Yesterday I received some wonderful news - that another of my books is going to be published next Spring. As my editor Allee said, I must be a glutton for punishment having only finished editing Cakes and Cookies this week! One morning before Christmas I woke up at about 6am with my head full of ice cream sundae ideas (strange indeed as it was winter and cold and not ice cream weather at all!!!) I wrote them all down and by 7.45 I had a list of 30 different sundaes ranging from Black Forest Sundae, Harvest Apple Sundae to Plum Crumble Sundae and e-mailed them off to lovely Heather and Elly who have found a publisher for the book. I can't tell you how excited I am at the prospect of inventing ice cream sundae recipes and testing them over the next few weeks and months. The sundae above is one that I wrote for Delicious magazine last year - the recipe is
here if you would like to try it - Raspberry Fool Sundae with elderflower thins - although you may wish to wait until the weather is warmer!!!
Well done Hannah, you must be so excited. When is the first book coming out?
ReplyDeleteThank you Ample Cook! The first book is out in October - I have to go and approve the photographs next week and then it will be sent to China for printing! I never realised how long it takes to make a book. I love the photo of the bowl of chocolate on your blog - you're right - there can be no better start to a recipe!

Well done Hannah! I knew it - you have fabulous ideas and deliver the goods on time - you're a publisher's dream!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it does take ages to get a book together. The readers don't realise the blood sweat and tears that go into every page ;-)
