The Cookbook Guru is Going On The Shelf
As the new year dawns so too does what happens in our kitchens change and I’m sad to say it’s time to call it a day and place The Cookbook Guru back onto the bookshelfat the end of 2015.
The past two and a bit years have produced some amazing food, exposed me to some amazing cookbooks and best of all helped me to get to know my fellow food bloggers. I’ve been so proud of the contributions, the honest analysis and the standard of work we’ve created for The Cookbook Guru.
If you loved watching us be The Cookbook Guru, then make sure you follow the contributers individually on their blogs to share in the wonderful food and other things that happening in their kitchens.
I certainly plan to keep exploring my cookbooks and look forward to sharing my foodie experiences with you all.
Happy Cooking and Happy Eating,
Leah
Sharing The Food We Love
I will miss the Cookbook Guru very much Leah. Even though I missed a few challenges lately, I loved reading how others interpreted them. I enjoyed being introduced to Mrs Beeton, which I ended up buying, as well as ordering various books from the library,and coming home with a stack more. Being required to follow a recipe, then assess it, is really important for all good cooks.
Today we are often overloaded, even satiated, with too many pretty food images- foodporn if you like- from free supermarket mags, to other magazines such as Donna Hay, Delicious, Gourmet Traveller, as well as food bloggers. TV cooking shows and more. Your delightful blog tended towards the classics, often older books without glossy pictures, thus giving free rein to our imagination with regard to presentation.
Maybe CG is on the shelf for now- but one day you might take it down again. I hope so. Francesca.xx
Oh thank you Francesca. I’ve loved the Cookbook Guru too for all its taught me and the recipes it has exposed me too. Not to mention getting to know my fellow foodies better. It may be back, but for now this is the best decision. I just don’t have time to look after it like it deserves. Xx Leah
I am sad to see you go, but I do understand your decision. Who knows, maybe there will be a new incarnation of The Cookbook Guru in the future!
Happy cooking, and thank you for many wonderful posts.
Thank you. I wish I had more time to continue it but for now it’s the right thing to do 🙂
😀
It certainly was fun (and educational) while it lasted. Thanks Leah for being such a gracious host.
Thanks for all your work in keeping this running. I’ve enjoyed being part of it this past year.
Hi Leah, I will truly miss being a part of this blog which has introduced me to many fab recipes. Thank you so much for your hard work in pulling this all together and all my very best wishes for the future. xx
Thanks so much Taryn and thank you for your fabulous contributions to The Cookbook Guru. Happy New Year, Leah xx
Sad, but probably a good thing to call an end. I enjoyed writing my posts for the Cookbook Guru. And, as Francesca says, it opened up new avenues for us all. I certainly bought a few of the cookbooks. I will certainly miss it!
Thank you for being such an amazing contributer, I loved seeing your posts and reading your experiences of the recipes. I’m so glad you enjoyed the past few years of The Cookbook Guru. Hopefully there will be a time when it can come off the shelf again 🙂 Happy New Year xx leah
that’s sad news leah. but i guess with a new baby, your time is not your own! see you around the virtual blocks.
