I didn't make a big thing of this in my
last post so I'd just like to mention it again.
As the weather was so good for a couple of days last week (and rumour
has it the sun will be out next Friday - yippee!) I have reduced the price of my
ebook "Lush Ice Cream without a Machine" to £1.98 which is about the same price
as a carton of ice cream and much, much cheaper than an ice cream machine. You'd better see here and get a copy so
you'll be ready next Friday!
This method makes rich creamy dairy ice cream
quickly and easily, I promise you, and the reason I wrote the book is that it's
so simple and foolproof that I felt it would be a shame not to pass it
on.
Here is easy peasy Clotted Cream Ice Cream,
one of the first recipes in the book, as part of a twist on traditional Cornish
Cream Tea.
Incidentally and regardless of the above
photo I hope everyone now realises that the Cornish have always been right - it
is jam on first, topped with cream. See here for the maths!
Showing off a bit - sorry!
Look what I saw in Wadebridge.
I know for most people this is not very
exciting but this is the first time I have seen my book in a real, live book
shop and, not only that, in the window and, not only that, above Rick Stein!!!
Tomorrow I am giving a talk to a local
craft group on getting published. This
is the first time I'll have done this too but presume that if I just chat along
giving useful info I've picked up together with some jokes and anecdotes I should be OK and they have
promised coffee and biscuits.
One of the things I am going to stress is
how much work the publicity is, I feel I could sit here on my computer till the
end of time pitching magazines, blogging, tweeting, commenting on Linkedin,
posting on Facebook, emailing and so on and so forth. I don't mind at all, in fact I enjoy it but
at the same time it is a) frustrating (magazines take ages to reply if at all) and b) there is so much to do I keep
forgetting what I am doing. Serves me
right for being so old, I suppose.
And for visitors to Cornwall
