But man, has this been a LONG journey! Months and months have been spent in my office going over edits and edits and more edits. I've condensed two years of the blog into a 98 page cookbook and it wasn't without trials and a huge array of unexpected tribulations! Because I did it all myself - the recipes, the writing, the design, the layout, the illustration... even the eating ;-) I had to teach myself how to use InDesign after the designer I worked with fell through completely (here's the sad evidence). I also had to sift through close to 800 of my recipes to pick (and take down from the blog) my all-time best recipes PLUS create brand new recipes to feature exclusively in the cookbook! I then drew and drew and drew! Because all the illustrations in the cookbook (including those of my friends!) have been sketched by the hands of yours truly :-)
I went through a lot of drafts and drafts of the cover too until I arrived at one I liked. It's a photo of me taken by Paul Corkery last November. It's a funny pic, I know (in that I look like I have a farmer's tan and so on) but I think it encapsulates what the blog - and consequently the cookbook - is about!And now it's all finally done and getting sold and shipped by the hundreds as I write this :-D
So... yeah! If you want to order a copy and dig into some of my absolute best recipes (which you can't find on this blog on anywhere else), you can get one via amazon from here! The book is £17.99 by the way (so around $26 US dollars) and will ship worldwide so wooooo! Get your hands on a copy :-D
Note 1: I'll be doing a book-signing in Brighton, UK, on March the 17th if you want to stop by to get one of fifty copies (and enjoy a free protein bar from me!) Click on the pic to the left for more details.
Note 2: I'll be at BodyPower 2013 selling my cookbook too so if you plan on being there, stop by my Protein Pow Stand and get a signed copy!

Hello. I was about to order it but currently shows as "Currently unavailable" :(
ReplyDeleteOhhh that's actually good news!!!! Email if if you wanna pre-order it from me and I'll explain. I'll stock amazon in mid march :-D
DeleteHey Anna! Love your recipes; any chance you'll be putting out an ebook of your cookbook???
ReplyDeleteHi Taylor, maybe down the line? focusing on the paperback at the mo :-)
DeleteI was bummed I went to Amazon, and they say the book is out of print
ReplyDeleteThat's because you went to amazon.COM and you should have gone to amazon.CO.UK where it'll ship everywhere.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI am just about to order this book as a birthday present for a dear friend, as per other requests, would it be possible to sign it? If it can be signed and some wording such as:
To Mark,
Happy Birthday
That would be truly awesome but I know this is being really cheeky:-)
Thanking you in advance, Angie
I've gotten several requests from people who want to buy my cookbook as a present for someone else and want it signed. I can't currently sign the books sold on amazon.co.uk because they're handled directly by amazon.co.uk. BUT if someone has a burning request for a signed copy and can't get it directly from me (at, say, Body Power or any of my workshops), email me and I can sell you a copy and sign/dedicate it to the person you want it for ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna for clearing this up, it's much appreciated.
