Testers Required

I'm on the last run as it were. The book has been edited by my fantastic editor Jamie Ambrose and now I have to finish correcting and editing myself! It's a really hard job. My recipes have come back to me with the equivalent of RED biro across each one. Some more some less .. with comments. Oven temperature ? Explain more! Describe this. and so on. I won't bore you with any more details .. suffice to say it's tedious. Very tedious.

Now I've complained enough. The process is so necessary and even the simplest recipe needs a run through. Can you imagine if a recipe has an ingredient forgotten, or a poor instruction. It doesn't bear thinking about. There are a few more recipes that need testing and the deadline is looming, so I am asking you for help. If you have a FOOD BLOG and are willing to test and blog about one of the recipes below please email me.

You will get to join the testing team. I can link back to your Blog and I will thank you personally at the book launch on 2nd June, and give you a book as a thank you .. PLUS you will meet all the other Bloggers and Tweeters ..and thejournalists it will be fun!

  2. Oh no, I'm far too late. What a shame. Please let me know if you want anyone else to test the recipes for you.

If you are reading my blog I must warn you that I am not impartial. I want to influence you. I want to make you stop for just a moment and consider the effect of a lifetime of seemingly insignificant decisions and how making small delicious choices can change the world.

I believe that we can change the world one bite at a time.

It's a delicious revolution.
