...Guide to Whoopie Pies, has nearly landed!
It's been a long hard summer - in between baking lots of whoopie pies I have been meticulously documenting my whoopie pie recipes as I go, spending far too many late nights baking and dressing the little darlings for photoshoots, and finally (nearly) have something to show for it - Baking Whoopies: the Seasonal Guide to Whoopie Pies is available to pre-order from Amazon and other online bookshops now!
Published by Indepenpress, and officially released on 10th November, I can't wait to see the finished product. It's taken a lot of work, but we got there (I was going to go for the cliche blood, sweat and tears, but that doesn't really sound all that hygenic when used in the same sentence as a recipe book).
In a month by month format, the recipes lead you through the seasons with a combination of both sweet and savoury whoopie pie recipes. A personal favourite is honey and lavender, and from the savoury I'd go for cheese and Marmite.
I've also included all three measurement systems within the recipes, so no matter what your preference you don't need to keep flicking backwards and forwards to convert. I personally favour imperial - a bit of an oddity I know, as it was all metric by the time I started cooking. Don't know why, imperial just feels somehow naturally elegant to me.
The baking-a-book-process has been amazing. Full of ups and downs (mostly ups I'm glad to say). It's all been so horrendously exciting, I'm quite surprised I haven't exploded already. And can't guarantee I won't at some point soon if the book doesn't arrive! I've been really, really lucky to have an editor who's been as enthusiastic as me, and as keen to make sure the look and feel of the book works. And put in a scary amount of hours... At least the whoopie weekenders are finally out of the way now!
