Cookbook
It’s probably high time to spill the reason behind the “too busy to spend much time blog-hopping” thing of late: Joni and I were contacted by Fair Winds Press to write a cookbook together.
We (along with some amazing testers, which we might need more of eventually, but that’s for another post) are hard at work in order for the manuscript to be done by May 2009, and for the book to be tentatively released early in 2010.
These are definitely crazy & exciting times, and saying that we are grateful for the opportunity and for your support doesn’t even begin to cover it.
If you want to keep track of what’s to come, you can check out the group that was set up on flickr.
Woo!

Celine! Congratulations!! You know we have to buy at least two copies. Thanks for all of the inspiring stuff you post here, and for making the world better for vegans and people just trying to get healthier food inside of them. How cool.

That is fantastic, though not surprising. When you made that comment I was wondering to myself, but didn’t want to ask incase I was wrong as I would have been disapointed. You so deserve it. You have such a unique voice and such delicious, inspiring recipes. I have no doubt your cookbook will go on to be a huge success like Veganomicon and Dreena’s books.
I know you mention you will let us know in future post, but like Philippa and Sher I would LOVE to be a tester. That is if you don’t mind an Omni who has a soft spot for vegan yummies.
