Delighted to announce that the Relish Mama cookbook won a bronze medal in New York this month in the IPPY awards.

The IPPY awards honor the year’s best independently published titles from around the world. The awards are intended to bring increased recognition to the thousands of exemplary independent, university, and self-published titles published each year.

The awards ceremony was held last night in New York. I didn’t get there personally but could not be prouder of what we have achieved and the absolutely beautiful feedback from those of you cooking from these pages each week is very heart warming.

The cookbook is still available online via the Relish Mama store here as well as the selected stockist listed on same page.

Also thrilled to announce that the presence of this baby of mine is about to spread. We have established a relationship with a distributor who will distribute our cookbook Nationally (and internationally) as of early June as well as list it with some reputable online stores.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments, the cyber hugs, the ‘real’ hugs and for supporting this delicious book and Relish Mama with such gusto. I have itching’s to do another ………….one day!
