In exactly 1 month from when this episode airs, I’ll be waking up as a married lady for the first morning ever! So I figured right now’s the perfect time to share my chat with a couple who is couple goals to the MAX. Sonja and Alex Overhiser, known on the interwebs as A Couple Cooks, are a writer and photographer duo behind the award-nominated food blog, A Couple Cooks, and the co-authors of the inspiring (to me as a soon to be also author) cookbook, Pretty Simple Cooking, which was named one of the “best vegetarian cookbooks” by Epicurious. And which lives on the SPECIAL FAVORITE COOKBOOKS section of my cookbook library, I’d like to add. Their plant-forward approach to eating and their joy-filled approach to cooking, mixed with their humble approach to love is what makes this couple pretty simply awesome. It was tricky tricky business scheduling this interview with BOTH Sonja and Alex but I just couldn’t settle one half of the couple cooks and I’m so thrilled I get to share both of them with you today! I’m also thrilled I got to pick their brain about kitchen tools to register for before it was too late. Mmhm, listen up!

 

Get excited to hear:
