Introductions

[Jen]

Hahaha. Yep, you'll fit in perfectly here!! Welcome to the group :)

[Judith]

Fun combinations! Multi-talented:)

[Andy]

Hello! Bakery owner, homesteader and food lover here...although I tend towards the savory at home due to the amount of time bread and pastry take up at work. :)

[Jen]

Welcome to the group Andy!

[Dana]

Hello! What a fun group this looks to be :)

As partly Italian, I come by my adoration of good food honestly!I love reading books about food about as much as I like cooking and eating good food--what a genius idea for a group like this! Looking forward to chiming in :)

[Jen]

Hey Dana :) Welcome!

[Dana]

Thanks, Jen :)

[Janel]

Hello!

My name is Janel and I am addicted to foodie fiction. My love for the genre began years ago when I discovered culinary mysteries. Then I progressed onto literary culinary fiction, foodie memoirs, etc. I need to get a larger bookshelf to house my foodie fiction books, since they are stacked on the shelves 2-3 books deep. I'm afraid to calculate how many bookshelves I'd need to house all of my cookbooks in one place!

I am a writer and recently my love for foodie fiction has taken over my writing. I have started a women's fiction series that include recipes. I have also been a blogger for many years.

[Jen]

Welcome to the group Janel! I'm fairly new to foodie fiction so I think I'm in awe of your collection without even seeing it!!

Feel free to mosey around the group. We also have an authors section if you want to tell us about your foodie books.

[Janel]

Thanks, Jen. I'm happy to be here. Tina (Lamb) told me about the group and I had to join. Oh, I forgot all of the foodie fiction on my Kindle. That would be another bookshelf worth if they were all physical books, LOL!

I'll stop over to the author post and let everybody know about what I write. I'm looking forward to chatting with everybody.

[Brian]

Hi everyone, I'm Brian. I enjoy cooking and I look forward to being in this group.

[Jen]

Welcome to the group Brian!

[Christy]

Hi all!
I'm Christy, from Perth, Western Australia (recent transplant from Denver, CO). I love my foodie fiction books and look forward to hearing of new titles for me to read!!
I found the group as I've just read a new foodie book in The Recipe Box which is great!
Here is my review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
Where should we post these in the future?

I too have started a blog - nothing fancy but it's a start - mostly about book reviews, with a few recipes and my other favorite hobby - knitting tied in. Would love for you to check it out and offer any feedback!

Thanks for starting such a great group!!!

[Jen]

Hi Christy! Welcome to the group! And wow, Colorado to Australia must have been a huge change! I'd love to visit both places some day.

We have a section called 'foodie books' and each genre has its own thread. You can recommend new books and maybe find some that you'd like to read :)

Thanks Jen I'll check it out!

[Morgan]

Hi, I love food and just about anything and everything that has to do with it from growing to eating and reading about all of it especially in memoir or novels. I think of myself as an intuitive cook, a dash of this and a sprinkle of that. My favorite dish to make is Lasagna or just about anything with pasta. I taught my girls when they were growing up that the most important ingredient in their food is love. Of course the second ingredient is wine.

I look forward to participating in this group.

Peace,
Morgan

[ladyanna7]

Hello all, I enjoy 6 ingredients and less cookbooks, easy recipes using every day ingredients, and collecting those type recipes. I'm not the best cook but I like reading cookbooks.

Nice to meet you! I hadn't heard of that cookbook but definitely sounds interesting! I have a collection of cookbooks but I usually just use the recipes as a starting point and then change it to my liking.

Look forward to chatting about food with you! Welcome to the group!

[Jen]

Welcome to the group!

I also haven't heard of that cookbook. I love easy recipes with only a few ingredients so that cookbook will probably make it onto my next amazon order!

[Jen]

I was just scoping out Amazon and wow! There are quite a few of the 6 ing. or less books!

[ladyanna7]

Hello Morgan, thanks for the welcome! I am glad to have found this site and group. Some of my favorites are the Fix it and Forget it/Enjoy it Books. Some of them are only 5 ingredient cookbooks and the others have a variety of easy recipes.

Fix-It and Forget-It 5-ingredient favorites: Comforting Slow-Cooker Recipes

Fix-It and Enjoy-It 5-Ingredient Recipes: Quick and Easy--For Stove-Top and Oven!

Fix-It and Forget-It Big Cookbook: 1400 Best Slow Cooker Recipes! Plus "Special Holiday Dishes" Bonus Section!

The Christmas book is nice too.

Hello Jen, thanks for the welcome! There are several of those type recipe books out there....I looked on Amazon the other day too...good prices on several of the books

[Carly Ellen]

Hello Everyone,

This sure looks like a fun group! I'm a food-travel blogger and food fiction novel writer with a serious addiction to any combination of delicious food and fun reading. ;)

My food blog, which features lots of free giveaways and recipes gleaned all over Europe can be found at www.crowdedearthkitchen.com. My novel, How to Bake a Chocolate Soufflé, can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2....

Be Well!

Carly Ellen

[Jen]

Hey Carly! Welcome!

[Jen]

I was just skimming over your blog. Oh my there are a lot of great pictures to drool over! Especially those Austrian desserts! Yum

[Carly Ellen]

Austria was a fun stop, and offered some of the best desserts (until I got to France, which I thought was best... until I got to Belgium...)!

[Florence]

Hello to the food fascinated,
I always loved reading and when I retired, I gravitated to any author who fed me food imagery. Simultaneously, with more time to cook and bake, I read cookbook marginalia, not just recipes. I realized in'06 there were few books about bakeries, and began to write the mostly true story of my grandfather and the family bakery, where I started to work at the tender age of 10.
"The Bakery Girls" chronicles the lives of three women who held the bake shop together at various times in their lives. I related each sister to a treat: Dorothea reinvented bread, Louise uses pie as therapy for WWll vets and Elaine captures a "cake slasher."
I'm looking forward to your posts and already found a great Herbal from Karon.

[Dominique]

Hello,

My name is Dominique and I love to read, make new friends and cooking. I stopped counting how many cooking book I own!

[Florence]

Hi Dominique,
Happy New Year!

Thanks Florence, same to you!

[Kathleen]

Hello All,

Good to be here. My name is Kathleen and I love good food and good friends to share with. Looking forward to all of this.

[Captain Sir Roddy, R.N. (Ret.)]

Hi, everyone! I'm Chris, late-50s, inveterate reader and chef wannabe. I pretty much do all of the cooking in our marriage and I think my wife, Susan, likes it just that way. I have a serious addiction to cookbooks, and I seem to be a pretty good intuitive cook--best of both worlds. Cooking (and eating) is hugely therapeutic for me at the end of a long day in the office. My wife bought me chef's grade stainless steel pots and pans for Christmas this year and I am digging life! Glad to have found all of you here!

[Jen]

Welcome to the group everyone!

[Florence]

Hi Chris and welcome,
Have you read any food related books- not cookbooks that you'd recommend?

Uhh, no, at least not recently as I recall. The reading I do these days is largely associated with classics, modern literature, poetry, and cookbooks

[Louise]

Hello Everyone! I am a pastry chef and writer from Boston. I love to read about cooking and I love to write about it too! Looking forward to discovering new books with this group.

[Florence]

Hi Louise,
I wonder how you got into baking? Do you have a favorite cookbook, that you rely on?
I wrote a novel in which the inspiration for it was a woman named Louise, who sold baked goods!
I'm happy you joined,
Florence

[Jen]

Hi Louise! Welcome to the group

[Shadow Mountain Publishing]

Hi everyone! I'm Sarah and I am the social media gal for Shadow Mountain Publishing and I also happen to love cooking, especially desserts :) I'm always looking for new recipes and love spreading the word about great recipes I make. Shadow Mountain Publishing has some great cookbooks coming out and I will share info about them as well in an appropriate, non-annoying way. I'm excited to be in this group!

[Florence]

Hi Sarah,
Welcome. I understand and will look at your books for Holiday gifts. I was born into a bakery and just returned from a Pennsylvania book tour vacation. I wrote "The Bakery Girls" and am available for skype book events.
With lovin' from the oven,
