“So, it was cool to be part of it.
“Seeing photos of people making and reading the recipes is so surreal!
“From ages 11 to 17, Meara and I would always do photoshoots for me – whether it was baking, cakes, flowers or people.
“So, I invited her to be my assistant. Thanks for letting me raid your closet and being my creative eye!
“We were both fasting that day and I remember it being arduous being surrounded by so much food all day, but worth it.
“And of course, thank you Neil for taking this on last minute, your amazing hard work, support, and putting up with my perfectionist tendencies.
“I hope I didn’t ruin your perception of me!”
