Dearest Valley newlyweds and fiscally-responsible foodies, we know it can be a struggle to feed your caviar taste on a cup o’ noodles budget. Which is why we were so excited to discover this new cookbook by Phoenix resident, Jaclyn Douma. Named Our First Year, it contains a 75 savory recipes specifically designed with young couples in mind.
As a newlywed herself, Jaclyn knew she wanted to organize a book with helpful tips, party suggestions and many of her favorite recipes for couples who cannot necessarily afford (or make) Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon. Invest here.
Post Script: Contrary to what the extremely progressive image suggests, we do expect that couples will (try to) cook together… Perhaps in less formal attire sweats.
