simply.food will be celebrating its 5th Blog anniversary on 28th October, it only seems yesterday when I entered the food blogging community. I never knew that food would become such an integral part of my life when I started blogging.Over the last 5 years simply.food has grown from strength to strength, I have made numerous friends all over the world, attended many foodie events, worked with many brands, learn't to cook some very innovative dishes ranging from Indian, to international to Asian and continental.

Like any other food blogger, as my confidence grew with my posts, I started to dream of writing a cookery book. I made notes, did lots of brainstorming, sourced ingredients and set about experimenting with different flavours textures and cuisines. I had no budget for a food photographer or food stylist so I began learning about food photography whilst developing recipes for my book.My critics, tasters and judges were my family.Finally I settled on an idea to write two books consisting of 50 recipes in each, one based on simple snacks and the other on  recipes with potatoes the chief ingredient.

 

I have spent over three years creating, tasting, styling and re styling ,clicking not forgetting numerous proof readings and adjustments and  liaising with the publisher. All the hard work and stress has paid off and  I am so proud that my two vegetarian cook books  Easy to cook Snacks and Easy to cook Potatoes are finally ready and available to purchase. Both books offer a selection of  vegetarian multinational cuisines and are all accompanied with colourful photography and easy step by step recipe instructions.They are neat and compact lightweight so perfect for your kitchen shelf ready at hand when you need that simple recipe idea. Both books are perfect for young students living away from home who want a taste of home cooking that is easy and quick to make.

The books are available to purchase on line in Europe, India, China, Australia and in the UK from Waterstones Book shops. They are retailing at £ 9.95 each  and are perfect for Eid, Diwali, Halloween and Christmas Presents.The books can also be purchased directly from simply.food  and as special introduction offer to the celebrate the launch of these books simply.food is offering  25% discount  plus free postage for UK orders when both books are purchased together making them £ 15.00 per pair.
