Happy Fathers Day!

Looking through the  photo albums of our fathers I am  sure we all thrilled about  how stylish they are. This is mine. And I love him very much. ————————- I am especially found of the pic of my father carrying a rabbit in his jacket. An element of style that I never thought of myself.

Recipe Testers of the World

You guys saved me half a year ago when I was getting crazy trying to reach the first deadline of a part of my book. I needed recipe testers and you helped me out.

During this short time we faught … Read More

Of course I did. I called … Read More

Fingers crossed for Translations

For me, not coming from the Book publishing business this whole schedule thing is a bit weird. I am used to super short lead times and sharp deadlines from the Fashion Industry. In the Book business however, everything takes longer than you think. So, my book was only presented by my US Publisher, Chronicle Books, in Frankfurt to then sell it … Read More

the Bread Exchange @FBM13

First snaps has been arriving from the Chronicle books booth (Hall 8.0 M99) at the Frankfurt Book fair. I almost fell off my chair when I saw how large it was. The best part is probably that it is “The Bread Exchange” together with “Game of Thrones” next year. Oh Yes!

Bread must really be playing an … Read More
