You’re probably familiar with the greatest basketball shooter in NBA history, Stephen Curry, but once you hear what his incredible wife has accomplished, she might just become your new MVP!

Today, Ayesha Curry officially released her first cookbook The Seasoned Life: Food, Family, Faith, and the Joy of Eating Well and she’s beyond excited. So is Rach, who wrote the following glowing review:

"The first time I met Ayesha Curry, I knew I had found a kindred spirit. Ayesha recognizes the true power of food, how a home-cooked meal can bring a family together, and the importance of getting your kids in the kitchen early. Her collection of delicious and accessible recipes reflects who she is as a human--colorful, fresh, and full of flavor!"―Rachael Ray

“I fell in love with food at such a young age, so this book is filled with fun stories about my family and my journey with food,” says Curry. “I just wanted it to be sort of an arsenal for a young girl going to college, or your aunt that’s never cooked before - so they can have something that they can cook from with ease,” she explains.

“I’ll never forget the moment I first saw a cookbook with my name on it,” says Rach. “I looked inside and I had a library of congress number -- almost had a heart attack!”
