KC & Koko Holiday Digital Cookbook

If you’ve been here for a while, then you know that my amazing husband is also a chef. Needless to say, between the two of us, our kitchen pretty much always smells incredible. Because cooking comfort food is a passion we share, last year, we finally collaborated to create the cookbook of our dreams. 

Our holiday cookbook was so fun to make and SO well-received by you guys. Naturally, we knew we had to expand on it to bring you an even more in-depth holiday cookbook for 2021!
