Cookbook Feedback

Any time you accomplish something in life, you somehow like the approval of others. Not that it is necessary, but nice. Since publishing my cookbook, I have been faced with brief moments of self doubt. Are people going to think it is as good as I do? Are they going to feel like they got their monies worth? When they cook, are they going to like them as much as we do? Things like that.

Anyway, I had my first book signing last week. It was wonderful. It was hosted by a lovely french market here in town called Ellie Kats. We had a wonderful turnout. The ladies hosting and I made a few appetizers from the cookbook and we all had a merry time. I sold lots of cookbooks, too, so that helps with the confidence boost. Since then, I have gotten several phone calls and e-mails about the cookbook. I thought I would share a few with you.

"I got my cookbook last week. I read it from cover to cover. I sat down and read the recipe for Easter Story Cookies to Leroy and we both cried" - Jean Jack, Valdosta, Georgia

"Teri (my sister) and I were so impressed with your cookbook. We have never read a cookbook all the way through, but we couldn't put it down". - Landa Hart, Fargo, Georgia

"I've carried my cookbook around and read it like a novel. It is wonderful" - Eve Murray, Homerville, Georgia

"It is by far the best cookbook I have ever seen - and I collect cookbooks." - Janet Wood, Homerville, Georgia.

"Such a treasure. I've read it through and now I'm hungry. You must be a magnificent cook. " - Ann Paulson, Ponte Vedra, Florida
