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: no one is training you, no one is showing you 226 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: how to do any of this, and it's fine. We're 227 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: all in the same boat. If you talk to anyone, 228 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: they've all been like, oh yeah, when I first started out, 229 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: I didn't know how to do this. You just have 230 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: to keep going practice, see what people are liking, see 231 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: what's'reforming well, see what looks good, and eventually you're you know, 232 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: you'll be a pro. No one will even know that 233 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: you had no idea what you were doing at. 234 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 2: One point exactly. And I think another thing that I 235 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: feel like so many people strugg what is feeling that 236 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: social media and content creation is so oversaturated. But I 237 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 2: think it's just so cool because you literally started. It 238 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: was after the time that your sister's on the show, 239 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: so it wasn't like you gained a following from that. 240 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: You really just started and put in hard work and 241 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: people just loved you for being you and what it 242 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 2: was that you brought to the table. And I think 243 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: that's such a testament because it is oversaturated, like social 244 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: media and content creation, there's so many people doing it, 245 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 2: but it's really cool to see how you've just exploded 246 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: and like built so much based around cooking and your 247 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 2: background is kind of like health and nutrition based is 248 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: that right? Is that kind of what has inspired some 249 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 2: of a lot of your recipes. 250 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. So, well, first, I will say in twenty seventeen, 251 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: when I started my account, everyone was like, it's oversaturated. 252 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: There's way too many food bloggers out there. So if 253 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: anyone is like wanting to get started and people are 254 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: saying it's too oversaturated, I would just do it because 255 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: I feel like people are always saying that. If I 256 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: would have listened that into that seventeen and not done it, 257 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: I would have been very disappointed. But to your question, 258 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: I studied kinesiology at San Diego State with an emphasis 259 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: in fitness, health and nutrition. So at first I was 260 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 1: doing absolutely nothing with that. I was doing real estate, 261 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know, I'm gonna leave my 262 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: passions behind. I've always been very into fitness and nutrition, 263 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: so that is like more like my passion is what 264 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: I studied in college, but I pivoted after because I 265 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 1: just really wanted to study nine to five job and 266 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: I wasn't finding that within what I was passionate about. 267 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, then I started my account on the side 268 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: kind of just again as like a passion project, a 269 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: little bit of a hobby and I've always been I've 270 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: always loved food and cooking, so that was the hobby 271 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: side of it, and then I was always really interested. 272 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: I would see a recipe maybe that wasn't as healthy, 273 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: and I'd be like, Oh, I want to make that. 274 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: That sounds really good, but I know that it's probably 275 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: going to make me feel not so good later, and 276 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: I want to be able to eat this on a 277 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: regular basis. And I would start playing around with swapping 278 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: the ingredients and seeing how I could kind of like 279 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: adapt certain meals that I wanted to eat and make 280 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: them a little bit healthier, more nutritious for you, and 281 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, so you can eat them more often. I 282 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: love that. 283 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: Actually, I have your book coming, but I need to 284 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: really learn from it because my brother's biggest complaint from 285 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 2: me is that I will always try to make like 286 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: a really good recipe healthier or more nutritious, and he 287 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: does not like to eat my cooking because I will. 288 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: I will sacrifice the enjoyment or like the taste, and 289 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my god, it's so good, but in 290 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: reality it's probably not. So I really will need to 291 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: quite literally take a page out of your book when 292 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: it arrives because I do value that as well, where 293 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: it's like you want it to be nutritious and you 294 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: want to be able to enjoy it frequently, but you 295 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: don't want to have to sacrifice like your entire health 296 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: to able to enjoy the eating. 297 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say the recipes in the book kind 298 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: of go back and forth between and being you know, 299 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: healthy and nutritious, and then some are honestly very indulgent. 300 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: There's like an amazing chocolate cake recipe. There's a you know, 301 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: some recipes with like a ton of butter, the like 302 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: whatever it is, and it's it's you can have it 303 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: all and still have a really healthy lifestyle, which is 304 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: something that I always like to promote. Like on the weekends, 305 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: I am eating genuinely like whatever I want, I don't 306 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: really care what it is. But usually Monday through Friday, 307 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: I'm eating a lot healthier. I'm still enjoying my food. 308 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: But I kind of have just this very balanced approach 309 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: to life and it genuinely works. And that's what I 310 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: learned in school too, when I was in my nutrition classes, 311 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: Like people are like you can have butter and mayonnaise 312 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: and all these things, they're not necessarily bad for you, 313 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: they're they're fine in moderation. And that's just the key 314 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: to life, to anything, is you know, you've got to 315 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: just do it in moderation. And if you're you know, 316 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: enjoying yourself on the weekends, like this past weekend, I 317 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: made the carnatis from the cookbook for a bunch of 318 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: friends and we all we had like a big taco bar. 319 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: And then the next day for dinner, I was like, Okay, 320 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: I'm craving genuinely a salad, Like that sounds really good 321 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: to me. I want something a little bit lighter. So 322 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: when you're really like listening to your body and tuning 323 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: in to what it's telling you, it makes those healthy 324 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: decisions just so much easier. 325 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 2: That's so awesome. And I think you're so spot on 326 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 2: with that as to it really being like moderation and 327 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 2: balance is the key to life, Like no matter what 328 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: it is, whether it's eating, fitness, drinking and like indulging 329 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: whatever it is, like balance should be the goal.

Wow, that's so exciting. And how 359 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 2: long have you been working on the cookbook? 360 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: So I started working on it in twenty twenty one, 361 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: so a very long time ago. That's when I very 362 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: first started like thinking about it, trying to have like 363 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: what I wanted to be in the book, the types 364 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: of recipes, the feel of it. So that's when I 365 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: really started like thinking about it working on it, and 366 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: then I come up with a proposal, and then that's 367 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 1: when I found my literary agent, and we worked on 368 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: the proposal, and you know, the outline of the whole book, 369 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: and then you go out to the publishers and there's 370 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: like an auction for it. It's just this whole crazy process. 371 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: This even before you start actually writing the book and 372 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: working on it, and then it takes like a year 373 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: to write it and do all the recipes, and then 374 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: I shot all the photos for it like a year 375 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: ago actually, So then once all the recipes are done, 376 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 1: you have to have someone to test them all and 377 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: edit them, and then you go in and do a 378 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: full photo shoot of all the recipes, which is so 379 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: much fun, and then it takes a year to like 380 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: edit it and put it all together, and then now 381 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: here we are. 382 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: I feel like I have to know how do you 383 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 2: shoot all of the recipes? 384 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: Like do you go in? 385 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 2: Is it multiple days that you go in and you 386 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 2: cook all these meals and have them perfectly presented? Like 387 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 2: I need to know, Okay, I'll tell you everything. 388 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: It's actually such a fun, cool process that I didn't 389 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: know about before I had written a book, so I 390 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: didn't cook anything, which was very nice. You hire a 391 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: food stylist, so someone comes in that's a professional at 392 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: cooking the food and making them look beautiful. So there's 393 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: a food stylist. Then you have a prop stylist, so 394 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: that is someone that comes in with When you look 395 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: through the book, you'll see like really cute like little 396 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: forks and the bowl that it comes in in the 397 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 1: linens and the background we actually shot. Besides, there's some 398 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: photos in my home, but the actual just food photos 399 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: were shot in like an airbnb, like in the living room, 400 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: so it was like a makeshift little studio that we had, 401 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: so they're all just like on a surface that the 402 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: prop stylist brings in all the different colors. It is 403 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: so insane. It's really really cool though, Like it's such 404 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: a fun job. So yeah, comes in with all the 405 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: little props, and then there's the photographer that shoots it all. 406 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: So I pretty much was like the creative director of 407 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: it all. I just got to stand around and be 408 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: like that looks good, that doesn't look good, which was 409 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: so much fun because I'm so used to like being 410 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: the one in the kitchen like doing everything, So that 411 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: was like a really fun process. And the whole thing 412 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: took like two weeks to shoot because there's one hundred recipes. 413 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: Okay, so oh my, so multiple recipes a day. So 414 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 2: do Steff basically cook a meal, present it, and then 415 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 2: everybody else styles it and then gets back in the 416 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: kitchen starts cooking the next meal. 417 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. That is so wild that. 418 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: When I was thinking about this interview, I was like, 419 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 2: oh my god, that's like my biggest question. I know, 420 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: it sounds so silly, a bizarre process to have to 421 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 2: think about how you present each of those meals. I 422 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 2: was thinking it had to have taken months to get done, 423 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 2: but I guess you guys just had like a powerhouse 424 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: of people making it happen. 425 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: Yes, they just crank it out. And the food stylist 426 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: and she had an assistant as well. They like I 427 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: would say, like at least five days before the shoot 428 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: were like prepping everything, having everything ready to go. So 429 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: once it was time to cook it all, they liked 430 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: it had everything ready. I got in the kitchen. But yeah, 431 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: it was a really really cool, exciting process, and it 432 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: was so fun to be the one person that was 433 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: just like directing it all for once. Like I was like, 434 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: oh this is I can just sit back and watch 435 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 1: everything come to life. It was. It was so much fun. 436 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: That's so cool. 437 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: And I know, obviously this is so new and it's 438 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 2: hard to probably even think about what's next. But I'm curious, 439 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: like where do you see your career going after the 440 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 2: tour and after the book has been out for a 441 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: little bit, Like what is on the horizon? 442 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I want to write another book, Like it's 443 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: so funny.
