Yes, FINALLY, it’s in the works! Four books/volumes will be published this year via Kindle Direct Publishing at Amazon in the UK, USA and Europe. I will also sell my Authors copies via this blog if there are people who prefer to not buy through Amazon…but I’m jumping the gun a bit (because I’m excited!).
Well, so far I’ve designed the covers of my first two recipe books AND created all the book layouts inside too! (now to add in the photos, text and graphics).Yes it’s happening! I knew I’d get stuff done during the Christmas break by switching off from everything else.
Have a goal of 50 recipes from my blog in each of the 4 volumes/recipe books. They will be working recipe books so space for notes and jottings. I’ve meant to do this for years. You never find time unless you MAKE time so yes I’ve been spending most of Christmas working long hours and looking like sh*t!!! Haha! Am so excited though!! It will be a dream come true when I get this first one finished!

PS: I anticipate the first paperback book will be completed and ready to order by end of SPRING. It will be available via Amazon and on my Authors page at www.CarolynHyland.com and here of course.
The 1940's Experiment

You are most welcome! I have posted some 1930s recipes on my blog I found in my 1930s magazines, and also the Nut Pudding recipe which I made from the 1940 cookbook. I’m a vegetarian with lactose and gluten intolerances, but I find there are enough vintage recipes to adapt. they tend to be the ones with potatoes, cheese, nuts, eggs and vegetables!

How brilliant Carolyn, well done. I might have to break my ‘no buying books in 2023’ goal just for you.
Happy New Year Carolyn, here’s to a wonderful 2023. xx
