This is so inspiring, even for those who aren’t great sketchers (aka, me!). I love to follow your process, and of course I adore your kitchen sketchbook!

I'm so glad it inspired you!!! There's so much delight to be had from writing words in blank books too - sketching is optional!! And your ways of collecting thoughts, memories and experiences in your Substack posts are inspiring to me!!! Kitchen cooks unite!!!! 🍳 🫶😘😋🥰

And thanks again!!!!

Wonderful. Treating sketchbooks like new members of the family. Getting to know their specific traits and interests. Very cool. Inspirational. Thanks so much.

I greatly enjoyed this ode to your notebooks, with the bonus of your breakfast cum sketching process. It sounds like a great way to get yourself in the right headspace to start the day.
