Really interesting to learn about your process. And funny that I’ve written about cookbooks -from a different angle - in my newsletter this week. Cannot wait to get my hands in your joy or a book xxx

Your creative process is fascinating, and so different from that of any other cookbook author that I know. It goes a long way towards explaining why your books have such a distinctive look and feel, with each element contributing to a unified whole. Can’t wait to get the new book!

I recognize all your dedication in these words. Magical, and stressful: two faces of the same coin.

You and Bruno are a fabulous team, and indeed your books are the perfect representation of your joined skills and love.

And thank you for sharing the link to my post (how do you call a post on Substack? Post? article? letter?)

Fascinating and like Matt I marvel at what you put into your book across so many skills! I hope it's going well

Am interested in the scope of the book. What years are most of the recipes from? Is there a list of contents available online to share with others?

Loved reading this, Regula. Your skillsets are so wide ranging and to have Bruno too for the illustrations really does make for the perfect package. I too put raw text straight into InDesign (never Word!) and enjoy starting to believe in a beautifully realised book from the beginning. That said, Mark Diacono's recent post about Scrivener has persuaded me to give that another trial run for my current project. I confess I've yet to catch up with the new book, but will put that right when next with time at Toppings book shop in Bath!
