New cooking book coming. Feedback please
« on: May 03, 2015, 07:52:29 pm »
Hey guys and girls, i am so proud to announce my second book coming up. This one will be available through Itune shop both in dutch and in English and will be a combination of my first book with new recipes and adaptations of old recipes to the thermomix..  Included some previews of the pages (still to be translated)... But i can use some feedback..  I have two title options, 1. Food for the soul or 2. Chez Luka..  Explanation for the second one.. Luka is our very handsome and regal Golden retriever boy, our king of the castle, always welcoming anyone who dares to walk up our driveway.l what do you think?    By the way, i LOVE the home made mayonaise pic!

Fabulous news Stef that you have another cookery book in the pipeline.It must be very difficult picking a book title but I like the title Chez Luka.
The sample photos are beautiful.Best wishes on the book launch. :)

Well done, I knew it was coming but didn't realise you were so close to the end!  I am sure the book will be a success.  The photographs are fabulous and always important in a cook book ... the other really important thing is to proof read and proof read again and again to double check that you have all the ingredients, weights and measurements correct and that the instructions / method are also correct.  It is a huge undertaking and I wish you loads of luck with it.

Thnx C & C..   I know for a fact that ingredients and measures are correct.. It is just the silly mistypes i keep missing all the time! It will take a few more months to get it finished (hopefully around Xmas) and it will have TMX guidelines for some recipes. love you both!

Good luck to you Stef, how did the first book sell?  Do you use the TMX for any of your recipes?

How exciting Stef. I like Chez Luka. It is sort of mysterious to those who aren't aware who Luka is.
The photos are lovely. Do let us know when it is available as I'm sure lots of us will be interesting. good luck.

Tnx girls :) Cookie.. I am planning to get it out in english, but i am still looking for a translator and it will be metric, no cups and oz....  I DID adapt the ingredientlists for our australian friends, because they are used to work with ml and not with dl ;)
