I'm looking forward to your book for several reasons, because it's about vegetables, and because it's about your relationship with your father. Half British. half Belgian/French, my childhood was spent in SE Asia where my British father spent much of his career. After his retirement, he started an organic fruit farm in Thailand. Quite independently, and much earlier, I found my own way into food, writing about food as a sideline to science-writing, and eventually working with small-farm non-profits in the US. Though not a vegetarian -- I still like dairy and eggs - I eat mostly vegetables. Ties to family and childhood friends from Asia have also taken me to Australia, where I found an open-hearted and creative approach to food that's very appealing. There's no canonical Australian cuisine, so it's all in the making, and I look to you as as someone helping to shape a new way of eating for the world.
Hi Patricia and thank you for sharing. I enjoy reading about all the ways we come to understand our identities, which are unique to each person. I love that food allows us to connect to our heritage and our roots, but also connects us to each other. Thank you, I think you'll really enjoy Tenderheart. Grateful that you are part of this community, Hetty
I’m very excited for this book! Your books are among my favorites and I’m not even vegetarian. :) I have great hopes that your U.S. edition includes metric measurements as opposed to standard. They are so much more accurate and easier to scale! Congratulations on the new book.
Hi Jessica, I'm very anxious to make the preorders available in the US and everywhere else. Just waiting on info from publishers! Thanks for your patience, Hetty
Canada has to wait for the US version right? We are officially metric, but I don't think publishers let us buy the UK versions. New book sounds very exciting! Congratulations.
Will the Australian edition be available in the UK in September or is the UK part of “international”? (I order cookbooks written by British authors from Book Depository even though I’m American.)

Yes, I make sure that there are cups and grams. The cups will be US cups but you can't go wrong with grams! Hope you enjoy it....Thanks Ginger, Hetty

How vegan friendly are the recipes? Is it like To Asia with Love (really clear vegan labelling and veganise options).
YES to both, its the same format as To Asia, With Love! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the veganising!
