Feed-back

I was just chatting at the pub with two enlightened, beautiful and talented friends of mine and we were discussing feedback. Everyone wants feedback in their lives whether it is from a new love interest, co-workers, friends, family, acquaintances and more. What we need more of is feedback! Mish is someone who is very good at this and she tells people the truth and what she likes, dislikes and more - all done in a very simple and sensitive way. After she writes her book 'Leakage from my brain' she should bottle her open and honest ways into a seminar.

So what I want from you is feedback. It is very simple feedback. I am sure all of you have bought a cookbook for a friend, Nonna/Nonno (grandparents), Mom, Dad or food fanatic in your lifetime and I want some of your feedback from that experience. Or if you have never done this then...if you were to receive a cookbook as gift what would you like it to contain?

• lots of pictures or no pics?
• pics of just food or pics of other things with food (people, landscape etc.)?
• lots of stories and small tidbits or just recipes?
• hardcover or softcover?

-one you can lay on the table while cooking/baking or one you can slide into those fancy plastic things (and do you have one of those?)

-lots of extra pages on utensils, food history and other pieces related to the recipes or none of that extra stuff?

-how much would you spend on a cookbook? for a gift, for yourself etc. $CAD & £GBP

-the name of the last cookbook you bought or want to buy?

-names of some of the cookbooks you have (Jamie Oliver collection etc.)


And anything else that you may feel relevant to someone who is looking at all of these aspects for a cookbook. Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!! You can drop this in an email to me allthingsdolce@gmail.com
or post it on the blog in a short simple manner.

I will be away for a week for a floating food adventure and will post when I am back, in the meantime you can send me some feed-back.
