Alongside other creative projects, I’ve been working on this personal project for some time now. 🧁📖✨
The creation of this book has been a beautiful journey that I have had the honor of doing alongside my Nana. ‘Morning Tea at Nana’s’ is a recipe book full of my Nana’s treasured recipes, and stories of their lives, with learnings, quotes, and baking tips! It truly is a treasure that will be passed down to our family for generations to come! 🥰
Before I took on this project with my Nana (The Queen of baking) I had very little baking experience. After baking every one of these recipes multiple times, photographing them, and turning them into a book… It’s fair to say, this book has changed my life. People now ask me to bring baking or desserts to gatherings… Which was never the case before! I actually enjoy baking and creating things from scratch too, there is something so soothing about taking the time to be completely present in the moment and simply just follow a recipe.
I also did all of the design and illustrations for but I did have help along the way with the early stages of photography and final editing from the most wonderful woman!
Fair to say there were a lot of leanings along the way, as well as lengthy phone calls with Nana. There was lots of baking made, consumed, shared and enjoyed too! 💜
This is one of the copies that we printed for our direct family last Christmas. We have made some further refinements and are now opening orders up to the public and plan to have 200 copies printed this month!! If you’d like to get your hands on a copy, send me a DM with the word BOOK and I’ll send you the details to pre-order your copy!! ✨
