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 beneath!)
All whereas attempting to run an organization and stability that with my kids, household, and different features 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 individuals I’ve supporting and surrounding me. My unimaginable husband, hardworking staff, and proficient video crew… plus the opposite creators and authors I join with regularly, and, in fact, my readers! Studying all of the heartfelt messages I obtain from you offers me a lot pleasure and achievement, and really offers me the vitality I must preserve creating. I discuss this a bit within the “About” video we filmed throughout this video shoot—extra on this beneath!
Recipe Video Shoot
This previous spring, we as soon as once more reworked my dwelling kitchen right into a video set to movie a recent batch of recipe tutorials to share with you. We really 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, lots of work, lots of planning forward and group, and, in fact, lots of meals! Fortunately, it’s an enormous crew of individuals with loads of hungry associates, 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 “arms 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 printed on my YouTube channel, and also you’ll discover every one embedded within the recipe card on the recipe publish web page on my web site.
I lately printed a Learn how to Crimp & Flute Pie Crust tutorial, which we filmed throughout this video shoot in addition to a arms/pans type video for Blueberry Pie.

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

Even with the entire planning and other people round, some issues can nonetheless go unsuitable! Filming a refined, seamless video for French Silk Pie was fairly the alternative off display. 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 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.

It’s arduous 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 few of the humorous moments they caught on digicam. LOL.
