Her debut cookbook features inventive dishes organized into chapters like "Breakfast (...for dinner?)" and "Celebrations (for times when calories don't count)."

A recipe:
Fleur de Sel Caramel Bourbon Brownie Milk Shakes
Serves 2. Time: 15 minutes
A poem:
I like bourbon.
I like milk shakes.
I like bourbon milk shakes. The end.
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups vanilla bean ice cream
- 1⁄2 cup bourbon
- 2 brownies, plus an extra for crumbling on top
- 1 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fleur de sel (or flaked sea salt), plus extra for sprinkling
- Whipped cream, for topping
Combine the milk, ice cream, bourbon, brownies, 1⁄2 cup of the caramel sauce, and salt in a blender and puree until smooth. Fill two glasses with 1⁄4 cup of caramel each and pour the shakes into the glasses. Top the shakes with the whipped cream, an extra drizzle of caramel, and another pinch of salt. Crumble a brownie on top.
