Grabbing the ladle

1) Cooking is a labour of love

2) Kneading is better by hand

3) Some ingredients don’t work with everything

4) Wine needs to breathe

Grabbing the ladle

1) Cooking is a labour of love

However, collaborations require professionalism

2) Kneading is better by hand

Without you having touched social media we’re

not talking the same language

3) Some ingredients don’t work with everything

Each blogger and each company have their

needs and priorities

4) Wine needs to breathe

All creative people need respect and freedom
