I wasn't fishing...  honest...

However - you publish, I'm sure I can think of a food

Um, no.  I'd like to write a food history book (bit a fantasy of mine) but I
lack the following:

1) A good grounding in writing (I only got a C- in creative writing in yr11)
2) A idea
3) Time to actually write it.

There is a cooking shop here with an auditorium that will allow me to teach a
cooking class on Sunday arvo (they wont pay me - but I'd be cool) but I must
work on my public speaking and the class notes first.

Any idea what publishers are looking for in a cookbook?

Cheers,

Drakey.
