I have recipes for my book, I have lots of tips, lots of info on substitutes and lots of notes and a good camera.
The book will feature tips, trick and substitutes and will contain around 20 recipes using them.
What is holding me back is how simple or complicated the recipes should be.
I was going for the idea of what I considered simple recipes and sent a poached salmon recipe to my daughter.
I asked her if people wanting a book with simple recipes would consider the recipe simple.
She replied that the recipe was very straightforward but people would not want to cook it because of pin boning the salmon.
Somebody else told me that the trend now is for very simple and quick meals such as pouring boiling water into a cup and adding some vegetables to it.
Well I don't think that people who eat such things need a cook book, and I don't want to write about how to create a fried egg on toast.
I think maybe meals such as spaghetti Bolognese with a tip on how to cook the actual pasta.
Chili con carne explaining whether or not to strain and rinse the beans and how to seal the lid of the pan with parchment paper.
Ratatouille?
What do you think?
What difficulty of recipes?
And maybe some recipes suggestions: not the recipes themselves ;-)
Any feed back and help with this would be much appreciated
