ABOUT THE BOOK
Somewhere along the way I got obsessed with food. Not so much the eating it, but more the cooking it. It was simply divine to see people relish the food I had prepared and then to see the perfect look of satisfaction on their faces. That was it! I did not need the compliments--it was that look that had me hooked.
You know the one I mean.
A bite, forkful or a spoonful of a dish and as you place it into your mouth your tongue begins to tingle with the burst of flavors you have been craving for all along--but simply were unable to find the perfect combination. You close your eyes because you just want to relish this one second for a moment longer.
That look on people's faces made it all worthwhile. As my recipes and creations became more elaborate I needed a way to express myself. I can talk, cook and eat food for hours. It never bores me. I just needed a way to share my passion, findings, research and experiments and that is the way I got around to creating a blog that mainly focuses on food.
The blog was created within a few minutes and without much thought to it. It was actually created while I had a bake in the oven and my two men came in and asked "What's for lunch?" and right then and there I decided that, this would be the perfect name for a food blog. And so "What's For Lunch, Honey?" was born.
Today, I feel quite proud with every mention, award, accolade or the results of a photo/writing job I have achieved with this blog. I never thought "What's For Lunch, Honey?" would grow and become a prominent part of the Food Blogging community. And I certainly never thought it could grow into a cookbook of my own. But here we are, buns, wraps, roasts and all!

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
I adore Tom's grandmother's cooking, who at the awesome age of 90 still lives alone, baking and cooking some incredible dishes. Her silver hair gleaming in the sunlit kitchen, her small hands kneading or chopping, she tells stories--sometimes happy, but often sad-of how they fled the Nazis during the second world war. Both Soeren and I can listen for hours, my eyes often welling up at the courageous lady standing in front of me making one of her specialties for her great grandson and me. She has a wonderful knack for serving Saxonian specialties, like lentil soup with hearty sausage and quarkkeulchen smothered with cooked
