Questions & Answers with Leigh-Chantelle
Because of my travels, not much really happened until I came home in February 2013 for a friend’s wedding. I went over the book concept with my designer friend, Adele who advised that I needed better and new photos. I knew my photographer friend Carol was interested in getting into food photography, so we worked out what was needed, and followed Adele’s guidance to how to set up the shots. In mid-April 2013, I spent a few days preparing for the photo shoot, then spent a few more days cooking, and getting the photos completed with Carol.
Within a month, the photos were chosen and edited, and I worked on a basic layout with Adele. I was off to North America via Fiji for 9 weeks, and then Cambodia for a month, before being in Indonesia for another two months after that. When I was in Indonesia, I finally finished the full write up of the book text, and when I arrived home in Brisbane, mid-October 2013, Adele worked hard to get the proof finished so I could submit and release in time for Christmas.
I had hoped that the book would be out in time for Christmas 2013, but it just didn’t go as planned. We had a few issues with the paper stock and quality, some fraction/icon printing issues and little changes from my end here and there. I’m an extremely patient person, but this was definitely a very good lesson in patience, and letting go of trying to control things, which I have no control over. It was really a blessing in disguise though, as I’d had a bit of a break in between submitting and receiving various new proofs of the book. This was good, as I was able to see things anew and find a few other small things, which needed to be changed.
