I'm very excited to announce that Farm Girl Country Cooking: Hearty Meals for the Active Family (WiDo Publishing, June 2013) is now live on the Kindle!
And at the Friends & Family pre-release price of $1.99! If you enjoyed my recipes from A to Z in April, they're all included along with many more, here. (Print release will be June 18.)
Seriously, it was as difficult and time-consuming to write a cookbook as it ever was to write a novel, only in a different way. Revising involved testing recipes and tasting. Lots and lots of tasting. I gained 8 lbs LOL. (I can laugh about it now because I've since lost it. Ha!)
But it was fun, loads of fun and if it does well, I already have another one planned....
Enjoy!
Although preparing regular family meals can be difficult, it is worth
every effort. Dinner provides an opportunity to gather and refresh while
spending time together around the table enjoying a meal.
The author
has collected and tested the book's 100 recipes of main dishes, sides
and desserts from years of experience cooking for a large family.
Whether you are feeding a family on a budget or need ideas on menu
planning, this cookbook is the perfect companion for the busy, working
cook.
Hearty home-cooking using basic ingredients, plenty of
fresh vegetables (and don't forget the bacon) you will return to these
recipes again and again when planning dinners for your family or
entertaining for company.
woo-hoo!... i have no kindle...
ReplyDeletei look forward to the book.
Congratulations! I think writing a cook book would be great fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a GREAT idea! I just got a Kindle (finally!) so I'll grab a copy. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, Karen,
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS... ALL THE BEST! I certainly saved some of your baking recipes from the A-Z... and now I can have more!
YAY!!!!!!
Many congratulations, Karen! Bravo on your cookbook. I totally agree about dinner time being important to families in this rush-rush society. Dinner time is the only time my family can gather together and listen to each other and actually talk together--no cell phones, no television, no computers. It is a very important time for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the book. Again, congratulations!
I love the cookbooks I've bought via Kindle, most of them small, self-published items with really nice recipes.
ReplyDeleteWow, creating a cookbook surely must've been a lot of work. All that cooking. All the picture taking. All the clean up. All the tasting/eating, and then losing the weight afterwards, which is often very difficult. Writing a cookbook is something I will never be interested in doing!
I'll buy a copy!
Exciting stuff and go you.
ReplyDeleteDELICIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the recipes that you posted in the challenge. Good luck with the book.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I can understand this must have been quite and undertaking. And I wish you all the best.

Congratulations. I'd never considered the amount of effort that's put into a cookery book. Well done for losing that extra weight :-)
ReplyDeleteYay, Karen! I'm waiting for my print copy, which I will pre-order NOW.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely getting your cookbook. I can't decide whether to get it at the great Kindle price or wait for the print.
ReplyDeleteWhat a talented person you are!
ReplyDeleteAll the best with the cookbook :)
congratulations. I just got a kindle. I am going to go check this out!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Karen! I can imagine a cookbook is just as time consuming as a novel--but much tastier to work on;).
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Karen! I'm going to get it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the book. My friend Glynis Smy, sent me your way, and I love your blog.

Congrats!! The cookbook looks amazing. =)
ReplyDeleteVery cool, congratulations! A friend of mine who is a somewhat prolific writer is doing her first cookbook, and I think she'd agree with you on all points.
