Pippa Middleton Is Releasing a Cookbook, but She Hasn't Tried All of the Recipes

— Pippa Middleton, Great Britain's most famous bridesmaid, is releasing her very own cookbook. Titled Heartfelt, the book promises "over 100 quick and easy recipes for a healthy heart," and proceeds benefit future research by the British Heart Foundation, of which Middleton is an ambassador. Are all of the healthy recipes actually good? Well, you might have to ask someone other than Prince William's sister-in-law. "I would like to say I have made every single one, but I have definitely done a good 80 percent of them," she admitted to the Daily Mail. "I made a lot of the dishes at home."

Heartfelt will see its release on September 29, but it's available for pre-order right now.

"It's going to be a reflection of how I eat on a daily basis." Look for a number of health-conscious recipes, with a few splurges mixed in. Cavallari hasn't revealed the book's name, but it should be published in spring 2018.
