After an 8-hour ferry ride from Denmark, we were warmly greeted by our very successful artist friend, Jarle Rosseland, who announced a change in our week's visit: "You can stay, but I have to go to Iceland tomorrow to install my exhibit on the history of Iceland." Early the next morning, Robert wakes me, coffee in hand: "Get up, we are going to Iceland." The one thing prepared for this surprise trip was my camera. Dianne Boate
EatDrinkFilms - Is a weekly online magazine, curated with original stories in each category. I am a featured "Eat" writer with dozens of published articles.
What founding editor Michael Guillén of EatDrinkFilms says about Dianne Boate:
"Dianne was my first hired columnist and it has been a complete pleasure to interact with her on all things concerning baking. Not only has she provided her monthly column on baking, but she has also accepted assignments on testing baking cookbooks. My basic philosophy about cookbooks is that--no matter how beautiful they are--they don't always work in my kitchen and so it became of interest to me that someone might test out a cookbook for our audience as to efficacy and ease, and as an alternative to simply doing a book excerpt. Dianne did this with the Josey Baker volume and I would recommend her for future baking publications, should she be willing. Publishers can send her a review copy of their publication, Dianne reviews it for what interests her, and then presents a working review to our EDF audience. Her last column for me will be the August 21 issue, which means her next scheduled piece would be the September 18 issue. Dianne, interact with Johnny before then to let him know what you plan to do." Michael Guillén
