“Publishing my first cookbook was a daunting prospect initially, but Meze provided the tools and support to make it as easy as possible at every step of the process. All the people involved are passionate about making quality books that fit the vision of the author, so each step from design to editorial has been both professional and open-ended, allowing room for creativity and ideas to be tested and brought to life on the page.”

“I thought publishing a cook book would be super complicated, but Meze made it really simple and straight forward, guiding me through each step. The process was smooth without any hiccups. When I finally saw the finished book I was really impressed with how quality the book was, from the photos, to the design and even the quality of printing.”
