The only cookbook in the world

with just one recipe !!

I am Linda A. Massey

And this is my first web site.

I have no idea what I’m doing.

But I have a book to sell and I thought a web site might help.

 

Here is my book.

One collectible, unique cookbook

that you will actually use !

Please buy it !

Just like this web site, I didn’t know what I was doing when I compiled my book, but I got it done, and here it is.

5 ingredients – no waiting

This is me

30 years ago

I want to thank all the friends, neighbors and acquaintances who were my involuntary taste-testers at pot-lucks and club meetings.  You know who you are.

You can buy my book online at Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Books A Million.

Buy my book.

You need my book.

Every time you eat a Linda’s Gooey Buttercake you will thank me.

Every time you share a Linda’s Gooey Buttercake you will thank me.

Every time one of your friends or relatives buys my book I will thank you

Every time you buy another copy to be a gift for someone I will thank you.

The holidays are coming up.

Some holiday is always coming up.

Don’t worry about your bathroom scale, you can walk more.

How is my web page doing so far ?

 

Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned the scale.

Is this too amateurish ?

It is basically a nine page WORD document.

This is a very easy cake to make.

This is a very delicious cake to eat.

 

If you like variety like I do, you will appreciate all the different versions of the cake you can make.

 

I think this will be a very collectable cookbook to own.

 

After all, how many cookbooks have just one recipe ?

 

Don’t look that up, I don’t want to know.

 

Is this what is called “The Hard Sell” ?

How can I sell a cookbook with just one recipe ??   I can’t very well give you a sample recipe if there is just one.

Maybe I could add a little history.

Until I looked it up I had no idea that Gooey Buttercakes were so popular throughout history.

Famous people loved to eat Gooey Buttercakes.

 

They were mentioned in movies.

 

They were mentioned in fairy tales.

 

They were mentioned in songs.

 

They are mentioned in history books.

 

Until now you just never noticed.

 

I know these quotes are true because I found them on the internet – and everything you find on the internet is true.

 

Please do not fact-check the previous statement.
