In Honey, What Do We Got, Rachael and Tom Sullivan have written a special cookbook to guide you in preparing for your new addition to your family. They believe in the fact just getting pregnant is a reason to celebrate this millstone. They struggled with their own journey to conceiving. Rachael was diagnosed in 2019 with PCOS so it was difficult to pregnant. They did research and found out certain foods can help so Tom begins cooking differently to try and help. This became a major part of their first book. In 2021, she was working on a reserve flight and had to be ready in a two-hour notice and she would often stay with her aunt. She decided to take a pregnancy test. She noticed that she had some implantation bleeding. She surprised Tom with bring out the special tablecloth they illustrated at a restaurant when they were dating. They wanted to hang it in the nursey. The next child came unexpectantly right at a time Tom’s mother was dying from lung cancer. This time they admitted the timing wasn’t the best and there was a feeling of being overwhelmed.



The book is broken down into each week and covered the three trimesters and they compare the baby’s growth into sizes of fruits and vegetables. The recipes are gluten free and diary free and they are wholesome. Some of the recipes included Blueberry Skillet Pancakes, Raspberry Dijon Chicken, Key Lime Pie Overnights Oats, Cilantro-Lime Chicken, Pink Drink, Pineapple Whip, Pina Colada, and so much more. The pictures are beautiful showcasing her family and the recipes. I’m excited to try of these and they look tasty.

The premise of this book is adorable: cook with the food that is the size of the bbaby that week. It definitely could be a really fun exercise with your partner during pregnancy or with a friend who is pregnant. The ingredients are easy to find. The recipes are easy to follow. The grilled proscuitto wrapped cantelope, cucumber tahini salad, grilled peach- basil and goat cheese sandwiches, and lemon-blueberry and lavendar overnight oats(substituted lavendar syrup for the culinary grade lavender and it was still delicious). I'm looking forward to making the raspberry marmalade breakfast sliders and teh blueberry chipotle chicken along with the dragon fruit and shrimp poke bowls. This book is full of easy and accessible recipes that could be made throughout the year. Very fun book. Thank you to the publisher and author for the early review copy.

Obsessed!! I went through the whole book and want to make everything. Their stories are precious and the love they have for each other shows so much throughout this cookbook. I was worried the recipes would be too complicated for a pregnant woman with little cooking experience but everything looks so easy to make. I can’t wait to share this with others.

Honey, What Do We Got? focuses on a new way of celebrating pregnancy through creating nutritious meals based on the size of the baby that week. The recipes that start at week 8 and go through to week 40 of pregnancy. The cookbook has fully dairy and gluten free recipes.

The Sections are broken up in the different trimesters than further broken down into weeks. Each week has roughly 3-4 recipes surrounding the fruit and vegetable of that baby week. For example, week 8 of pregnancy the baby is the size of a blueberry. Each recipe has a little blurb from either Tom or Rachael, servings, prep time, total time, ingredients, and instructions. Each recipe includes a picture of the recipe as well.
