Summary

"100 free-spirited, comforting recipes for Southern-style dishes made with love from the social media icon behind LilyLouTay. Hannah Taylor is a culinary creator from Georgia known for her Southern charm, wholesome personality, and carefree, "measure with your heart" cooking content. When Hannah began sharing her experimental cooking projects online, her platform exploded with support for her wild personality and chaotic cooking style. Hannah eyeballs ingredients and improvises recipes in her videos on social media, and her debut cookbook embraces this playful side of cooking. Infused with Hannah's unapologetically unpolished energy, Measure with Your Heart encourages you to trust your instincts in the kitchen. Hannah didn't start cooking until later in life, but she didn't let unfamiliarity deter her. She just went for it: She wasn't afraid to try things out and get her hands dirty. Now she proudly feeds her kids homemade dishes with almost everything made from scratch. Hannah has found her way in the kitchen by trusting her instincts and embracing imperfection, and she wants to give her readers the confidence to do the same (because confidence is sexy!). Measure with Your Heart is filled with Hannah's twists on classic Southern cooking, with an emphasis on making everything from scratch so you know exactly what's in it. Try your hand at Hannah's homemade versions of kitchen staples like Vanilla Extract or Beef Bone Broth. Bring some warmth to your dinner table with mains like Finger Lickin' Fried Chicken, Butternut Squash Casserole, and Ham Hock Lima Bean Stew. Serve up Aunt Teisha's Cowboy Caviar or Mini Pizza Pops at your next gathering alongside a Strawberry Sip N' Spritz. Featuring 120 gorgeous photographs, Measure with Your Heart has ideas for sweet and savory breakfasts, drinks and appetizers, and even snacks for your kids (and pups!), so get in the kitchen and try things out. If you totally mess up, even better! For Hannah, home cooking is not about being perfect--it's about having fun and nourishing the ones you love"--
