Even though we are actually friends now, it’s still surreal to see the iconic legend that is @rachaelray holding my debut cookbook!! BTW, my cookbook is Rachael Ray-approved (see blurb on back cover) so you know it’s good! 😉 I also want to say congratulations to all my amazing friends @rachaelrayshow for 17 amazing seasons! That’s an insane accomplishment! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being so good to me. I truly appreciate you and am so excited to witness this next chapter unfold!! Lastly, make sure to catch me on the show tomorrow (3/21) where I make one of my favorite comfort recipes from my new book! It’s going to be super yummy!! 😋 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBz1hKv5DY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

HAPPY PUB DAY! My brand new cookbook, Did You Eat Yet?, is officially out TODAY and I’m filled with all kinds of emotions I never even knew I had! 🤪   Throughout my career, I’ve worked so hard to prove to the culinary world that I belong and even though I still don’t really feel like I fit in (anywhere, for that matter), I know that I’m always being myself. And everything I have achieved has been earned through hard work, perseverance, and by staying authentic no matter what people think or say. I don’t often talk about how many hurdles I’ve had to jump over throughout my career, whether it was as a model early on or now as a chef, but let’s just say I’ve dealt with my fair share of disappointments, rejection, and haters! But through it all, I absorb everything with a smile while trying my best to never pass any of that negativity onto others (because I know how it feels).   This cookbook has been a lifelong dream of mine and I can’t believe it’s finally here in the world. I’m soooooooo incredibly proud of this project (and of myself) because I worked so freaking hard for it and I can proudly say that the final product is 100% ME! I’ve been able to experience A LOT of really cool things in my life but this really tops the list of my lifetime achievements.   I really hope you all take a chance on me and pick up a copy of Did You Eat Yet?, because it’s more than just a cookbook. Whether you love to cook and eat, read stories, laugh, enjoy beautiful pictures, or just need a reminder that sometimes blood, sweat, and tears really do pay off (no matter how difficult things might seem), you are really going to love and connect with the pages in this book. I’d love it if you all shared your photos of finished recipes along with your thoughts and feelings about the new cookbook because nothing makes me happier than to hear from you all! ☺️   A heartfelt thank you to @safest, @stevetroha & Jeff for believing in me, to my team @sammie_oluyede @emicalie, Angeline, Daniel, Alie, Anwesha, and @allisoncarn for all your hard work and efforts on my behalf. I love and appreciate you all so much!! (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyWfRRv9kt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Okay, now this is just COOL!! Not just because it’s Men’s Health, but because I’ve been reading this magazine ever since I was a wee lil’ tater tot. So, now to have Men’s Health cover me and my new cookbook is absolutely surreal. Thank you so much @philipellis for indulging my sweet tooth with me during this super fun chat! 😆 Head over to MensHealth.com for the entire interview (and more pics), including my answer to everyone’s burning question about how I eat what I want while also staying fit (mentally and physically)!

This is a reminder that I’m a very serious chef and cookbook author and that’s why you need to preorder my debut cookbook, Did You Eat Yet? (wherever books are sold). Also, here’s some fun initial press: PEOPLE Magazine: “The former model and TV chef personality is dropping his most "craveable" recipes. His debut cookbook, out March 14, features over 100 recipes that celebrate American Asian-inspired dishes. From a "big ass buttermilk cinnamon roll" to gochujang grilled skirt steak, his tasty creations are cheeky and full of heart all at once.” TASTING TABLE: “Woo is bringing his signature lighthearted, cheeky tone to his new cookbook, "Did You Eat Yet?" Alongside pictures of his three beloved pups — Taco, Queso, and Unagi — the book features a wide array of recipes that pull from different flavors and styles. With chapter titles such as "Breakfast All Day, Err' Day" and "I Love Noods," readers and home cooks are sure to smile their way through his recipes. The book is easily approachable for new cooks, while still providing new and interesting tastes and techniques for seasoned pros.” (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cple-wdPxAJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

24 hours in NYC - Where I ate some chicken fingers dipped in ranch, took a shower, shot a video for @esquire with @daveholmes, read a kick-ass review of my new cookbook Did You Eat Yet?, and searched for the best lighting in my hotel room. All in all, I’d say it was pretty productive. 😆 (at The New York EDITION) https://www.instagram.com/p/Covdh8pvQCi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I guess it’s true when they say you are what you eat… too much, generally salty, but can also be sweet. (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmC_fJBPLcv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last night, Doug surprised me with a huge framed photo of the cover of my debut cookbook, Did You Eat Yet?. He said he wanted to commemorate this moment and also celebrate all the hard work, effort, and persistence I’ve put into my career over the years. I agree with him because I think it’s incredibly important to celebrate your successes along the way, both big and small (in fact, I went to the dentist on Friday and celebrated with banana pudding). This cookbook is definitely a big moment and has been years in the making… but not just the 2.5 years it took to make the actual book, but ALL the years that came before. Did You Eat Yet? not only has my most craveable recipes, but also stories that I hope everyone can relate to in one way or another. (Additionally, each recipe has its own photo so you know exactly what you’ll be making!) This book is a dream come true for me and I hope it brings you some good food (obviously!), good laughs (I’m actually super hilarious), and a little bit of joy to your life! I know my book isn’t out for three more months (March 14), but it’s definitely available for pre-order now (see link in bio)… and if you do, I promise there will be a fun goodie or two coming your way soon!
