One day I plan to write a cookbook. Sure, along with organizing all those old photos!

Part of my cookbook collection

Honestly, I collect cookbooks and would love to choose the recipes, design the layout, and take the photos.

In March, I am going to learn how.  I'll be attending From Pantry to Published: The 2-Day Legacy Cookbook Workshop where I will meet celebrity cookbook authors, a food photographer and nationally recognized cookbook publisher. Please join me for this fabulous event.
