the boot e-cookbook: ten [easy] italian recipes

First and foremost I must say that I have the greatest admiration and respect for any sort of published author. So much time and sweat and planning and formatting went into this teeny tiny project of mine, so I can only imagine what “real” authors, especially of cookbooks, go through. That being said, it was the most fun idea I’ve had since starting this blog. From start to finish it took three long months to create - July until now - mainly because I was trying to dedicate time to daily blog posts and life as well. Even so, I was in my element during the whole process: drafting the recipes, testing them, writing them, photographing, editing and googling like a maniac when Open Office would insert weird page breaks or delete sections. 
This e-cookbook of mine is only a small part of what four years of living in Italy has taught me to do in the kitchen. I have lots more to reveal, but think of this as a stepping stone into a world of real, Italian cooking, from the basics. Just as I learned, so can you, even if you’ve never cooked before. 

And so, I am very happy to announce that the boot’s first e-cookbook, “ten [easy] italian recipes” is now for sale! $2.99 is a small price to pay for this kind of deluxe info, so get it while it’s hot. :) I thank all of you in advance for the encouragement, the support, and most importantly, your passion like mine for good food and great living! Finally, a huge mention must be given to Kate, best mom ever, for testing my creations and helping out immensely!

    do you know how the download works - is it saved to an account that I can access anywhere, or should I buy it from my home laptop? want to make sure that I can check it when necessary, as I know it will be my mini Bible!
