Well, some of you have been asking for details about the new book and dvd, so here is an update on what I have to share now:Eat, Drink, and Be Vegan!
Will be published fall 2007, which typically means late October/early November.
There will definitely be food photos in the book, which I'm stoked about! Yay!!! We do the cover photo shoot sometime in January, and then the food photos sometime in Feb/March. It's all fast approaching!
Cooking DVD:
Scheduled for release February 2007. I should be able to share the name of the dvd soon. As you know, it co-stars Julie Hasson and Bryanna Clark Grogan, with each of us contributing 5-7 recipes.
What's with the apron pic? Well, just before I left for Portland, one of my very, very dear friends gave me this adorable apron for my birthday. Isn't it the cutest thing? I wore it in one of my recipe demos on the dvd and then when I used it the other day I remembered I had to post about it! Can you read the writing at the top? It says:
Why, thank you! Nothing like getting a compliment from your apparel. Hey, I'll take them wherever I can get 'em! Wait - you say it's the food the apron is talking about??? Please, don't ruin the happy moment.
With the release of the new book (and dvd), I will ask for a little help from anyone willing. My amazon profile needs a boost! If any of you would be happy to add a review to either/both of my books, I would really appreciate it. More reviews (and current reviews) will encourage sales, which will help sales projections for the next book, which will affect the print run size and ultimately distribution and how 'out there' my next book will be! I have heard from so many of you here and through e-mail that are enjoying my books and recipes, and I thank you. I normally don't ask you to add those words to a review, but this time I will swallow my pride. ((gulp))
Now, to a couple of food updates:
Last Mmmmm post, you must try these fries with a little bowl of tamari for dipping. I'm serious, guys. Go buy these. Bake 'em up, serve with a bowl of tamari, and just dip in the edge. OMG! Why haven't you bought them yet? Even if you're not that big on sweet potatoes, I still want you to try these! (and no, I didn't get anything from the company, other than the enjoyment of these fries)! Oh, and they e-mailed back about the Hanna Gold variety. That line is discontinued due to supply of the potatoes, so this pic is the variety you should see in your stores - and buy! :)
Remember this post? 
Well, I have received some coupons from Soy Delicious. They were very responsive to my e-mail about the funky pints I had bought. I asked if they would send some extra coupons that I could share with you guys, and so I will figure out how to do so in my next post. Hmmm, let's see, I'll have to go eat some Turtle Trails to think about that one...
