What inspired you to write your book?
To find a cookbook with 20 amazing recipes which are all popular ones, is very hard to find. I wanted to create an easy to download e-Book for a fair price. This way someone does not need to download a 500 recipe cookbook in order to get about 20 or 30 good recipes. This saves everyone time and money. But most of all I selected these recipes because they are all 4 to 5 star recipes and have been verified to be such, by many reviews. So for me it was a win, win, win. I hope you’ll feel the same if you try some of these recipes. I just want to produce the best cookbook out there with famous recipes that everyone wanted in their collection.

The recipes in here are so tasty that even an Italian Nonna would approve of them. See the table of contents of recipes for yourself, and you can be the judge.

Sample Recipe or Food Advice
Okay I’ll give some food advice.
Don’t burn your garlic. If flavoring oil or butter first with garlic when using a frying pan or pot is fine if you only let the garlic cook by itself for about 5 to 10 seconds on a light sizzle. This short amount of time will help avoid the garlic from getting burned. You can then add other ingredients immediately after placing the garlic in the hot oil, so make sure that you have them ready to throw into the pan. Adding the next ingredient quickly like onions for example, will save your meal usually. Some like to add onions and garlic at the same time which will be even better as a protective step to keep the garlic from burning. You definitely don’t want the bitter flavor of burnt garlic in your food. If not using onions after the garlic anything will do the trick of soaking up the heat, like tomato sauce, or any liquid. Just be careful. That’s my advice for the day! An experienced cook knows this, but some out there don’t. So I hope it helps the new chefs out there.
What formats are your books in: eBook
How do you see writing a food/cookbook as different from writing other genres of books?
I think this type of book needs to written in an easy to understand way. So when following the directions the reader never gets confused. If the reader ever doesn’t understand one of the steps to create the recipe, the food may not turn out so good.
Advice to someone that is thinking about or currently working on a food book or cookbook
Take your time. Don’t be in a hurry.
This took much longer than I thought it would.
I kept adding things that I did not plan on in the beginning.
How did you decide how to publish your book and where is it published through:
I decided to self publish my book. I like to do things myself the first time and later possibly hire others to do some of the tasks for me like formatting and art design. I’m currently using Amazon to promote it for me.
