The Pack Horse

“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.”

Jon Watts

Watts Cooking

“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.”

“Meze Publishing are passionate about food, books and people, making them such a straightforward and fun company to work with. Phil Turner, the director, believed in my concept right from the very beginning, which was just brilliant. Working with such a first-class, talented team, who offer you as much freedom and guidance as you need, made it all very enjoyable. I put my heart and my soul into my books, and they did too.”
