Overview
- Homemade is Smith’s first cookbook and was released in mid‑October as a physical book that translates her viral couture-at-the-stove videos into print.
- Smith spent roughly two years developing the project and re-shot key imagery with fashion photographer Olivia Malone to achieve a vintage, editorial look.
- The book mixes about 80 family-rooted, from-scratch recipes inspired by Smith’s grandmother with fashion-styled spreads, including a custom Rodarte dress used for the cover.
- Publishers and outlets frame Homemade as both a usable kitchen manual and a coffee-table object, a choice that guided set design, styling (Thomas Christos Kikis) and the book’s production decisions.
- The release extends Smith’s creator-driven brand into print, tapping the ‘soft living’ appetite among younger readers while prompting conversation about how social-media homemaking is framed and understood.
