Oh shoot! (A cookbook update)

Photographer Lisa Weatherbee and Yours Truly.
Back in December I promised to keep you in the loop as the cookbook comes along. I mean after all, without your interest in Gluten Free on a Shoestring there would be no book, and I’d probably be asking myself, “if you write an online recipe site and nobody reads it, is it still a blog?”
So here’s where things are at this point. I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen and on the laptop for about 5 months now. My goal is to put together a collection of recipes that I think you’ll really enjoy and can use on a regular basis.
Because when you go gluten-free, the toughest part is duplicating the everyday things like breads, baked goods and comfort foods without spending a fortune.

Asst. Photographer “Friday” made sure the floor stayed clean of unwanted crumbs.
As is the case with most things, there’s a pretty long lead time. The manuscript is due this spring (yikes!) and the book is scheduled to hit the shelves in early 2011.
Based on that schedule, we needed to start taking photos of some of the recipes. We just completed the first part of the photo shoot last weekend

READY, SET…

SHOOT!
SHOOT!
We want the recipes to look great, but also feel accessible. There’s no point in making a gluten-free cookbook with complicated recipes that you’ll never make. We’ll leave that to the fancy-schmancy chefs.
I hope you enjoy these behind-the-scenes photos of day one of the photo shoot.
- Tapestries = nice backgrounds.
- And just what might this be?
- Make dough. Form. Bake. Photograph. Upload.
Part two of the photo shoot is scheduled to take place in a couple of weeks. Until then, you’ll find me in front of the computer and as always, with my head in the oven.
Warmly,
Nicole

Nik,
So proud of you! Loving the “action” shots. It’s hard to believe the manu is due this spring but so exciting! Your fans anxiously await…keep us posted.

I just discovered your website and it’s bound to become a favorite. It’s like your recipes were created for my family in mind. Cheap is good! I’m looking forward to your cookbook coming out. If it’s anything like your blog it’ll be an instant hit. Best of luck.

Hi, Amy,
Thank you for the kind words. The manuscript is due at the end of April, so I’m currently procrastinating writing it by posting on here. I have to cram a lot of work in between now and then, but at least I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! You guys are a wonderful inspiration, though. Thank you!
Warmly,
Nicole

This is the blog I needed to find today! Yay! I have an online radio show, “Carla’s Cooking”. It has turned into quite a healthy, gluten free, raw, etc. radio show. I have interviewed a doctor who specializes in gluten free intolerance, chefs, a gluten free researcher, etc.
After running into someone who was having trouble with the price of gluten free foods I thought it was best to do a show soon on budget gluten free cooking. Please let’s talk. Email me! And definitely keep me posted on the cookbook!
Best,
Carla
