“When Samah walked onto the Today set, we knew she was special. Back then, she was just our bright-eyed page, enthusiastically delivering our news scripts with warmth and efficiency. Little did we know she was harboring a major secret talent: She is a creative baking genius! Her delicious treats would arrive on our desks, and we would happily gobble them up, not even realizing they weren’t just delicious—they were healthy too. From her first on-air appearance on Today, a star was born. She has been unstoppable ever since. I’m not surprised her scrumptious and irresistible treats have made it into the pages of her first cookbook. Open the pages and see why, for all of us, it was love at first sight and first bite for Samah!”—Savannah Guthrie, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Princesses Wear Pants and coanchor of NBC’s Today
