Since I got laid off from my full-time job in January, I’ve been in a recipe-testing frenzy. I am so desperate to finish the testing for my second cookbook, I can’t even begin to tell you. I’ve been working on it since 2002 and I’m over it!
Writing a cookbook is not like writing other nonfiction material. To write some other kind of how-to book, you sit at your computer to research and write, or you flip through your library of books to glean information. To write a cookbook, on the other hand, you have to go out and shop for ingredients, then stand on your feet at the stove or counter for a good long time and physically do stuff. Cooking is fun and it’s an artistic expression, but writing a cookbook is work.
