This food writing project is all about favourite produce, recipes and rituals around eating. It is a friendly journey sharing knowledge and experiences of taking the plunge into creating a real-life PUBLISHED BOOK. All set against the backdrop of a world plunged into pandemania. With a background in photography it really began as a food photography project, but soon panned out into the interesting waters of memoir. I take you on this rather amusing journey with me. I’m not sure about you, but had to use my (questionable at times) sense of humour in order to get by.
Chapters include:
Wild dining; which is all about disconnecting from the busy day to day world. It is about delicious food and beautiful locations with the option of lovely people. In an ideal world, wild dining is off the beaten track, away from pedestrians and into nature. I have long found wild dining is a wonderful way encourage positive mental health, which has helped me greatly.
Sharing; is all about people coming together talking about favourite foods, sharing dishes and recipes. Even just the term ‘sharing’ I find very warm and cuddly. I love talking about favourite foods and trying recommendations from passionate foodies. It is a beautiful way connect. I have even taken favourite family recipes from friends, adapted, recreated and they have become part of my own repertoire. Friends have been generous enough to allow me to share them with you. How very very wholesome.
Where The F* Is My Cocktail? Is my answer to: ‘are there any desserts?’ Having said how wholesome this book is, I found myself sharing a few interesting stories of I came across certain recipes. Do you remember when single people were encouraged to form bubbles? Well, as a single gay, I did just that. I don’t over share, but also don’t hold back. My proofreader described my approach as very fresh, with a sidenote of: my mum is going to be reading this!
