Your photography is amazing, and the styling choices are fantastic. I especially like the color choices you've used in the accesories.

Hi Nicky! In der englischen Version beim Rezept von "Sherrys Galette" listest du einmal bei der Zutatenliste für den Teig "sour cream", aber im Text sprichst du einmal von "whipping cream" und einmal von "sour cream" (1. Paragraph, 5.Zeile: "whipping cream"). Was soll man nun verwenden? Habe den Teig gestern mir saurer Sahne gemacht und hat toll geschmeckt ;) EDIT NICKY: Liebe Sini, ich hab' beide Versionen verglichen, der Übersetzer hat anscheinend einmal "whipping cream" mit "sour cream" verwechselt - gut erkannt! In jedem Fall hast Du Dich richtig entschieden und wie in der Zutatenliste angegeben "sour cream" verwendet - toll, dass Dir Sherrys Galette geschmeckt hat :)

Congratulations on the book! Can't wait to read it and try the recipes. The beautiful photos make my mouth water... like you said above about having the dish "rapture" you - the photos are definitely a "sale" for the bliss of food that I always look for.

Hi Nicky, Not long ago I got my English version of your book, It is absolutely fantastic. Thanks for writing it. Today with my friends Kelly, Kathrine and Olga I tried the recipe for green cookies. We
found out that the recipe does not say what to do with 3 egg yolks. Actually, we found out we have eggs left when the dough was already in the fridge. Then we tried to mix it in, which made the dough really sticky. The cookies came out delicious after all :) But, what should have been done with the eggs in the first
place? :) Cheers, Ania

EDIT Nicky: Ooops, I just compared the English and the German book and you are right, they omitted four words in the first step paragraph of the Englisch version, after adding flour and cornstarch it should have said "and finally, the eggyolks". That's why I love listing the ingredients in the same chronological order as they are used, just to be on the safe side. Glad your cookies turned out great nevertheless... but you are right, the dough is pretty sticky and not really a joy to work with. But I think the outcome makes the hassle worth while ;)
