Meals for Two Book Launch 03-14-15

Meal4Two Cookbook2-Magic-final

My cookbook designed with small batches of food for two people will be launching on March 14, 2015.  It is called Meals for Two:  Low Carb Cooking Magic and is the first of a series of Low Carb Cooking Magic books that I will be publishing.  It is available on Amazon.com and CreateSpace.

View my Booklaunch page here.

Some of the recipes have been featured on this blog but the recipes are scaled down to feed two or maybe four people so that you don’t have a bunch left in the ‘fridge or the freezer.  I have thrown away more leftovers than I care to think about.

There are many new recipes in the book that have not been, and will not be, posted here.  Every recipe in the book has a photograph, but the printed version of the book is in black and white.  Unfortunately, it was just too proportionately over-priced to print in color.  So, I am posting the photo pages here on Skinny Girl so that those who purchase the print copy can view them in full color.  That’s not all, if you purchase the book from Amazon, the purchase will include the Kindle version for free!

So please check out the listing at Amazon and I hope you’ll buy a copy, try the recipes and send me feedback!  I’d love to hear from you.

Book Project Underway

Posted September 2014 and moved here to allow the main page to be an index.

Very optimistically, I am starting a books page.  I have the beginning and a plan for a low carb cookbook to come out in 2015.  I am currently aiming for a Kindle e-book although there is a possiblity of a soft cover print.  Because I am including photos, the cost of printing may be high, so that remains to be seen.

But I am excited about putting out a book with my recipes for two people.  It will be called “Low Carb Meals for Two” and will include recipes scaled down for mostly two servings.  A few make small batches, but may leave leftovers.  Like those are a bad thing.

The header image is my announcement card for the book.  I’ve been spreading it around everywhere I go, so I am hoping to generate some interest in it.  For me, it’s a great way to share my recipes and happy experience with low carb living.  I say that it doesn’t have to be boring and I hope these recipes prove that you can still enjoy foods you love done the low carb way.

As of now I’ve selected all the recipes for the chapters and it’s about 105 recipes.  I still have some recipes to make and photograph, so that is progressing.  I have started the layout and I think this is going to be a fantastic project.

As I make progress on this, I’ll be adding more information here, so please check back for the status.

Cookbook Launch Planned

As I mentioned previously, I am putting out a cookbook!  I have some recipes that have not appeared on this blog as well as a few that have, but they are all adapted for small batches or for two servings.  If you’re like me, there’s only two low carb eaters in the household and we don’t want a lot of leftover food in the ‘fridge.  It tends to get shoved to the back and go bad before we see again and that’s not just wasteful, it’s also icky.  So this book aims to make it easier to cook for one or two people.

I almost have the cover design done so that will be going up in early March for a preview.  I am currently targeting March 14 as the launch date and I will keep you updated on the progress and if that changes.  I am busily reviewing the recipes to make sure I haven’t missed anything or put in any wrong measurements.  It’s amazing how much work actually goes into writing a cookbook, testing the recipes, and photographing them.  But it has been a lot of fun and I love tasting all of these.  They are all on the high taste-o-meter scale, so I hope you will love them as well and will want to pick up a copy for your tablet or possibly book shelf.  Still not sure about actually having a hard copy available.

Once again, the planned launch date is March 14th, barring any technical problems with the file.  I haven’t tried converting the text and photos to Kindle yet, so that could prove to be a delay if it doesn’t go smoothly.  Either way, the news will be here and on my Facebook page.
