Remember when I stopped working on my second cookbook halfway through because it had become a sucking void into which all of my joy for cooking had gone? Remember how I promised that I would release the recipes which had been tested so far as a zine, as soon as I moved into my house and life calmed down a little bit?
Well, that time is now! The theme of the zine is Potlucks, which anyone who knows me can tell you is a theme near and dear to my heart. There will be about 50 recipes, divided in categories like Brunch, Pizza Party, Valentine’s Day Dinner Party, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Cookie Swap, to name a few. I will include a few pages about how to throw a successful potluck, as well has how to be an ideal potluck attendee. Of course, this zine isn’t just for those who attend (or aspire to attend) potlucks regularly. All of the recipes taste equally delicious eaten alone or with your family in the comfort of your own home.
I will be fervently working on compiling the zine in September and October so that it can be released in early November and into your hot hands in time for those Thanksgiving recipes, because I know that’s the time of year where everyone (especially new vegans) gets most anxious about cooking for others. I’ll fill you in on the details as I have them. Yay! I’m so happy to be excited about this project again.

That sounds AWESOME! I’m so happy you found a way to turn your old project into a new one!

hooray! I was hoping those recipes were going to be released sooner or later. Can’t wait!
Yay! I’ve been looking forward to more of your recipes! (YRR spice cake is in regular rotation at my house!)
Awesome! Great theme.
can not wait!!! YRR is one of my all time favorite cookbooks. I am so pumped to have more!!!
[...] It was a sad day when the author announced she wouldn’t be writing a second book, but I’ll certainly be getting a copy of her forthcoming cookzine. [...]
YAY! Sounds like fun.
BTW, I have to tell you, every time I make that soup from YRR that’s got the black eye peas, potatoes, dill, and nooch, my husband slurps it down & says, “This soup could win awards! This is the best soup I’ve ever had.”
We just love it! In fact, I’m nursing a bad cold right now & we’re having it tonight! MMMM!
This is wonderful news! Congrats and can’t wait.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the ‘zine. I have lost a couple of the recipes that I loved from testing. You rock so hard.
