Chewed Up
Getting back in the kitchen with my dear friends Michael Symon and Clinton Kelly has been an absolute joy! Chewed Up gives the three of us a chance to cook, laugh, tell stories, share our opinions (and you know we have them!), and just enjoy being together again.
We spent so many years side by side on The Chew, and getting to come back together—this time with fewer rules and a whole lot more freedom—feels like getting the band back together. It’s food, friendship, plenty of laughs, and probably a little bit of chaos. Come hang out with us!

The MeMenu
The MeMenu is here —your invitation to live with more intention, curiosity, and joy.
“The MeMenu workbook is a brilliant self-guided, multi-mode experience for personal growth. From the free assessment that gets you started to the reflective questions, video guides and storytelling from Carla and Deb that bring the pages and experience to life, it’s wonderful. Wherever you are or whatever you are working to bring to life there is value in gifting yourself a few moments everyday to dive in! Brilliant experience!”
“My favorite coach, Deborah Grayson Riegel, has partnered with fabulous chef Carla Hall to create a workbook that’s designed to make you focus on YOU- where you are, who you are, and where you want to go. All with a relatable culinary theme that really hits!”
“I’ve read plenty of books that tell women to prioritize themselves. This one gives you a way to do it.
Six “flavors” each with a short video lesson, reflection prompts, and a Lab that asks you to do one small thing. Not read about doing it. Do it. The “What I’m Cooking Up” thread keeps a single goal moving through all six, so by the end you’ve been working on something real the whole time instead of collecting insights you’ll never use. Carla and Deb deliciously blend the warmth and the accountability, the kitchen and the coaching practice will keep you moving forward in a fulfilling way.”

Acclaimed chef, TV host, Top Chef fan-favorite, and author Carla Hall returns to her first culinary love story—baking—with over 80 sweet and savory recipes.

Now you get to experience her knowledge, wisdom, and humor as well in Carla Bakes. I’m so excited for you—I know what a treat you are in for.”—Duff, chief carpenter of Topanga Woodworks
“This book is pure Carla: joyful, vibrant, and packed with the kind of recipes that make baking feel fun again. Take it from me—getting in the kitchen with Carla is always a treat!”—Candace Nelson, founder of Sprinkles Cupcakes, co-founder of Pizzana, and Next Level Baker mentor
“All the things I love about Carla, her exuberance and passion, her generous spirit, her love of baking, and her knack for making what we do in the kitchen simpler and more satisfying, are packed into Carla Bakes. Every recipe includes hefty measures of joy and encouragement, and each one makes you want to jump into the kitchen and bake.”—Dorie Greenspan, New York Times bestselling cookbook author
