Psy S Golden Bestzip
Srikanth Fonseca
While the heartfelt sentiment and philosophy I shared then rings just as true nearly a year later, I realize now just how bold and overly optimistic that statement was. Because writing a cookbook is no joke. And deciding to write and photograph a cookbook while also working full-time? Well, hindsight informs me that it's been both the best decision and the most insane decision I've ever made.It's been a roller coaster of emotions with some of the most joyful highs and tearful lows, some of the most intense of which occurred over the last two weeks as I worked day and night to finalize 130+ photos and chapter edits.
Over the last year, I've stomped on cookies/thrown donuts, eaten cookies off the floor, and most recently, sobbed on Dan's shoulder while muttering nonsense about converting photos from sRGB to CMYK colorspace (
But beneath all of the tough feelings and difficult moments, there was a well of the most reassuring sense of gratitude and peace. And if my biggest stressor is having too much on my plate because I chose to overfill it, then I best zip my mouth and thank my lucky stars.
I've had this recipe photographed and ready to share for over two weeks, and it's been driving me a bit nutty to have it burning a hole in my Wordpress post queue. But I'm so happy to finally have a moment to post it!
Sweet potatoes and golden beets are spiralized into long, flowing swirls of noodles. They're piled high and tossed in a nutty, tangy, subtly sweet sesame-almond dressing and topped with scallions, cilantro, crushed raw almonds, and a few rounds of red chili peppers (if you're up for a kick). It reminds me of a simpler version of this jicama noodle salad (one of my all-time favorites), and the root vegetables add a hearty, enticing twist.
It's so wonderful when all your hard work pays off and you can see the top of the mountain and know that you are closer to that top. I have been throwing around the idea of writing my first cookbook for a while now and after reading this post you have inspired me to tackle that drean and just go for it.
I look forward to seeing your cookbook soon.
This recipe looks very flavorful and it's perfect for a lite spring and summer time meal!
I will have to purchase a vegetable spiralizer in order to make this dish. I am sure the vegetable spiralizer will come in handy for many other dishes as well for I have been curious about making vegetable pasta. Any good suggestions on a good brand that doesn't cost so much?
I am beyond excited to receive your new cookbook via mail. I am even more excited to know that the cookbook will feature over 130 plus photo's of various recipes! Yaay! :) I haven't a clue what all it entails when it comes to writing a cookbook since it's hard for me to even write one paragraph. lol
All of your hard work has and will pay off in the end! I am sure you will have nothing less than 5 stars reviews for your cookbook! I am happy that I stumbled across your website for your recipes are approachable and non intimidating.
