Buona Sera, Dear Readers,
Just wanted to fill you in on some upcoming news about the 'Montenero Cookbook Project' blog.
Q. Julie, what about the cookbook? Are we ever going to see that, or will this just be a blog?
A. My whole purpose of creating the blog was to write the cookbook one recipe/topic at a time . It's working! I've had wonderful responses and beautiful correspondence with Montenerese near and far. (Well, mostly far) We test each recipe as we go along, so that when the book is published and people try to make the recipes, we can be sure that they work. Also, many people love to look at the pictures. :)
Q. We understand that this is not your day job, but the format is getting a little bit ho-hum. Will you ever do anything differently, or at least change the colors and fonts?
A. Early on, Lisa Freda Amundsen suggested a website instead of a blog-BRILLIANT idea. We'll be switching to this over the summer. If anyone would like to kibbitz (a Yiddish term for chime in) please just let me know! We'll have lots of fun putting together something for the next generation.
Q. I found a great picture/recipe/idea...will you ever write it up?
A. You bet!!! I love learning about our history and what's important to everybody. That's what this is all about.
Q. Julie, how will you learn how to make the blog better?
A. I will be attending the 'Blogher Food Conference' in Seattle, WA on June 8-9th. The workshop I'm most looking forward to is 'Differences between Cookbook and Blog Photography'. Most other seminars are about sustainable topics and literally solving world hunger. There is a field trip scheduled to Seattle's famous Pike Place Market-another highlight for sure.
Mangia Bene,
Julie
