On the Road, 2014

On the Road Again. Road Trip 2014. Photo by Irvin Lin of Eat the Love.

If you’ve been following along on my blog, you’ll know that last summer my partner and I took an epic roadtrip across the country, hitting 23 states, 13 National, State and Native American Parks and logged over 10,000+ miles on our car. We were gone for 7 weeks and it was pretty fantastic. We talked about how we could hit the road again this summer, we had such a blast last year, but with all the work needed on my cookbook manuscript, I didn’t think it was possible. But, with some schedule juggling, AJ and I are doing a truncated mini Summer road trip! Three weeks on the road, camping and visiting the state of Utah and Colorado. If you don’t follow me on Instagram or Twitter you can check out where I’m at, as I’ll be sharing all the beautiful sights that we encounter…as long as we have cell signal that is. This year our hashtag is #OnTheRoad2014 and you can also follow along with AJ’s Instagram feed if you’d like! In the meanwhile I have a few blog posts scheduled for when I’m gone, including a great giveaway later this week! Keep an eye out for that along with a fab summer vegetable recipe and a great jam recipe coming up in the weeks following. Until then, see you when I get back!

    Welcome back to Utah! If you make it as far North as Cache Valley, let me know, I’ll give you restaurant recommendations that don’t suck (it’s more of a challenge here than you might think)

"Mr. Lin, a graphic designer in San Francisco who writes the food blog Eat the Love, takes risks in nearly every one of the 150 elaborate recipes in his book. He doesn’t just paint the lily; he bejewels and shellacs it, too."
–MELISSA CLARK for the New York Times

“My goodness, this cookbook! It’s filled to the brim with recipes for the most splendidly beautiful cakes, cookies, breads, and tarts I think I’ve ever seen. My eyes kept getting wider and wider as I turned every page—both the flavor combinations and the photos are out of this world. Irvin Lin has most definitely outdone himself. This book is a triumph!”
—REE DRUMMOND, New York Times best-selling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks

“Irvin Lin gives home-baked treats a twist, ramping them up with a range of contemporary flavors that are sure to surprise and delight. From beer-battered brownies to smoky butterscotch taking a classic cake to the next level, I can’t wait to mix, stir, and bake my way through Marbled, Swirled, and Layered!”
—DAVID LEBOVITZ, author of My Paris Kitchen
