Hollywood’s multi-talented Maria Menounos didn’t have to think hard about choosing Beverly-based photographer Elise Sinagra to photograph the 150 plus recipes and photos for her latest book. After a successful run with the first two books, the third book in The EveryGirl Guide series, The EveryGirl’s Guide to Cooking (due out early March) is predicted to be another New York Times bestseller. An award-winning lifestyle photographer, Sinagra is no stranger to fashion, beauty, editorial,highly publicized events, and A-list celebrities. “It is such an honor to have photographed all three of Maria’s EveryGirl Guide books,” says Sinagra. “For this particular shoot, I had the pleasure of working with Maria, her mom, and her amazing team who cooked for days in Los Angeles to get this done—and this by far was the most mouthwatering book in the series! I can’t wait for everyone to see how refreshingly honest and helpful the book is and how beautiful the images came out!”

With four days of shooting and six weeks of editing, Sinagra’s end result speaks for itself. In addition to the book receiving accolades from celebrities such as Kris Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, and Julianne Hough, Publisher’s Weekly has been quoted as saying there are “beautiful photos of the food and Maria in the kitchen throughout.” A note from Menounos to Sinagra in the book says, “You are so talented, passionate, fast, and fun. I couldn’t dream of doing this without you.” For information about Elise Sinagra, please visit eliseinc.com
