About the Book:
This Journal is meant to act as your guide as you navigate easy and harder recipes along your cooking journey. The purpose is for you to try a recipe, make notes, and then make it better next time. Try your own twist and turns. A recipe does not need to be the same every single time. The wish is for you to go on a Journey that turns into many different paths for taste, presentation, and sharing. Add ingredients, substitute favorite flavors, or take out the ones you don’t care for. Please experiment on your Journey. Have fun and share your food with family and friends. Your food will taste better sharing it with the people you love. This is my Cookbook for you to Journal and make into your Cookbook. You can keep it simple or really experiment. The choice and Journey is yours. Make this Cookbook your own Personalized Cookbook and Journey!
Interview:
What inspired you to write Journey in a Journal?
My family and friends definitely helped in filling my heart to put what is in my head down on paper. I love to cook for the people around me, however, I really feel people are comfortable enough to ask me questions or float ideas past me regarding food. I hope this journal can answer some questions and be a place to record your knowledge. I feel this Cookbook Journal can be a tool to use. For example, one of my daughter’s friends commented, “So delicious, I just love the journal part and the substitute with your own ingredients…your Mom’s cookbook gives ‘permission’ to explore! I love that.” Another said, “My family is so big, other cookbooks are limited and with the journal part I can keep track of my amounts.”
I also want people to have a place to clip thoughts, ideas, tips, and recipes from other resources. For instance, I remember paging through my Mom’s and Grandma’s brittle paged cookbooks and sometimes they had 4 of the same recipes taped to the page……plus gossip, birthdates, coupons, measurement conversions, tv guide version, etc. My Mom would use gold star stickers to designate her favorites.
What advice do you have for aspiring chefs or cooks?
Try and Try again, – Experiment, – Write it down, always keep a pocket notebook or clipboard with you to write notes, ideas, brainstorms, lists, supplies, messages, successes etc.
Any books your readers can look forward to in the future?
I’d like to do another, eventually down the road. Maybe, side dishes, desserts, seasonal menus and recipes.
At some point, do you plan to demonstrate some of your recipes on video for your readers?
Sure! I’ve done live demos in the past. I don’t see why this couldn’t happen soon. Technology is at the point that it’s doable and easier than ever.
