Thanks so much for the shoutout! I’m thrilled to be included in your recommendations. I like the idea of a special cookbook column but don’t have any suggestions for names because I’m also crap at thinking of cool names. I called my newsletter Book Chat because I was spending all my time thinking of clever names and not actually doing anything productive. Maybe you could call it something vaguely Italian in keeping with the Dash of Prosecco theme. Big hugs and I hope your back feels better soon.

Thank you so much for the shoutout, Sinù- I really appreciate it! Also, I love your idea. RE the title, I'd got for something Italian too.

What a great idea Sinù, I love it! I also love Agatha Christie. Nothing spells cozy more than reading a cozy mystery i the winter, especially if it involves food!

I imagine this cookbook (first published in 1938!) might be up your alley - https://www.amazon.com/Vilna-Vegetarian-Cookbook-Garden-Fresh-Rediscovered/dp/0805243275

Yes please to the book thing! And I must work out how you do all this wonderful 'leave a comment' stuff. It makes it so interactive and wonderful.

And sorry to hear about your back pain. I haven't been paying attention and didn't realise you suffer so much from it. My best wishes, I better go I'm in the middle of writing an email and delving in to the Elizabeth period (multi-tasking as always)

My best wishes, love your writing,

Paul Couchman

I get a slew of magazines with great recipe and stories. I was thinking of creating a cooking show around them with the concept of the home cook, but it’s hard since they have specifics, but I’m working on some get around. I know I would. love to know more about cooking form books, but never seem to have time to read them all. I spend most of my time on Bread Baking Books. LOL

I think it’s a great idea. I was thinking of something like this only with all the magazines I get. I know I would be interested and I’m sure others would also.

So you have to know that every Christmas I select one or two mystery novels to read, as this is, for me, the perfect Christmas reading. Guess what I just added to my list for this Christmas? Thank you so much for the inspiration, and for the useful and juicy selection of links to browse through!

What a fun idea! Also, I’ve somehow never read Agatha Christie and now I want to read the book you mentioned!
