Gingerbread cookbook by Jennifer McGlinn
If you recall, last year, I told you about the first cookbook I contributed to, styling and photographing the foods. Jennifer, the author, came to my house for a few days to work — we immediately became friends. Her cookbook was just published and I am so honored to have been able to work with her and the people at Chronicle Books.
It’s a book about Gingerbread and every goodie that comes with it. It’s funny to think about it. I was three months pregnant when I worked on this project last summer. It was so hot, I remember, and I was completely morning sick, but it was a marvelous experience to team with Jennifer. She’s funny and witty, and full of energy–we worked really well together.
Her book is now available in bookstores and amazon, if you are interested. And, since I baked all the recipes with pictures attached, I can tell you that they work fantastically! So if you like gingerbread, you know what to do next. It’s the season!
Note that the second picture (a gingerbread I baked from her recipes) in this post is not in Jennifer’s book, but I just liked it so wanted to put it here! Simple and tasty!

Congratulations to both of you! I was very “all-day-morning” sick too, just hearing about food was enough to make me nauseous, so I can’t even imagine how you did this, but it’s beautiful. Bravo!

There is a Chronicle Books boutique store only a couple blocks from my apt. – next time I stroll by, I’ll be sure to check out the beautiful book!

Et voilà, il est commandé ! J’ai hâte de m’y plonger, il a l’air vraiment de saison. Je compatis pour ton état durant le shooting, je ne sais pas comment tu as survécu aux nausées
Moi, j’ai fait la grève du blog pendant quasiment tout le 1er trimestre…

Gorgeous photos and love the simplicity of it all.
I have just started reading a magazine called Poetry of Food, poetryoffood.com, and it is similar in ambition your site, although more of a magazine than a blog. Check it out, amazing recipes and photos, with quirky writers.
Keep up the great photos!

Bonjour Béa! J’ai acheté ce livre en décembre dernier et… c’est seulement maintenant que j’ai remarqué ton nom dessus! Shame on me…
Tes photos sont superbes, Jennifer a eu raison de te choisir
Les recettes sont alléchantes elles aussi, j’en ai déjà testé quelques-unes.
J’ai eu en réel coup de foudre pour ce livre en l’achetant, mais maintenant il me plaît encore plus
Salutations!
