Review
"Martha Stewart is gnashing her teeth in envy for not making something as freakin' sweet and personable as
The Newlywed Kitchen."
Wasabi Prime
"I love a cookbook that has a unique point of view, and Lorna Yee and Ali Basye's Newlywed Kitchen: Delicious Meals for Couples Cooking Together has that in spades. They have created a beautiful, charming book for couples just starting out in marriage to explore cooking together. You'd be crazy not to give it as a shower gift to every couple you know who is getting married this summer."

"When I think of the word 'foodie,' I think of Lorna. She is passionate about food and it shows in this cookbook."
Savory Sweet Life
"We think The Newlywed Kitchen is the wedding gift for that hard-to-impress foodie couple."
Minneapolis Picks
"...if you love food, or know a couple just starting their married life who like to laugh in the kitchen together, you should buy this book. Danny and I danced in the kitchen this week. We think you will too."
Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef
"Newlyweds who love cooking will dive into dishes like rack of lamb with sour cherries, cauliflower and capers, or carrot cake with whiskey praline cream filling. But any kitchen romantics will spend time on the book's interviews with couples who enjoyed successful collaborations in life as well as at the stove."
Rebekah Denn, Al Dente
"Yes, it's designed for newlyweds, full of recipes and stories to share with your plus-one. But you know what? Even if you're not a newlywed, you'll probably like the way that they eat."
CakeSpy
"After reading Lornas book (even if you are far away from being a newlywed, or have been married for years), youll be inspired to share great memories of food in your kitchen with your loved ones..."
