Food For The Pocket

       This blog is going to document a journey.  My intention is to document every step of the way in my quest to create, record and publish a cookbook from scratch.  I have never done anything like this before, and I am sure that I am going to learn so much along the way.  I hope you will join me on this adventure, and reap the cooking rewards with Michael (my partner in food) and I.  The book is going to take a different look at food, and aim to give you ideas for creating food that seems expensive, but actually costs very little.  I also intend to make it a book filled with recipes that are not only quick, easy and delicious, but also recipes that you are happy to share with friends and family.

           So far, I have found a publisher, and we are in the process of planning the content of the book.  Luckily, Michael is brilliant at art design, so he will help with the cover of the book.  I have to give the content some serious consideration, since I want the book to be a joy to behold, not a nightmare to wake from!  To me, the book needs to be something that people refer to, and learn from, but do not always need to follow religiously.  That is what I have always thought a great cookbook should be.

           I am also intending to record all the cooking sessions for the book, so not only can you read the book, but you can watch the videos.  Now, it sounds like I am trying to be like the really famous celebrity chefs out there, and in a way, I am, but my intention is to give this my best shot and see how far I can go.  I have no visions of fame and fortune from this adventure, but I would really like this book and the recordings to make a difference in just one working person's life.

So, again, you are welcome to join me on this road through the unknown...it is bound to be an experience unlike any other!  So let's get going...:)
