Psst, did you hear? I published my first ebook, 20 Baked Goods!

What a super year this is; even if time flies fast, I am happy to announce and show you a bit of my published ebook! This ebook is filled with delicious baked goods, from desserts to pies to savory lunches! And mouthwatering pictures from a food photographer’s passionate heart!

It’s no secret that I love to bake for any occasion, and sometimes I even bake because I want to always have something sweet in the house. And you can often see lots of baked goods pictures on my Instagram. I often get the question: where did you learn to bake, who eats all of these cakes and if I would like to share recipes! I love to create crazy recipes but also very classic recipes and easy cakes. And I love writing, blogging, and tasting new flavors. So why not make an ebook about it?

Why did I choose 20 Baked Goods as an ebook subject?

Baking is something I really enjoy doing. And after three years of collecting my baking recipes and capturing the soul of many dishes with my camera. I decided that the fastest way for me to get an ebook out would be of course to publish one about baked goods!

Life doesn’t always have to be difficult in the kitchen; you can create delicious and stunning recipes with next to nothing. And I am also very proud that I started collaborating this year with Dr. Oetker, my favorite brand for baking ingredients and supplies. It gave me a little push to get this ebook out too!

It was time to finish at least one cookbook, as it was how Casadelavida.nl was born. The idea was to create one cookbook filled with delicious recipes from France, Spain, and the Netherlands. But as self-publishing is expensive and difficult when just starting, the flame under this project died.

But what made me change my mind and made this first 20 baked goods ebook happen?

During the Christmas holidays, I was working hard on the Members’ Club magazine’s fourth edition. And this got me thinking, I got the idea of putting myself a hard deadline and getting that first ebook out at the end of January 2023. Of course, I had preferred to offer a printed book. But seeing that I am just starting, it would be better to create an ebook and see what the future brings!

After working on it for the last 3 weeks non-stop, we can present the ebook that we’ve worked very hard on: 20 baked goods! Filled with my favorite go-to recipes, the book is divided into 3 chapters: the easy classics, the show-offs, and the craziest flavors and combinations. The ebook contains more recipes than the title says, but that is a surprise for you!

A food photographer’s passion!

The picture in the ebook are pictures I took at the start of my journey two years ago, and some of them are just a few weeks old! I was very scared to use older pictures, but as my wise friend Katharina said: it’s part of your journey and growth! And as I have grown as a food photographer and baker over the last few years, it was my dream and goal to create a book with delicious recipes and stunning photography that goes with it!

And that is the thing here: I am not just a baker, an ebook author, or a food photographer. I have broad interests, and I want to learn and can never sit still. And when thinking of a name and marketing plan for the ebook, I came up with great ideas to make other ebooks easier! So I hope you are ready for what the future holds, my friends, as this year will be when I achieve my goals and dreams as a food photographer and recipe developer.

What can you expect in the 20 Baked Goods ebook?

I don’t want to say I am the best baker with this ebook, but I think it’s a good idea to share my favorite baking recipes and some baking & kitchen tips with the world. And this is just the start of something for this year as I have to do and create things, my friends! It’s filled with sweets and savory recipes, and I added this delicious creme brulée I often make for guests in the book, as I think it fits the book’s theme perfectly! And if you are looking for other delicious cake recipes, let me share with you a few here, the Spiral Quiche, the Cauliflower Lasagna, and one of my favorite cakes, the Beets Mousse Chocolate cake!

Thank you!
