I’ve been waiting to formally announce this forever.
It’s been two years that I’ve kept it to myself, but two years feels like forever.
I wrote a second cookbook called Cooking With Pumpkin: Recipes That Go Beyond the Pie.
About a month after I finished writing Peanut Butter Comfort in late 2012 I was contacted about writing a pumpkin recipes book.
I don’t know whether I was insane or just thought I was superwoman to say yes coming off the heels of one book and literally jumping right into the next. But I said yes and spent the remainder of 2012 and early 2013 writing Cooking with Pumpkin.
Although I was done writing it in the spring of 2013, I just missed the cutoff to have it ready for a fall 2013 launch. No one launches a pumpkin book at any time other than the fall because it would make no seasonal sense, so I waited. Another year.
Now, finally, the fall is upon us and my book is here! It’s available for pre-order on Amazon! It will be in stores like Barnes and Noble and Costco starting October 6, 2014.
The book is filled with over 50 of my favorite pumpkin recipes, and nearly every recipe has a glossy image accompanying it. I did all my own interior photography as well as the cover.
While there are plenty of desserts and sweeter treats, there’s also a savory chapter and a drinks chapter.
Some of my favorite recipes include:
Pumpkin Monkey Bread with Caramel Glaze
Fudgy Pumpkin Brownies with Fudgy Ganache
Pumpkin-Spice Latte
Bourbon Pumpkin Ice Cream with Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Chunks
Pumpkin Chipotle Hummus
Chocolaty Pumpkin Hot Chocolate
Cheesy Baked Pumpkin Mac ‘n’ Cheese
Vegan Coconut Oil Pumpkin Muffins
Soft Buttery Pumpkin Pretzels
Pumpkin Buttermilk Pancakes with Vanilla Maple Butter
Hello Dolly Seven-Layers-Of-Magic Pumpkin Bars
Nutella-Swirled Pumpkin Muffins
Whew. And there’s about 40 more. It’s surreal looking back at these photos because some I took nearly 2 years ago and now, finally, I can show them to you.
Looking back I don’t know how I made 50 different recipes using pumpkin, but I did and pumpkin lovers, you’re going to be in your glory.
I would greatly, greatly appreciate your support. Please head over to Amazon, spend $13 bucks, and purchase your copy of the book. Thank you so very much!! I know I have the best blog readers out there! Thank you all!
I thought you had mentioned this before … maybe I just knew in my head you’d write a pumpkin cookbook :) At any rate, congratulations, Averie! If you have any copies for review or giveaway for a blog rollout, I’d love to be a part of it.
Wow, congratulations! Sounds like an amazing cookbook! Perfect timing, just before the fall season arrives :)
Congrats on your new cookbook, Averie! That is so exciting! I can’t wait for it to come out, as baking with pumpkin is my all-time favorite!
Congratulations Averie! Your peanut butter cookbook is amazing, and I know this one will be, too! You’re making me so hungry with all of these amazing pumpkin recipes. Can’t wait!!!
Yay Averie! Although I’m not mentally ready to think about pumpkin yet … but baking with pumpkin is one of my favorites and you have some fun and different ideas.
Okay you ARE wonder woman! I don’t know how you create so much amazing content on your blog all while creating such a stunning book! Seriously this is so cool. Congrats Averie! :)
Yay. That’s awesome. I”m sure it’s a ton of working but so gratifying. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.
Have an amazing week Averie!
Tons and tons like you can’t even imagine but yes so gratifying! Thanks, Melanie!
Congrats!!!!! Can’t wait…love your first book and no doubt the 2nd will be just as amazing. Preordered.
Thanks for your support and your preorder, Marti!!!
I have Peanut Butter Comfort and I’m a big fan, so you know I’ll be buying this one too! Great preview!
Thanks, Mir, for your support!
congratulations, Averie! From what you’ve shown, this looks like an incredible collection of recipes. I’ll definitely check it out. :)
Thank you, Maryea!
Congratulations Averie!! I am thrilled for you and can’t wait to get a copy. I love the main ingredient so I’m excited to see what else you’ve created. The preview photos are beautiful…it’s going to be difficult to decide what to make first but the hummus and ice cream look especially interesting. Yours will be the 3rd book I’ve pre ordered on Amazon with an October release date so I’ll have plenty of reading coming my way!!
Oh gosh, now I want to know the other two! I have two other blog friends, Dorothy and Jessica (or maybe hers is late Sept) with books coming out soon. At any rate, thank you for the vote of confidence, Paula, and as always your support is always appreciated so much!
I love pumpkin pie but haven’t really ventured into a lot of other areas. I guess I’ve been a little ignorant when it comes to using pumpkins in other ways. Wow I’m not covered for everything pumpkin!
OMG…what an awesome cook book! Lucky I just purchased 5 cans of pumpkin :-) Congratulations on the book!
Congrats Averie!! I LOVE pumpkin and I know that this is going to be one FAB book! So excited for you….and very impressed you kept it under wraps!
Well done Averie! You definitely know your recipes with pumpkin, so this book would be great success too. I am addict to pumpkin now that is winter in Australia; so I am keen to see what you come up with.
How exciting…congratulations…I don’t know how you kept it quiet for so long I would be bursting at the seams…I love pumpkin and I have to tell you with football back in the month of August I’m so ready for fall and everything pumpkin..definitely buying this book…congratulations again…so many great recipes to try.
Thanks, Lisa, and I appreciate your support and yes there were many times I wanted to just spill the beans but held off until it was at least on Amazon pre-order :)
