It was so much fun talking you. And I am still in awe of how pretty you made the cake look. And I still need to buy that Dali book you wrote about in a recent post. (you are going to make me go broke buying cookbooks.)

"The major goal is the work." Yes! Brilliant, sensible advice. Now, I'm off to search for some chocolate cake :)

This book sounds incredible, Jolene - a combination of my favorite things- chocolate, short stories and recipes! I just ordered it from my local bookstore! I'm excited to read and bake!

"‘The Mysterious Meatloaf Couple’ who rendezvous at a diner and can barely contain their lust." This made me literally LOL. This was a great interview.

So true about agents, editors, and publishing. That's how it happened for me as well. I didn't go looking. They came looking for me!

My book arrived yesterday, and I think it's going to be one that my food-obsessed book club women will want to have! Does Genevieve live in the UK? I wish I could have had lunch with you on Tuesday...is the lovely platter a recent find? You always go the extra mile for your readers, and I'm glad Substack agrees! ❤️
