Just look at what I created!

I just have to show you what I recently received via the Post.  Yep that is a cookbook that was created using some of my favourite recipes here on the blog!  Don't you just love the cover?  I know! Sooo cute!   It's a nice size (A4) with a hard back glossy cover and ring binding, perfect for laying out flat to read and cook from.

There is a complete index of recipes with their titles and page numbers . . .

And included on each page, along with the recipe there are lovely recipe photos (my own of course) as well as highlighted handy tips . . .

As well as handy keys stating serving size and prep and cooking times!  Plus it's been published in France, not in China.  (That's a real plus in my books!)

And where did I get this you ask?   Why it was created myself on the Gourmandize UK-Ireland site.

  2. That's fantastic! It's the perfect way to keep track of your favourite, tried-and-true recipes. I may have to do that for mine and the hubby's faves.

    *whisper* If you publish, people will buy....I know I would! :-)

  8. Marie, That is just beautiful. I can imagine all the time it took for you to make. I've thought about making one then put it on the back burner of my brain. I'm not the cook you are, just a home cook. Congratulations! xo Jenny

  10. Wow, this just blows me away!
    Will you be a guest on The Graham Norton Show or something?
    Be kind to the person in the red chair, okay? ;-)
    Seriously, I am proud of you, you would think you were my child or something!!

  11. Kay, you make me laugh! haha Love Graham Norton. I would be afraid to sit in the red chair though. I don't think I'd have an interesting enough story to tell!
