Lights, digicam, motion! Let me take you behind the scenes once more.
Since I shared my final replace, I’ve been onerous at work on my cookbook manuscript. My cookbook is predicted to launch in 2025. Listed here are two posts I shared about my manuscript course of to this point:
Along with my cookbook, I’ve been doing about 1 billion different issues like testing and publishing recipes on my web site, planning forward for vacation baking season, and doing a pair intense weeklong recipe video shoots in my residence kitchen. (Which I’m exhibiting you under!)
All whereas making an attempt to run an organization and stability that with my kids, household, and different elements of my life… and one way or the other keep wholesome and sane!
I most likely wouldn’t have the ability to handle all of it, if not for the great folks I’ve supporting and surrounding me. My unimaginable husband, hardworking workforce, and gifted video crew… plus the opposite creators and authors I join with frequently, and, after all, my readers! Studying all of the heartfelt messages I obtain from you provides me a lot pleasure and achievement, and really provides me the power I must hold creating. I discuss this a bit within the “About” video we filmed throughout this video shoot—extra on this under!
Recipe Video Shoot
This previous spring, we as soon as once more remodeled my residence kitchen right into a video set to movie a recent batch of recipe tutorials to share with you. We truly simply did this once more final week, too, and I’ll present you these behind the scenes quickly!
Filming 20+ recipe movies in only a few days requires lots of people, numerous work, numerous planning forward and group, and, after all, numerous meals! Fortunately, it’s a large crew of individuals with loads of hungry buddies, household, and neighbors who cease over to see the motion.
We filmed a wide range of walk-you-through-the-recipe tutorials in addition to “fingers and pans”-style recipe movies. I additionally had the crew put collectively an “About” video, to briefly share the story behind my profession and web site. I added this to my website’s About web page.

Every little thing is filmed in my residence kitchen, the place I do most of my skilled work… and, after all, prepare dinner and bake with/for my household.

Even with all the planning and other people round, some issues can nonetheless go improper! Filming a cultured, seamless video for French Silk Pie was fairly the other off display screen. The chocolate curls saved breaking up underneath the warmth of the lights, so I needed to apply the fragile chocolate curls with tweezers. LOL.
It turned out fairly although! However then I dropped the slice off the pie server…
Oftentimes, recipes must bake and utterly cool, or chill within the fridge, so we’re normally doing 2 or 3 movies at a time, weaving in steps and scenes the place we are able to.
Blooper Reel
It’s onerous work and lengthy days for everybody, however I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t additionally enjoyable. Lately are intense, however they’re additionally crammed with a lot laughter. The video crew even compiled a number of the humorous moments they caught on digicam. LOL.
