I published a cookbook. Crazy right? For me, this little thing that I can now finally hold in my hands is a dream come true. A small cookbook, with simple recipes and a lot of love. Dream big! It will certainly not be my last cookbook. My next big dream is to photograph a beautiful high end coffee table book, but we’ll see how long that’ll take. I can already think of future cook book team that I am going to work with.
From now on I’ll add a recipe out of my cook book to my blog monthly and I will start this series with a great recipe: Prawn Burgers with Avocado Wasabi Cream. It may sound complicated, but it’s not. You mix different, finely chopped ingredients together, season them and then throw them on a grill. In my opinion, burgers are a great dish to eat and prepare together.
The good thing about burgers, everyone can add all the ingredients they want and your guests will always be happy and their tummys full!
By the way, you can buy my book directly at the publishing house Riva or in various online shops and bookstores like Thalia and Co.
(there is only a german version for now, but who knows what the future brings. Until then, stay tuned- new recipes from the book will be published on my blog in english regularly.)
