If you spend much time on Mel's website, you come to feel like she's your favorite neighbor down the street! She has so many recipes that have become family favorites. I was so excited when her cookbook came out--it's the treasure of my collection.

Mel has never failed me! It is the only cookbook I use and it is used frequently!! It is organized and easy to follow! And it has the best recipes!!

Brina A.

I love the cookbook! Gorgeous pictures, great instructions, and you know every recipe is a winner. Love knowing which are Mel’s favorites and which are fan favorites too. It’s my favorite cookbook!

Laura O.

Mel’s cookbook is a treasure! I have confidence knowing that whatever recipe I choose to make from it, it will be delicious. I have been using recipes from her website for years and was thrilled when many were compiled into a physical cookbook. Mel’s recipes have helped give me confidence in cooking for my family and I am so grateful!

Callie H.

This is my most used cookbook! Every recipe is a winner and all the pages have stains from repeated use. It is also really beautiful and well organized. 10/10

Your cookbook permanently lives on my cookbook stand. It’s very rare that I pull out another book these days.

Alyssa C.

Best cookbook ever!! It has replaced every other cookbook I own. And it even gets to live on the counter instead of in the unreachable cabinet above the microwave!that is a big compliment in my kitchen. It is that loved and used! Such good pictures with great directions , full of recipes a normal family with small children will actually eat and love!

Christy B.

When the cookbook came out, I told my mom specifically that this is what I wanted for my birthday. And then I gave one to my mother-in-law who also loves it. It’s got such solid recipes in it, and whenever I make something from it, my daughter compliments dinner (or dessert, or whatever it is). Then I tell her it’s a recipe from my cookbook, and she says, “Of course! Mel has the best recipes.”

Clare G.

I absolutely love this cookbook! All four of my kids have requested their own copy! That’s how much it’s loved in our family.

Robyn T.

This is the first cookbook I grab whenever I need inspiration. If my kids know something is a Mel recipe, they believe it's going to be delicious before even tasting it! Definitely my most used cookbook, and frequently gifted to others!

Amy E.

For a while, I continued to use the website and keep my cookbook pristine, a trophy on my shelf. But then I cracked it open and have been cooking my way through it - it now has specks of flour and oil drops and splatters, and the real trophy is all of the incredible food the cookbook has helped me make. It is so well loved, thank you!!

COOKBOOK FAQ

What are the domestic shipping costs?

When you checkout with your cookbook order, shipping will be calculated based on your address and which shipping service you choose. The shipping fee includes: the weight of shipping (including packaging) + fulfillment handling fee. I am not pocketing any of the shipping fees - it all goes toward shipping and handling.

Can the cookbook be shipped internationally?

Because I'm a small business, sourcing affordable International shipping rates is exceedingly difficult! Currently, at checkout, the only International options are to ship to Canada.

UPDATE: originally it was calculating a crazy high shipping rate to Canada (almost $80). I was able to find a way to ship the books for around $38 USD - and decided that I will cover half of that cost and charge a flat rate of $18.99 USD to ship to Canada so that my Canadian readers can have access to this book. Keep in mind that as an international customer, you'll likely be required to pay customs to receive the package.

If you'd like a shipping quote for any other location, please email shop@melskitchencafe.com. Thank you for your patience and understanding with my small business.

Can I purchase multiple books and have them sent to different addresses?

If you'd like to send books to multiple people, each book will need to be ordered separately.

Does the book include new recipes or existing recipes?

The cookbook is loaded with tons of tried-and-true recipes. Because the book is meant to be a timeless anthem to my most-loved and most-made recipes, it includes many existing recipes. But there are also brand, new recipes in the book that I cannot wait for you to try (it’s been so hard not telling you about them already – spoiler alert: the most amazing chicken tacos you’ll ever meet and a new brownie recipe that is wow, wow, wow!).
