Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a First time author who has self published my very own cook book via reach publishers. I have a great passion for food and cooking and recently I decided to share my passion with the world. For many years I have been compiling and testing recipes so that I could finally bring to you many amazing recipes which are South African Indian Style dishes. Apart from being an Author, I spend most of my days sharing recipes, food tips and tutorial pics on all the major social sites eg. Facebook, twitter, instagram, pinterest etc.
The Pocket 109 cook book is my first book published. There will be more editions to this book. Keep an eye out for these. Happy Cooking!!!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Pocket 109 Cook Book is my first and latest book which is inspired by my late grandmother, who kept steering me to reach my goals year after year without giving up.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Many South African Indian Cookbooks have influenced me as I own a few and for all the misleading and annoying stuff that I found in those books which were my personal opinions, I was certainly sure to correct them in the writing of my book, so that my book would be a true South African Indian Style recipe book.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on the 2nd and 3rd editions to The Pocket 109 Cook Book, which will be available during 2017 and 2018.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Facebook as I have over a 1000 followers already and my fan page is still growing.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
If you have a passion to write a book be it any book, dont give up no matter what. Motivate yourself and stay positive. Set your goals and go for it one step at a time and remember Rome wasn’t built in a day…..be patient, focused and market yourself and your book even before it has been published.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
“Beautiful things happen in your life when you distance yourself from all the negativity and drama”
