Dear Chef: An invitation to Share Your Favorite Recipe

Dear Chef,

How comforting it is to end the year with a sense of relief. Yes, the world is still struggling with a devastating pandemic. Yes, we continue to reel from a caustic presidential election. And yes, we are all working to discover the new normal.

So what a blessing it is to look back on all that we’ve been through in 2020, pat ourselves on the back for making it through — and know in our hearts that a new year awaits, one filled with infinite possibilities!

With that goal in mind, we hope to shine a little light to your life with the release of our newest Inkandescent® Book title: Your What’s Next Journal.

  • Filled with insights from 12 industry leaders about what they see coming in their businesses and lives, our goal is to help you flip through the months of the year with their guidance and support.
  • Each month’s chapter also features interactive prompts to help you focus and center your:
    • Mind (writing options from Hope)
    • Body (a series of simple but effective yoga poses)
    • Spirit (52 sets of affirmations)
    • Soul (art ideas by Cynthia)
    • Heart (healthy recipes from 12 of our favorite female chefs) — this is where you come in!

Our goal is to help readers fill the pages with their powerful thoughts and creative representations that will help them to go deeper into their psyche, and truly create the life of their dreams. Here’s where you come in!

What better way to open their hearts than with your favorite recipe?

  • We are inviting you to pick a month (each has its own theme)
  • Share a recipe.
  • Be sure to include your name, title
  • A short bio
  • And a high-res photo

Are you game? If so, scroll down to find our Table of Contents to pick your month. Or, just send us your favorite recipe, and we’ll find a perfect month to match it to.  

Here’s to your incredible, indelible, Inkandescent success! — Hope Katz Gibbs, publisher, Inkandescent Women magazine, www.InkandescentWomen.com / hope@hopegibbs.com
