COOKBOOKLETS

As most of my readers know, my two passions in life are cooking and painting, and every once in a while I like to combine the two loves and I come up with a cookbooklet for your enjoyment.  I get to enjoy doing all the artwork, writing and recipe testing, and you get to enjoy viewing and trying out what I am offering you.   I like to think of it as a win/win situation.

 

Just in time to celebrate the first day of summer, my newest cookbooklet is ready.  Called Easy Summer it is filled with 44 pages of delicious, quick and easy recipes to help you feed your family during the summer months whilst maintaining your cool, with little effort on your part! Ideas for Breakfast, Lunch and Supper, plus hints and tips for getting the  most out of these warm summer days.  Breakfasts include tasty compotes, smoothies, and a few baked goodies!! Lunch and Supper dishes are composed of variety of salads, mains and tasty grills!!!  Dessert will have you smacking your lips and wanting more!! 

There are photos of most of the recipes and little bits of art throughout. Some recipes: House Granola, Yogurt Parfaits, Fresh Peach & Oat Muffins, Panzanella, Vietnamese Prawn Salad, Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Tuna Melt Tart, Buttermilk Cake, Strawberry Devonshire Tart, Lemon and Raspberry Syllabub to name a few.  In all there are 58 + recipes and plenty of tips to help you make the best of all the summer produce which is available these next few months and make your summer a very tasty one!  

It will come to you as a downloadable PDF file, which I will personally e-mail to you.  I promise that all will be mailed within 24 hours of your payment clearing, which allows for the differences in time between North America and here in the UK.    You will need to have the latest version of Adobe Reader enabled on your computer or device and you will also need to have my e-mail in your safe mail folder.  (mariealicejoan at aol dot com) Its available at the same low price of £5 ($6.36 American).   

I didn't always live in England.  For the first 45 years of my life I lived in Canada and I experienced a delicious Thanksgiving for every one of those years.   I learned from my Grandmother's lessons and my mother's lessons and I built on that knowledge with things I taught myself.   Over the past fifteen years I have continued to build on that knowledge through my work and experience as a personal chef for an American family as well as cooking for and introducing this lovely holiday tradition to my British family and friends and I think I can safely say that I have pretty much honed all of that experience and knowledge down to a level where I feel comfortable sharing it with my readers in this, my very first Thanksgiving Primer.   My sister asked me, what was a Primer.  A Primer is a how to book . . .  an instructional book . . .  filled with tips and how to's and this Thanksgiving Primer is just that . . .  all of the experience I have accumulated through all the years in one easy to follow, instructional manual all about Thanksgiving and how to make it the best holiday ever.

 A concise cumulation of my 40 odd years of experience at cooking Thanksgiving Dinners for family, friends, employers . . .  and all that I have to share about doing it right, and with confidence, with no fail recipes and the right tools.

54 pages of knowledge, with colour pictures and art.  With hints, tips and recipes for everything from kitting out your kitchen to what to do with the leftovers when you are finished and all is said and done.  The only thing I can't do for you is cook it and clean it up!

Offered now at the introductory price of only £3, which is a £2 saving off of the normal price of my other cookbooklets.   I really think you will be pleased with this Primer.  I've been working really hard at getting it done and out here in time for you to be able to use it for your Thanksgiving this year.

It will come to you as a downloadable PDF file, which I will personally e-mail to you.  I promise that all will be mailed within 24 hours of your payment clearing, which allows for the differences in time between North America and here in the UK.    You will need to have the latest version of Adobe Reader enabled on your computer or device and you will also need to have my e-mail in your safe mail folder.  (mariealicejoan at aol dot com)

FEEDBACK:

 Marie,

Thank you so much for putting together these cookbooks.  Can hardly wait to try many of the recipes; and the paintings are simply wonderful and well worth the price of the books all on their own.

Susi  

Dearest Marie,

Thank you for the four recipe books, I am loving reading them and will have so much fun and enjoyment cooking and baking from them for friends and family.  They are treasures, and the touches you add and delightful illustrations are a joy.    I cannot recommend your cook booklets enough.

Heartfelt thanks and blessings!

Sincerely,

Terese

COOKING AT THE MANOR

As most of you will know, I worked and cooked on a beautiful Manor Estate down in Kent for a number of years.   This was a wonderful experience for me and I learned a lot while I was working there.  I got to cook with the finest equipment and ingredients in one of the most beautiful environments anyone could ever want to work in.

From simple every day meals, to beautiful luncheons with the ladies, to silverservice dinner parties and everything in between, I did it all, and never had any complaints from either my employers or the guests, especially the guests.  It was a job I really loved.   I have been asked for many years would I do a booklet about my experiences there and I have finally finished Volume one of my experiences as a Manor chef.  There was far too much to put into one cook-booklet alone!


In this one you will find the menus and recipes for the very first Dinner Party which  I cooked for them,along with their Thanksgiving Menu, several ladies luncheons,  every day suppers, a special brunch, a Birthday Dinner for the Mr, and a lot of other bits and bobs, including the roll recipe which I used for every party, some favourite nibbles, etc.  49 pages of recipes and antedotes, including photographs of the Manor Grounds, a few of the rooms, table settings, etc.  I think this is a booklet everyone will enjoy . . .  a small peek into how the other half lives.




All of my secrets to success are right here, and it's available to you now for the same low price as all of my others at only £5. This will be delivered to your e-mail as a downloadable PDF file, ready to print or store on your computer as you desire within 24 hours of your payment clearing. If ordering please make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader enabled, and that my e-mail address is in your safe folder!
