Cookbook research

I’m flirting with idea of writing a Lake Annecy cookbook... Here are a few of my early comps!

1) How to Eat a Peach by Diana Henry 2) My Paris Kitchen by David Leovitz

1) No-Recipe Recipes by Sam Sifton 2) Savoie by Madeleine Kamman

• How to Eat a Peach by Diana Henry - My God, I love her writing and visual style. The book itself is fuzzy… like a peach. Such a beautiful book.

• My Paris Kitchen by David Leobvitz - This book is as much about Paris as it is about the recipes. That’s what I want to do for Lake Annecy.

• No-Recipe Recipes by Sam Sifton - this is how I write recipes. More like a list of ideas and suggestions - not a tedious instruction manual.

• Savoie by Madeleine Kamman - The only English language cookbook I could find that is focused on this region. And it’s out of print! But I managed to procure a copy of World of Books. :)
