So Finally after 2 years, (pretty much) of a slogging it out my first solo cookery book is out this week. We kick of with a launch party at Sketch tomorrow, Monday 1st March where a whole bunch of people I love are going to come and celebrate with me. I am filled with a mixture of fear and excitement. It means so much to me that this book works. There are a lot of people doing what I do who see books as part of it, but for me its everything. 

I first came up with the concept for the book about 5 years ago after coming across a vintage mini cooks companion that was filled with all of the recipes that we dont seem to see in todays modern cook books. Cookery timings, oven temperatures, knife skills, how to make pastry, sauces, gravy, yorkshire puds, pancake batter, you name it, it was in this pocket book. I wanted to write a book that was filled with useful information as well as recipes that had my stamp on them, so Gizzi’s kitchen magic was born.

I hope everyone likes it as I worked so hard on it. I wrote it with both new cooks and competent cooks in mind, but have written it in a way that I hope ween people into the skill and gives a bit of an insight into how I see food and how I cook.

A bit of sneaky advice. If you want to buy it go to the Amazon website as its discounted massively at the moment. Do let me know what you think to guys. I want to know if there is anything I could do better next time. Love to you all.x
