- My cookbook editor, Susan, sent me a message
letting me know that there is a package coming in the mail,
but she wouldn't tell me what it was.
All she said was, have the cameras rolling when I open it.
So I don't know what this is.
I've gotten my hopes up already.
Let's find out what's in the box, okay?
All right, let's do this, because I can't wait any longer.
There we go.
(upbeat music)
I'm like shaking, because I hope my son weighed the box
and he's all this weighs close to a certain cookbook
that I have.
Maybe it's it.
So we'll see, we are all very suspicious.
Ooh, oh, it's double wrapped.
Look at that.
Very cute.
Seriously, a little shaky.
"Dear Natasha, congratulations, you did it.
Here's the first copy of your beautiful book,
(Natasha laughs)
hot off the Press.
What an honor it's been to accompany you on this journey.
Love Susan."
Hold it together, hold it together.
(paper crackles)
This is wild, okay?
(dramatic drum roll)
(Natasha laughs)
Oh my gosh.
This is surreal.
You know what?
I've never shown you guys the back of the book
or the side of the book,
so this is also very new and exciting
for all of us.
Oh, I'm crying a little bit.
Okay, here we go.
Here's the front and the side.
So beautiful, so beautiful.
And the back.
Every bit of this cookbook was hard.
Every little bit of it was like building a house.
I mean, all the little decisions that went into it
which recipes to put on the back.
I'm gonna be staring at this for hours today.
Scared to open it.
I have to let my kids see this too,
because their pictures are in this book.
(Natasha giggles)
Oh my gosh.
Just can't wait to dig into this.
This is such a special day.
I'm gonna pull it together
enough to also tell you some good news.
The launch date of the book has been pushed up
so it's gonna come out about two weeks sooner
on October 3rd, 2023.
You can definitely pre-order now.
It's gonna come even sooner.
Ugh, it's been a good day.
Wow.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.
We're gonna do this, we're gonna do this,
because what has been
on this little rack in the background is a deep fake.
It's just like my cover pasted onto a different book
so we're gonna put the real deal on the rack.
Oh my gosh, there it is.
If you guys haven't already
I would so appreciate it if you guys pre-ordered the book.
It really helps with how the book does.
We're hoping to make it to all the bestseller lists
and your pre-order really matters.
And to all of you who have already pre-ordered,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
I cannot wait for you to get this book in your hands
to flip through it and fall in love with all the recipes,
because this was probably the hardest thing,
the hardest project I have ever done in my life,
but worth every moment of it.
Thanks for sharing my joy.
Now, I'm gonna share this with my kids.
I'd like to take a minute, it feels like the Oscars,
to thank God for this,
because without him, I couldn't have done this.
And the first people that I want to see this book
are my kiddos. Come on, come on, come on, come on,
because they sacrificed a lot while I was making this.
They did a lot of cleaning and help with cooking
and time away from mom.
Oh, you guys okay.
No, you pull it out of the box.
You pull it out of the box. - I wanna.
- Gently, gently, gently children.
- Gosh, this is a cookbook.
- Show your brother, show your brother.
- Look at here.
- Okay, look it, look it, look it, look it, look it,
look it, look it.
Right here, who's that?
- It's us.
- Who's that?
(Natasha laughs)
Isn't that amazing? - Yeah.
- How does that make you feel? You guys are in a cookbook.
- Chicken fingers.
- Oh, man.
Okay, you guys are excited, huh?
This will be fun.
This will keep us busy for hours.
- I wanna find my recipe.
- Special recipe.
- I wanna find my recipe.
- Your recipe?
- Yeah, mine, my cake.
- And I can't wait to show this to my parents.
I'll definitely show that later.
My parents are in this book.
Oh, it's just so awesome.
Pre-order if you already haven't,
really this is all for you.
Aw, aw.
It's her recipe.
(Natasha giggles)
This is so beautiful.
All right, I can't wait to share more of this
with you guys later.
We'll chat soon.
- Don't forget to pre-order.
- Pre-order, link's in the description.
Don't show them everything.
- This is the best one.
