I finally got my hands on the Wishbone Kitchen cookbook, and let me just say: it’s everything I hoped it would be and more. If you’re on FoodTok, you probably already know who she is—but if not, let me introduce you to one of my favorite internet chefs turned author.
The Backstory:
In March 2020, like so many of us, creator Caroline Chambers’ life took a sharp left turn. After being furloughed and laid off from her job at Condé Nast, she leaned all the way into plan B: becoming a full-time private chef in the Hamptons. To get the word out, she started Wishbone Kitchen on social media, sharing daily recipes, behind-the-scenes moments, and her signature no-nonsense energy. One viral post later, everything changed—and now, she’s built a full-on foodie empire (including this cookbook!).
People are even calling her the Martha Stewart of Gen Z—WHAT AN HONOR. And honestly? It fits. She’s classy, real, a little chaotic in the best way, and always bringing the flavor.
What I’ve Made So Far:
✔️ Broccoli Farro Salad – Bright, flavorful, and perfect for meal prep
✔️ Lobster Rolls – Rich, buttery perfection with that summer-in-New-England vibe
Both were 10/10, no notes.
Why I Love It:
This cookbook is so much more than a collection of recipes. It’s funny, approachable, and filled with meals you’ll actually want to make on a weeknight. The writing feels like a friend talking you through each dish, and her flavors? Chef’s kiss. Plus, the layout is clean and modern—exactly what you’d expect from someone who built their brand online.
Final Thoughts:
If you’re looking for:
- Creative yet practical recipes
- A cookbook with actual personality
- Bonus content from her TikTok & IG
- A feel-good story of turning a layoff into a dream career
Then Wishbone Kitchen belongs on your shelf. Pull up a chair, follow her on TikTok, and definitely snag a copy. I’m already planning what to make next!
