| Embarrassing reveal of only some of my recipes! |
I recently determined to publish a cookbook. I asked for feedback from friends, but I think I had made the decision to forge ahead even before their much-appreciated input.
It's proving to be a big task!
Here are ten reasons behind my motivation.
1 - My recipe books and scattered recipes are overtaking my storage space.
2 - I visualize each recipe - I know if it is typed or handwritten, in a book or file box, online somewhere, or shoved in a drawer. I waste a lot of time searching for the recipe I can "see" in my head.
3 - As you can see by the photo above, some recipes are becoming faded, stained, or torn and will need to be reproduced anyway.
4 - I have cookbooks that take up space yet have only a handful of useful (at least for me) recipes inside.
5 - Friends and family often ask how to make a particular dish and I have to go in search, take a photo or send a long text of instructions when it would be beneficial to direct them to a digital version or hard copy of all my favorite dishes.
6 - I needed a project to get me through January and February.
7- A few of the recipes on this blog required an update.
8- I can kill two birds with one stone if I update and create at the same time.
9- It gives me an excuse to cook some things I haven't enjoyed making in some time.
10 - While the task is truly for my own sanity and organization, the cookbook will be available for purchase as an eBook or hard copy. So maybe that is a third bird with the same stone.
Can you guess which of my recipes is most requested?
The answer is here.
