Cookbook Jitters

May 9, 2012(updated on February 3, 2023)

I first heard on Sunday. Amazon had copies of my book in stock and would be shipping them this week. I thought they wouldn’t start arriving until Friday, but this morning, a few friends got in touch to say that they’d gotten their copies today.

And then, when I checked my own mail, I found one waiting for me there (because I am a goofball, I ordered myself a copy through Amazon. I wanted the experience of having it appear in that familiar box).

I don’t entirely know how to articulate how this all feels. I’m thrilled, nervous and entirely freaked out. All I can say is that I hope you guys like it and that it finds a comfortable place in your kitchens.

Sharing is caring!

  • YAY – there’s a nook version too! Have you seen what it will look like on a nook? I don’t have the nook color so I might have to read it using the nook software on a laptop because of the pictures. I may have to get that for me and a regular book for my daughter!
