Cookbook Diary #1

The Cookbook Diary of Chef Veggie - Cristina Carolan

It’s 2019! I’m committing to continue to work on my cookbook dream.

Part of doing that is to make more of a habit to write and to take some of the fear of putting down my ideas in a concrete form instead of having them float around in my head. Ideas into action! More creating instead of trying to learn and consume.

So I thought that if I made more of a public space to do that it would bring more accountability and also a tangible log of what I’ve actually done.
I often times will look so far in to the future and not be aware of what I’ve already accomplished.

I’ve read and listened to a couple bloggers who have documented their cookbook journey and I found them to be both fascinating and humorous.
I read Anna Watson Carl’s Yellow Table and her journey to self-publishing several years ago start to finish. It is an inspiring look into self-publishing.

Jessica Murnane’s The Cookbook Deal was hilarious and REAL. So much happened to her during the process of writing the book. She was super honest about the ups and downs and eventually had a beautiful cookbook!

So here I am, putting myself out there and seeing where this journey takes me! For a preview of my cookbook’s website, check out:

Thanks for reading!
Cristina

      Thanks Jessica! The pistachio coconut square recipe in your cookbook is a favorite of mine and some clients!
