I love this. Your recipes don’t need any further embellishment beyond the thought/care you’ve already put into it. Beautiful inside out.

I’m looking even more forward to getting my copy! (And about that blue and white plate: have you ever considered getting a Calamityware plate to join your antiques, as an Easter egg for those who look closely?)

My spouse got me two mugs and two tea towels. I love them because I can look at them forever and always find new horrors.

This is AMAZING. Looking through the book, I actually thought, "this looks different, what did she do here?" Because it feels so much more natural and real than most books—and it's because it actually is! So kudos to you for figuring out how to make this work (and financially too!). Was it hard to sell your publisher on this though??

Means so much coming from you Amy! I know you really understand all of this so much. I sent my editor some sample photos with my ask and she was incredibly supportive. I feel very lucky!
