Nara Aziza Smith (@naraaziza), the best-dressed culinary creator in digital media, brings her signature style to 80 delicious, homemade family-friendly recipes in her debut cookbook.
You may think you know Nara Smith—the glamorous outfits, the soothing ASMR voice, the beautiful family, the seemingly effortless approach to making food from scratch—but behind it all is a working mom with a relatable goal: preparing nourishing whole foods for herself and her family.
Nara grew up in Germany inspired by her grandmother’s cooking and the intention behind it—everything from freshly baked bread to her mother’s home remedies for mild ailments, like garlic soaked in honey. While working as a model, she soon met and married supermodel Lucky Blue Smith and started a family. When she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and eczema, she found that she could manage her symptoms by cutting out most processed foods. She turned her scratch-cooking expertise in a new curated direction while sharing her cooking online with compelling and elevated content. A self-taught home cook, Nara found joy in the ethos of slowing down and cooking with intention at home.
Now, millions of followers later, Nara has made home cooking look incredibly chic while preparing delicious and thoughtful meals her family loves. In her eagerly awaited and beautifully photographed first cookbook, Nara shares recipes from simple to complex, such as:
- Softest White Potato Sandwich, English Muffins, and Handmade Cheese Crackers, a few of the doughs that keep Nara’s hands busy
- Cinnamon Toast Squares, a quick breakfast beloved by Nara’s toddlers and better than anything you can find in stores
- Baked Fall Vegetable Salad with Miso-Sherry Dressing, a gorgeous salad that fuels Nara for long workdays
- Soy-Glazed Flank Steak with Plum Herb Salad, a beautiful, nourishing meal made from whole ingredients
- One Pasta Dough for all shapes and sizes, with sauces, including stunning edible floral lasagna sheets.
- Pork Schnitzel, a comfort food that brings Nara back to her childhood in Germany
- Lucky’s Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies, Nara’s husband’s recipe for the best American classic
- A chapter on Bits & Bobs, including everything from homemade mozzarella to flavored butters to chocolate-hazelnut spread, showing the simplicity and magic of cooking from whole ingredients
In Homemade, Nara brings ease and elegance to the creation of homemade food—inspiring readers to elevate their own reality, in the kitchen and beyond in their daily life.
