Almost 14 years have gone by since I’ve been writing for the Cook’n Newsletter. I love my work—what could be better than thinking about, reading about, talking about, writing about FOOD? Well, other than actually eating it, and of course, connecting with such terrific people?

ANYway, I’ve been wondering lately if I’m meeting your needs. That’s the whole point of this newsletter by the way. Besides connecting with and creating a true community of cooking fans, we always want to be sure we’re providing truly useful information. Time is a precious gift, and I don’t want to waste yours on stuff in which you have no interest.

So as I’ve been thinking about this, it occurred to me that over the years I’ve just blathered on month after month, and have never consulted with YOU to see what it is you actually would like to know about.

This said, would you do me a huge favor and take a minute in the comments section below, to answer just 2 questions? I will take your feedback very seriously and go forward with more articles built around your responses. Also, please know I welcome your suggestions and questions.

As I see it, we’re in this together. We’re a family, a family that not only likes to cook, but sees the importance of home cooking, and also likes share what we know about cooking. So if you could take a minute to enlighten me, I’d be really grateful. I want to do a better job of meeting your needs and addressing your interests. (I can’t believe it’s taken me almost 14 years to figure this out. DUH!)

OK, here are the questions. And here is a big hug of appreciation from me as a “THANK YOU!” for sharing what YOU would like to read and know more about!

1. What areas of cooking/baking interest you the most?
2. What areas of cooking/baking don’t interest you at all?
