The English translation of our cookbook filled with French family recipes is complete, and I’m now busy working on the French version. Progress is going well, and I can already envision the final result taking shape. When working in three languages like I do, staying organized is key. One handy trick I use is adding mini-illustrations to my index list. At a glance, I can see which recipes are finished. A tiny watercolor indicates the recipe is ready in all three languages—a visual delight to work with!

Last week, I had the pleasure of shipping out more orders, and it’s always such a delightful task. It’s wonderful to see the recipes we’ve poured so much love and care into finding their way into the hands of others. The feedback I receive from customers is truly heartwarming and inspiring.

But alongside work, we consciously make time to enjoy the delightful autumn weather. Just yesterday, for instance, we took a long walk under the brilliantly blue sky. The crisp fall air does wonders for both body and mind. Afterward, we treated ourselves to a healthy salad for lunch—simple, yet so flavorful.

Once the French translation of the cookbook is complete, I’ll begin working on part two of our family cookbook. The watercolors for this volume are already finished, and I’m genuinely excited to dive into the next phase. The process is always a blend of hard work and creative joy, with each day bringing new challenges and moments of fulfillment.

The pleasant weather makes everything a little brighter, turning daily tasks into something that feels more like a celebration. Every day remains a fresh challenge, one we approach with enthusiasm and a smile.

Soon, the e-books of the English and French translations will be available in our online store. Additionally, we offer the option to order a Print-On-Demand (POD) copy. Our cookbooks, enriched with beautiful hand-painted watercolors, are filled with authentic French family recipes and are a true treasure for anyone who loves culinary traditions.

I’m looking forward to the weeks ahead, filled with new recipes, stories, and, of course, even more watercolors!
