I know, I know, it’s a tease and a bit unfair to show you a preview of our upcoming book in light of the fact that it’ll be only published and available in German language, for now. Well, for now! But keep your fingers crossed (pretty please) and in return I will keep you posted on what’s happening on the overall licensing front (English, French, Spanish translation, other languages?).

There’s one thing I really can’t imagine living without: my glorious carbs. You could cut me off from meat and even chocolate (at least for a couple of weeks), but I can’t think of a week without any pasta, bread or potatoes. I just can’t. OK, maybe I could, but it would make me testy very, very sad!

How is everyone doing on the Christmas gifts front? Wrong question? I so hear you, I’m terrible this year. My timing sucks, I’m still waiting for a few online orders to arrive and have almost lost hope, that they will be here on time (keep your fingers crossed for me, please do!).

Life doesn’t always play along nicely. Just after we finished our book project, everybody involved got sick. One after another, almost in sync. Then hell winter broke loose on the exact day I needed to travel north and see my family. As much as I had anticipated some christmas baking frenzy, sometimes a cookies-to-bake-list has to be put on ice – pun intended – for a couple of days.

Writing a cookbook sometimes feels like living in a parallel universe, my usual daily routine got reduces to what looked like planet earth from outer space. Luckily, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Now that we are (almost) finished, I keep asking myself where the last months went and what actually happened in the world outside my office (and kitchen) and Coco’s studio.

Time flies when you’re having fun – or editing a cookbook, or both. I know, it’s been a while, but since multi-tasking is not my greatest strength (there, I said it!), I had to cut back somewhere. Apologies to you, my beloved blog and to you, my dear readers. But if this little time-out pays off in a beautiful cookbook, you won’t hold grudges, no? And my recipe box is almost bursting with fabulous ideas I can’t wait to share with you in the near future!
