Family Cookbook — on the final stretch
Monday, February 13, 2006 14:48So, I haven’t posted for a while because I’ve been pretty busy compiling a cookbook of treasured family recipes.
It’s taken a lot longer than I thought it would, to test and photograph about 20 recipes from my sisters, my Mum, her brother (Uncle Ray) and a couple of my cousins.
The sensational recipes I have obtained will include:
Prawn Risotto, Beef Rendang, Crab Cakes, Relish, Chicken Soup, Fish Pie as well as salads and various cakes.
I’ll be posting in full detail soon, but here’s an idea of the cover page:
By MaxMillion (see more of her posts). Max Million is the nom de 'net of Pauline Adamek. Born in Sydney, Australia, Pauline has lived in Los Angeles for the past ten years and finds it agrees with her. She has been reviewing films and filing celebrity-based interview articles since 1991, and has filed stories from various international film festivals, including Cannes, Venice, Berlin, Toronto and Sundance. She is completing a family cookbook and also writes novels for 8-12 year olds.

Ya know Jonah — I’d def like to talk to you about all that at our next get-together. What I *don’t* know about self-publishing is a helluva lot…
But now I’m gonna invstigate Lulu and Cafe Press.
So, thanx heaps!

Well here’s another one for your consideration, blurb.com. It’s a new service and looks to cost a little more, but quality seems higher:

So Jonah, thanks for the inspiration — I think the book is now complete.
