By Heart: Recipes to Hold Near and Dear

Such a beautiful cookbook. Not only are the recipes fantastic, but also Hailee’s stories are so well-written and engaging. There’s a lot of veg-focussed or fully vegetarian recipes in the book which works so well for me!

Very pleased!

Love Haley and recipes were good - however very USA centric and many ingredients are not readily available in the UK. Personal preference but also wish there were a few more meat dishes. Good overall :)

I love Hailey, she’s the sweetest and her book is just like her. I tried a few recipes, everything turned out delicious as I was expecting. If you follow her, you already know how professional she is and the restaurant type of food she makes. The book has a personal touch, I appreciate that she opened up to us a bit. The book is well balanced and has a good variety of type of recipes. It’s just as good for a Tuesday night meal, a special gathering or a picknik.

I’ve been a fan and follower of Hailee Catalano through her blog/Instagram for years. Every single recipe of hers I’ve made has been delicious, approachable and comforting. Truly, she’s the only food influencer who I trust to deliver every single time. So when I saw this book was coming out, I preordered immediately - it was a no-brainer. By Heart is exactly what I expected, in the BEST way. So many fantastic recipes, helpful tips and gorgeous art and photography. I’ve made five recipes so far and all of them have been delicious (the Cannoli Crunch Ice Cream Cake and Mushy Pea Pasta Salad are highlights for me). I love the tone of voice in Hailee’s narration of her videos and it absolutely comes through in print. And the introduction is so heartfelt and genuine, it’s a must-read. I can’t wait to cook through the rest of this book.

I discovered Hailee through Instagram and love the Friday Night Dinners with her equally talented partner Chuck. This cookbook is visually and conceptually stunning, yet approachable and Hailee really has a gift for teaching in a generous and straightforward way. So far I made Tina’s Meatballs (twice, they are Hailee’s Meatballs in my household now) the Carrot rigatoni, the seeded rye bread (twice!), a chicken broth, the mustardy potatoes and the cauliflower rice and chicken soup. Oh, I also toasted my fresh pepper before putting it into the mill and it does make it super nice. A great cookbook for cooks of all levels that I will reach for many, many times more. Delightful!

The recipes in this book look great and easy to make. I noticed some typos in the text, but overall it's quite beautiful
