I've been thinking about a cookbook. I've been making notes and promising myself I'll do it some day. I have an idea for a cookbook and music together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not sure I'd write a good cookbook, but I might make a good cooking show.
I would definitely be interested in doing a cooking show or something related to cooking, and I think probably most immediately, I would do a cookbook.
Taking dishes straight off the restaurant's menu and putting them into a cookbook doesn't work, because as a chef you have your own vision of what your food is, but you can't always explain it. Or you can't pick recipes that best illustrate who and where you are and what you're doing. And if the recipes don't work, you don't have a book.
I am a cookbook fanatic.
I have been incredibly lucky with my novels but I had absolutely no idea if anyone would be interested in a cookbook. So I started to think about self-publishing.
A cookbook is not like being an author. It's writing down recipes; it's not writing.
A cookbook is a moment in time because, otherwise, you look back at the end of the day, and all the meals have been eaten, and the experience is gone.
Recipes are important but only to a point. What's more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that.
I've always had a fantasy to write a cookbook, because everyone wants to know what a model eats.
I use other cookbooks for inspiration. I must say I tend to cook from my own cookbooks for parties.
