My very own cookbook
My cookbook has arrived, wahoooo! I am so excited! For those, who do not know: The cookbook was a major assignment I have been working on for months. I decided to collect all our family recipes in this book, so it has a high sentimental value for me. The cookbook contains recipes from the Netherlands, Germany, Silesia and Australia. While many in my class went for photos off the internet, I shot my own. So I can proudly say this book has been designed, photographed and illustrated by me. Not bad, eh? To be able to finish the assignment on time, I had to cut recipes. I have to tweak some things here and there and add the remaining recipes, take more photos and create more illustrations, hopefully it will be completed by the end of the year.

Dustcover of my cookbook, the cover itself is linen.

Contents page which showcases all illustrations so far.

Each chapter intro tells a little about the history and culinary of the country.

And here some examples how the recipe pages look like.

Das Buch gibt es nicht zu kaufen, es sei denn, ich kriege es fertig bis zum Ende des Jahres. Dieses Exemplar musste ich fuer mein Studium drucken lassen. Es fehlen noch weitere Rezepte, wo fuer ich noch Fotos und Zeichnungen machen muss. Sollte es dann fertig sein, muesste jeder sein Buch selber bestellen und das wird nicht billig
Und – es gibt es nur in Englisch, ich habe einfach keinen Nerv mehr, das ganze wieder ins Deutsche zu uebersetzen

Denkst Du denn immernoch in Deutsch und übersetzt die Sachen ins Englische oder denkstd Du schon Englisch?
