Back in 2010 I created a year long recipe challenge. Each week we created a new recipe and published step by step images and full ingredients lists.
This turned out to be the catalyst for my book.
Gifts From Your Kitchen
My very first book, Gifts From Your Kitchen came about through talking to a publishing house, Little Brown, about this year long challenge. The commitment to completing this challenge gave them confidence that publishing a book would be a great idea. Combining my love of paper crafts into the book gave it a unique twist in that people could create gifts, from start to packaging, in their own kitchen.
The book hit the Amazon charts and is still selling well 7 years later.
I am delighted to have collated all 52 recipes from that original challenge into one hub page. All details, links and weeks they were featured are published below. In one handy list.
