Cookbook Revelation

Hi all. Damn, is it hot here! The air is so thick that it's hard to breathe. Hope it's more bearable where you live. I've been spending lots of time working on the cookbook. I've made some discoveries along the way. The first - I had way to many recipes. The book was turning into an encyclopedia. So, I decided to split it in half by seasons. My family (especially when I was young), based their meals on what was fresh & available. Eggplant Parmesan was a summer dish. Stuffed artichokes signaled the start of spring. Stuffed squid is a Xmas Eve favorite. So, the book will feature the recipes of the colder months, including soups, feast of 7 fish, & lasagna. I'm a bit bummed that I spent time testing recipes that will not be included, but, nothing is a waste. If the first book is successful, the follow-up can be recipes of spring & summer. Here's the break down of my progress;
-14 recipes are 100% complete. WHOO HOO!
-6 recipes are almost there. They all need to be made once more. NOT BAD.
-10 recipes either have not yet been tested at all or have been, but are not working. ARGHHHH!
So, I guess I'm half way there. With the recipes anyway. I definitely need to head to RI for a few cooking sessions.

Sounds like you're making great progress. And I wouldn't be too bummed that you tested recipes that won't be included...after all, they're research for your NEXT cookbook, right? :)

Hi Dawn
Yep, HOT & HUMID but luckily no hurricane came our way!

I like to cook more in the fall and winter, so that type of cookbook is very desirable to me.
I'm especially interested in the Christmas Eve fish recipes!
Wll you include some dessert recipes too? I can never have enough of those! ;-)

Progress is progress and it's ALL GOOD. If you need help with testing let me know. It's hotter than you know what here in Texas. Keep up the good work!!

Marilyn, as always thanks for the support!
Pat, yes dessert recipes will be included. What is Xmas without the sweets?
Regina, I just might take you up on your recipe testing offer. I do need friends to help out in that department.
Jenn, thanks for the kind words. There is light at the end of the tunnel I can see it.
Mrs. M, You can create one too. But, i think you'll soon be wrapped up in your more important creation!
