perfect timing!
...pink sugar for the month of October!
i have featured the photography of
Janis Nicolay of Vancouver, British Columbia, several
times before today. i am intrigued with her passion for clean
mid-century design, and her ability to style it into the
present. it's comfort food for the eyes and heart of this
baby boomer girl!
ahhhhh...n o s t a l g i a!
Janis features her favorite recipes on her blog now and then.
at one time, she sold her recipes, beautifully
photographed, and tucked in a handmade fabric envelope
you can imagine how thrilled i was when i discovered that
she recently finished photographing a cookbook.

after visiting the little neighborhood bakery's site,
i caved in BIG TIME!

to me, cookbooks are a perfect fairy tale.
a romance about practicing science in the kitchen,
with the ultimate result happy ending, plated art!
(i lose the problems of the day when i open up a cookbook)
i sometimes pack a cookbook in my work tote, for when
i have that need to STEP AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER!
when i am really stressed, i'll place a cookbook
on my desk. it welcomes happy foodies into my office!
it's amazing how the mood of the day is lifted!

Lynne, What a wonderful cookbook! And you had me with the Title "Butter". Ordering one now!

I think all sweets taste best decorated cutely. This book looks fabulous! I'm like you, part of the joy of a cookbook is simply savoring the pages. I have downsized a lot but I make a point to put a different one on my counter every few weeks to inspire me to cook/bake something from it.
