So it’s been a few months now that my seasonal cookbook has been in your hands. And I have finally had time to reflect on how I feel about the whole process. What I loved, hated, struggled with and enjoyed most. Finishing Grow to Gather feels surreal. Like something someone tells you one day as […]
