Sneak Peek into The Paleo Foodie Release Party!

ArsysBookRelease_020 I want to share a few photos with you from my cookbook release party! My dear friend and professional photographer, Taryn Kent of This Way blog, flew up from San Diego to document the event!

Follow Taryn on Instagram to be inspired by her gorgeous photography!

The event was held at Front Street Kitchen, an awesome commercial kitchen and event space. It was catered by Chef Ty of Local Harvest Catering. Local Harvest Catering is a Paleo meal delivery service. It’s the first one in Santa Cruz that I have heard of. I can’t wait to start placing orders for those super busy weeks! If you live in the Santa Cruz area, make sure to check them out!

Chef Ty made several dishes from The Paleo Foodie Cookbook. I wish you guys could try them all. Everything turned out soooo good!
