Lights, digital camera, motion! Let me take you behind the scenes once more.
Since I shared my final replace, I’ve been laborious at work on my cookbook manuscript. My cookbook is anticipated 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 dwelling kitchen. (Which I’m exhibiting you under!)
All whereas attempting to run an organization and steadiness that with my kids, household, and different facets of my life… and one way or the other keep wholesome and sane!
I most likely wouldn’t be capable of handle all of it, if not for the fantastic folks I’ve supporting and surrounding me. My unimaginable husband, hardworking crew, and proficient 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 offers me a lot pleasure and achievement, and actually offers me the power I have to maintain creating. I speak about 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 dwelling 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 just some days requires lots of people, a whole lot of work, a whole lot of planning forward and group, and, after all, a whole lot of meals! Fortunately, it’s an enormous crew of individuals with loads of hungry pals, household, and neighbors who cease over to see the motion.
We filmed quite a lot of walk-you-through-the-recipe tutorials in addition to “palms 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 web site’s About web page.

A few of these new movies have already been revealed on my YouTube channel, and also you’ll discover each embedded within the recipe card on the recipe put up web page on my web site.

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

That method I can seize precisely what I would like for the video we’re filming.

Even with all the planning and folks round, some issues can nonetheless go fallacious! Filming a cultured, seamless video for French Silk Pie was fairly the alternative behind-the-scenes. The chocolate curls stored breaking up below 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 have to bake and fully cool, or chill within the fridge, so we’re often doing 2 or 3 movies at a time, weaving in steps and scenes the place we are able to.
Blooper Reel
It’s laborious work and lengthy days for everybody, however I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t additionally enjoyable. Nowadays are intense, however they’re additionally stuffed with a lot laughter. The video crew even compiled a number of the humorous moments they caught on digital camera. LOL.
