Burnt Off'rings my first cookbook! I wrote and then used only the recipes I submitted to Helium.com back in 2009, but have since then gotten remarried and changed my last name. These were me, then. My exciting cookbook was compiled by me, now (Sheila von Maltitz) and about me including my past writings. I'm releasing it now (2025) proclaiming it to be a cookbook anyone could sit comfortably and read while sipping a good cup of coffee; and not merely using it for the fabulous techniques and recipes inside the covers. I wrote all the recipe articles, the me I was then, and these were tested by my husband(s) and many of my dear family members. As a gourmet cook, I am continually experimenting with upbeat recipes and investigating new food trends. I thoroughly enjoy rewriting old and inventing new recipes. Having been in the food service industry for most of an extensive career, this just comes naturally. These things combined with my current Foodie interests do capture my thoughts quite well. "Thank you for your interest in my writing!"
