This is kind of fun, even if only a few people are reading this. Life’s pretty busy right now, so instead of starting a new YA (reading, that is), I’ve been having a look at THE CULINARY BOOTCAMP, a book that I bought for research purposes for the new YA that I’m writing. It’s pretty interesting. As a cook, I’ve already gotten some really good tips. As a vegetarian, it’s a bit hard to take a lot of the time. I mean, chefs and culinary students will eat anything! Even that element will add depth to my story though, and I might have missed it if I hadn’t read this book.
Also, in my desire to attend culinary boot camp, I found a school in England called Cordon Vert (Cordon Green for those who don’t speak French). A vegetarian culinary school with a cool name. I love it. It’s on my list of things to do in the next few years. It’s funny, I always took “write what you know” literally before and never wrote anything I had to research. Now I’m expanding and discovering all kinds of new things, not just for my writing, but for me.
Read well,
Joelle
P.S. Does anybody know how I can get the accent mark on my name in LJ? It doesn’t seem to take a cut and paste from Word…
