That’s my excited face.
Oh sh*t. I can’t even hold it in. Word vomit is about to happen. I’M WRITING MY FIRST COOKBOOK!!
I’m literally tearing up just thinking about this. I’ve wanted this for so long and have gone back and forth about how I would accomplish this goal. But once I was approached by Scribe Publishing, I knew it was the right fit. Not only is the Publisher a CrossFitter as well, but she’s a paleo-er who gets my sense of humor and isn’t afraid of what I have to say. She’s so awesome.
I hadn’t thought about a writing a cookbook since my recipes are free over the internet, until readers began to ask for one. Which was very cool. It’s amazing people would actually want to purchase something when they can get it all free online. So really, I’m writing this cookbook for all of you who have supported me and wanted to show that support by purchasing a cookbook. So this cookbook will feature my favorite PaleOMG recipes along with many new recipes you won’t be able to find on the blog. Already have some good stuff for you!!
So what I want to know is, what are YOU looking for in a paleo cookbook? What is helpful to you and what would make your life easier in a paleo cookbook? Please leave your comments below and give your ideas because I’m making this cookbook for YOU all!
ANNNNNNND, omg, yes there is more. I’m now in the first steps of creating a PaleOMG app. Let’s be real here, obviously I am not the person doing it, I know nothing about anything…except sweets, but my good friend Peter who also put my website together for me, is doing the job. He’s amazing and spectacular so I’m trusting him to create something wonderful. BUT I want and need to know what you are looking for in a paleo app. I don’t do apps, I don’t really get them. I downloaded a food porn app once, but I’ve only looked at it once when I was too hungover to get out of bed. True story. So I need to know what people who actually use apps would like to see in a PaleOMG app?
Are you mad because there isn’t a recipe? Don’t you worry, there will be plenty all week!
I’m so excited. My daughter, who is 5, and I love your website. She likes to watch your cooking video’s and I love to copy down your recipes. I love that you have short ingredients lists. So many paleo cookbooks have huge lists of ingredients and I am always trying to see what I can exclude with out sacrificing flavor. I have three kids so the less ingredients the more meals I can cook. I personally love cookbooks that are organized by what’s in season. Since it seems with paleo we are kind of supposed to eat what’s local and seasonal I could never figure out why no paleo book is organized that way. Clean Food by Terry Walters is organized by season and even though it is totally not paleo I like how it is organized and makes perfect sense. I think your book is going to be awesome no matter what just keep yourself in the book and it will sell like mad;)
Book and app are both great ideas. And I would use them both. I love to see pictures of the finished products and nutrition facts.
A section on how to change over from “regular” cooking to Paleo would be most helpful! And as mentioned above…PICTURES! I like to see what a recipe is supposed to look like. Makes it much easier when cooking something new. So excited for your cookbook!
I didn’t think i would ever buy a cookbook again (you know, because of the internet). But I am excited about yours and look forward to all the delicious recipes organized in one place.
saving my pennies, starting now.
thanks.
I wholeheartedly agree with what many reviewers have said:
PLEASE HAVE 80% OF THE RECIPES BE *SIMPLE* ones suitable for a weeknight dinner meal.
I have many other Paleo/Primal cookbooks, and they are great to ooh and ahh over, but I haven’t tried most of them because they are WAY too involved.
I love your recipes because they are REALISTIC!! KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID! (and tasty)
And of course, I expect to see your usual self-deprecating humor in there as well.
You f*cking rock.
Congratulations! That’s super exciting!!! I’m new to Paleo and I LOVE your recipes. I would FOR SURE buy your cookbooks! I was actually wondering why you didn’t have any cookbooks/apps already 🙂 YAY!
I’ll purchase one, when it comes around 🙂 congrats! Ive shed two pounds (not from my chest thank god) so far from living the paleo lifestyle 🙂
Congrats! Make sure that we who have gone primal in Sweden also can get one ex!
I am so glad to see that you are putting out a cookbook. Your recipes are awesome! I second the idea of color pics of the recipes, but also things that quickly put together. Mom of four under the age of 5 but am full on paleo for the entire family. So some meals gotta be fast. I am super excited to see the finished book. I think you are gonna rock it !!!!
AMAZING! I’d love a cookbook, I agree with many comments above; your quirky, funny personality and your PASSION for what you do, keeps me coming back multiple times a day for recipes and ideas. As far as the App, being able to add a shopping list is a big Plus! Android please. 🙂 Congratulations, Juli!! Well deserved!
