Andrea Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Should I consider doing a second cookbook? Here is a poll for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Can you do an expanded cookbook of the first one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melindasue37 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I absolutely loved the first one. I would say YES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted July 26, 2006 Author Share Posted July 26, 2006 The problem with an expansion is that it would only be good for those who have the original. A new version would be able to be given as gifts/sold to people who never had the first. The second version would have totally new recipes of course.

daggiesmom Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Well Andrea, if you decide to do another book, I'll definitely contribute some recipies this time. I don't know what I was thinking last time (in a fog, as usual!) I thought that these books would be a great donation to the Lung Cancer library that my Cancer Center runs. Around Christmas I plan on donating some, so I hope they'll be available then? Hope you're feeling ok and Mom is doing well, too!

luvmydog2 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Did not see a place to cast my vote but here it is...YES. I have shown mine to people and had to threaten force to keep them from confiscating it. I did re-order for them tho. I urge anyone who has not gotten one to order one or more.

kamataca Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I love the first one, and I'd love to be a part of the next one. The REAL question is, do you want to put yourself through all of that again?!? Didn't we make you crazy enough the first time? Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treebywater Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I would certainly love a second! But I'm with Kelly--do YOU want to do all that work again? Maybe you could delegate some man-power duties to a few of us (I'm volunteering. ), to take some of the brunt of it off of you this time around.

shirleyb Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I love the cook books. But as others have already asked, are you sure you are up to it? I know I would love to have some more of them. Thanks for asking and let me know if I can help in any way. Shirleyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginnyde Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Absolutely, YES, YES. My friends loved the first. Great presents, I wrapped them with a set of measuring spoons. Will gladly, type recipes again and proof them. Also, make sure to put in a page for people to send donations to LCSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks everyone for your comments!! Brian had the same concerns about time, etc b/c last time I was stressing out a bit. However I believe this time things will go much smoother b/c hindsight is 20/20 as they say. This time I KNOW what I am doing. Last time, I had no clue The first book did great, we laid out about $3,500 to publish it, quickly recouped it, and raised $3,000 profit for LCSC (I am rounding numbers) And should I get pregnant my dad agreed to help with all the packing and trips to post office, etc. I will definately be calling for volunteers once this gets underway. I am off to the post office now to mail a shipment and will set up a new pobox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Oh Andrea...I definitely say "YES" I loved the first cookbook and so did all of my family that got a copy. I am so sorry that I wasn't able to contribute more recipes for the first one. In anticipation for a second cookbook, I have been copying recipes from my mom and grandmothers recipe books and am ready to send them to you at the drop of a hat!!! I will also be more than willing to help type recipes and/or proof them. I think this is such a wonderful gesture on your part! But...only do this if you really feel up to it!

Ann Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Andrea...just a thought. In the Just For Fun Forum, we have posted a lot of household hints and tips from time to time. Maybe those could be put in the back of the cookbook? I know I always love to read those little tidbits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadstimeon Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 YES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleen Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I too vote yes. I would also contribute, but not sure exactly what. I have a few unique things that Keith loved (they were his secret recipies that he created) but not sure anyone but him would like them He had pretty unique tastes. On the other hand, I don't really have any original recipies. I could contribute my favorites, but they may have copyright infringement from other cookbooks. Unless we are talking about cocktails, then I have recipies. 9 years as a bartender in my youth I've come up with some tasty brews that drop you on your butt.
