Hello dear readers.
In the past few months I have been working hard on a very special project that I have been dying to tell you about. And finally, today, I can share it with you.
Yes, you guessed it, I am working on the first Cannelle Et Vanille cookbook. There. I said it. Even though I have been cooking and photographing every day, it still seems a bit surreal. I have to pinch myself every once in a while. But it is true. It is happening. There is still lots of work ahead for me, but the cookbook will be published by Little, Brown and Company in the fall of 2012.


The book will be filled with naturally gluten free small plates and sweet treats. I see it as a continuation of this blog, which is after all the reflection of my cooking and lifestyle philosophies. Divided by seasons, as it's only natural for me, it will be inspired by the produce, smells, colors and feelings that each season evokes.
I will have to show you all my moleskine notebooks, papers, sticky notes, emails to myself... all full of recipes, stories and inspiration.


In months to come, I will be busy cooking, photographing, writing and of course, still watching after my two little ones. They are always my unconditional supporters and recipe testers. Luckily, my parents are also coming to stay with us for a few weeks while I fully dive into the manuscript. It will be a hectic time indeed.
In between, I will definitely find time for this little blog that makes me so happy. I love the instant feedback and spontaneity.
And finally, I have to thank you, dear readers, because none of this would have been possible without you, who have been coming week after week, showing your support and appreciation.
Thank you.

Espero que tengas todo el éxito que te merecés.
Seguramente que será un deleite en todo sentido.
Supongo que será en inglés unicamente, no?
Ya nos dirás como poder conseguirlo a los que vivimos lejos.
Cariños
What great news. I am looking forward to the release.
How wonderful!
These images are mouth-wateringly delicious and I can't wait to see both the process via your Moleskine pages and the finished product,

I. can't. wait. Congrats!!
Yay, Aran! I am so delighted for you! xox
Oooh! I'm very excited about your cookbook! I love your blog and I'm sure your book will be even more deliciousness - in photo and in taste!
I have a blog question for you and if you don't have time to answer, than that is completely ok! I noticed that you have a blogspot blog with different pages underneath your banner such as "about", "licensing", "portfolio", etc. Did you have to write your own html/css code to do that or was there an option in blogspot's settings? I am referring specifically to its placement UNDER the banner, and not on the side area.
Thanks!
Chika- yes, i read it earlier. thank you!
Erika- si, sera en ingles pero quien sabe, a lo mejor lo traduciremos al castellano?
Christy Joy- that is a custom function by designer added. Sorry... I wish I could help more, but I am clueless! :)
Thanks guys! I really, really appreciate your support. This is such an undertaking and wouldn't be possible with you, the audience. So thank you once again!
Congrats, Aran! This is so exciting. I'm sure the book will be beautiful.
Congrats to you! I can't wait to get my hands on your recipes in print. I hope the paper in the cookbook is super lovely and does your photography justice.

Aran, desde tu pequeña patria solo cabe una pequeña gran felicitación, zorionak!!
Aunque un proyecto como este te dará mucho trabajo, no olvides tu blog. Los demás necesitamos cosas sencillas y bellas para deleitarnos de vez en cuando.
Gracias por tus fotografías e historias.
Congratulations Aran! I am a new reader here and I love your pictures and recipes! My 11years old daughter has a celiac disease, so it is nice to find a blog that has so many gluten free recipes! I live in Catalonia with my family (we are from Finland) and I have to say I love basque cuisine and the Basque Country. It is such a beautiful place!
Huge congratulations to you Aran! You deserve it and I cannot wait to pick up a copy for myself and everyone I know! It is sure to be a gem in every kitchen (I know it will be in mine)!

And I'm excited for myself, of course, as your gluten free recipes are always such a treat to see and to make. :)
I'm looking forward to more of your recipes and hopefully you can give some concrete insight into the different rules that GF baking seems to follow (xanthan gum, what?!).
Can't wait!
Elizabeth

felicitaciones! seguramente en algún paseo por fort lauderdale a partir del 2012 no me voy a olvidar de comprar tu libro!
y gracias a vos por tanta inspiración: a través de las recetas, las historias, y sobre todo, las maravillosas fotos!
I have been waiting for this announcement because I just knew there was some wise soul out there who scooped your beautiful world of food and living up with great hopes of sharing to others in a form of a book! I'm beyond excited and will look forward to adding your book to my collection as well as gifting it to many friends whom I know will truly appreciate it as well! Congratulations!
Such fabulous news! Congratulations! It's the next step we've all been waiting for from you :)
It's great. I don't know how to say it because I don't really know you, but reading you, I read a lot more than a recipes. I read a human been, a person that is right there, alive, thinking, feeling and, of course, cooking. The mixture you do with color, and flavours and textures is simply delightful.
Please, pardon my english, I am argentinian. And speaking of that, when it's ready, I would like to buy your book by internet.
