Ross and I have often talked about writing a cookbook. We get together, the subject of a cookbook always comes up, and we make a promise to each other, "start making a list of our favourite recipes".
Then a year goes by (maybe two), life happens, and we start making plans all over again.
We were never sure where to start.
What kind of cookbook we should write?
Favourite recipes handed down from our mothers and grandmothers, or something else altogether.
With this BLOG the subject of a cookbook has come up again...and guess what? We have finally started our list of recipes without even realizing!
We’ve decided to go back to the beginning of “Around the World”, and re-visit the recipes we’ve posted.
If we want to make this cookbook about recipes we love, and would make over and over, we need to make the recipes “ours”. Put our own stamp on them…tweak them…and mix up the ingredients a little.
So…we’re heading back to Vietnam, Kenya, Australia, Czech Republic, and Turkey for an overhaul of the recipes we’ve tried, and probably some we haven’t.
The idea of a cookbook isn’t so much now just a topic to discuss over and over. We have a place to start. Whether we share the cookbook in a small way with family and friends, or go big…it seems like we are finally going to give it a go…
Stay tuned for a peek of our favourites from our first five countries!
And stay tuned for "Cooking with Cousins - Our Favourite Recipes from Around the World"
