I wrote a cookbook

[@HollyTheCafeBoat]

Thanks so much for watching! If you would like to pre order the cookbook you can do so here: www.hollythecafeboat.com/shop We ship worldwide and all pre-orders will be ready to ship at the beginning of June. PS. Postage is a bit expensive to the US and beyond which unfortunately we can’t do much about. We are hoping to produce a digital version of the cookbook at some point so if the pricey postage puts you off, hang around for that announcement!

[@ronaldpowell4319]

Joe why don't you do the cakes to order as well and post them and post them cake by post people will pay the money people will pay the money for the cake and the postage

[@brianjrichman]

I'm from outside the UK and while I'm OK with paying the shipping (it's a gift for my wife), I paid with Paypal and Paypal did the currency conversion. Is that what you expected?

[@irisenberg4645]

So excited…got my preorder in ❤

[@budgetcookinguk]

Have ordered and am beyond excited Jo. Have watched your family journey for a long while now and cannot wait to try out the cookbook. I bake in my airfryers (youtoob channel of same name with cost breakdown) so will try out your recipes all credit to you on the channel once I've got your fabulous book💕💕

Can’t think of a nicer more deserving couple than Vic and Jo. They’re just so likeable. 🥰 love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

When you finish the cookbook you should consider writing a children's book. The chronicles of William.

Cooking with Prince William!

[@sallyhodgkinson4920]

That would be amazing. I can imagine a book with illustrated pic like the Shirley Hughes books. You could do one of what Williams sees and hears on the canals. Pointing and feeding the ducks. Seeing the lambs. You could do a sound book of Dad starts the engine . And you press the button to hear the sound. You could explain the locks and record the noises. You could do this is the noise when dad is working on his laptop. Tap tap on the keys. Additional needs children would love it . senory books are so good plus u.k. canals are unique with history and culture. Go for it! You guys are amazing I'm in australia loving your videos. Jo font feel guilty bout not being with William it's a tough age. You got this 🎉. I hope i can buy your book in oz.

Well done. What an accomplishment! I’m watching from the Smoky Mountains in western North Carolina and just pre-ordered the book. The shipping was more than the price of the book, but I want to continue to support the life you are working so hard to create for your family.

I'm retired and live in Alberta, Canada. I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed every episode of "Holly - The Cafe Boat" so far. You and Vic are wonderful people and parents and little Billy is the cherry on top. I would have loved to pre-order your cookbook but with shipping and currency conversion it would be almost CA$70.00. I will still be an avid follower of course because your content is very engaging and entertaining. Thank you!

[@FlyFree2023]

Why would anyone not pre-order this book given you watch their narrowboat family life and the adventure's they bring through KZbin for free. If you have never baked a cake (like me) surely 2023 is a good year to try with such expert help on a printed page. Well done Jo, not forgetting Vic and William's support. 👍

Just pre ordered your cookbook. We get so much enjoyment watching your videos and wishing we could stop by Holly for a cup of coffee and lemon drizzle cake that I had to order the book. We would stop by but it's a long ways from California to the canals in England. Maybe next spring 2024 when we'll be traveling portions of England and Wales, one never knows. Take care... Thanks for all the enjoyment.

A massive achievement Jo, all with the support of Vic and insipration of young Bill. I wish you every success with book sales.

We really don't know what it is about you guys we are addicted to watching your videos we even started watching them again from way back when you first started doing up Holly right up yo the present day I love to watch Jo cook as I love to cook too and have made many lemon drizzles but she makes it look so simple as I tend to make a terrible mess lol please carry on entertaining us we could watch little William all evening he's so cute, looking forward to your new book release 👍👍 xx

Preordered the book! You’ll have your cakes being baked in Florida! So excited and proud of you!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

A long time ago , I like I'm sure many other people said, I think you should write a cookbook. I'm so glad you did, and I can tell there's as much love and passion gone into it, as there is with your cakes. Well done Jo! 🎉🎉

Your comment young man “ when you look like us” something like that if I remember should get your ears boxed as your a very good looking family especially the wee man he is growing so quick! Over the course of your holiday he just seemed to go from a cute baby to an adorable little boy x

Just thinking about what a treasure your library of vlogs will be for William. Imagine him describing his magical childhood to his grandchildren, the sheer variety of experiences you gave him, with video evidence of your love for him. I have exactly ONE video , on VHS, of my beloved dad. Am becoming quite addicted to you guys.
