Have you worked for large companies in the past? If you have, that is a good thing. Take a look at your resume. What well-known trusted company names are on there? If you have some, they can help you build trust with your new audience because people make associations.
My first encounter with Celeste Yarnall was on Facebook in 2009. I noticed she had written a book about holistic cat care with a beautiful Tonkinese cat on the cover. I had owned a Tonk that was an absolute love, so I wanted to find out more about her connections to these beautiful loving cats. We became friends online and discovered that we had many other interests in common. We exchanged books and I wrote a book review for her on Amazon. Celeste wrote a book review for my book, The Rose Cookbook.
When I finally decided to finish my first cookbook in 2007, I needed help to stay focused and finish the job. One of the techniques I have used since then that is extremely helpful is visualization. I recommend this technique to all of my clients because it works.

One of my clients, Chef Franco Lania has become good at making videos for his cooking demonstrations. For me, this has really been great to watch. When I first began working with him in February of 2010, he didn’t have too much experience with video. But now he has a whole catalog of his videos on his You Tube and Vimeo channels. And…he edits them!
But… I decided to take the “high road.” First off, I had to be honest with myself. I knew in my heart I wouldn’t be getting another job. I had way too much going on to do that.

For people who love food or love to cook, they will enjoy the opportunity to temporarily get into the mind of someone who cooks for many, very often in exclusive places, or for dignitaries, or in their own restaurant that has been built on blood, sweat and tears.

And the drama is not staged as it often is on the more recent TV food shows that often pit chef against chef. Chefs are passionate people and a chef’s memoir is the real deal!
