CatsCube Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) I have just been reading the threads about having a cook book and I understand you have an online one, but no printed book has been arranges at the moment? I used to work in publishing and my partner is an Art Director for a graphic design agency. If people are interested we may be able to design and put to gether a recipe book made up of eglu owners own recipes. With the money made just covering cost of printing and the rest going to the BHWT. If we put the omlet name on it I would have to ask the omlet people if thats okay, and then people can submit me there recipes. How does that sound as an idea, would you be interested?

CatsCube Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Do you have his email, and I will email him with some questions to see if they would be happy with it and would stock it in the omlet shop as an easy way for people to purchase it.

Lesley Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Sounds like a good idea! Perhaps we should move this topic to the Nesting Box to gain maximum attention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatsCube Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Right I have sent round some emails so hope to hear some news soon. In the mean time I have added a poll to gauge how many people would be willing to purchase copies. It may be that due to me having to pay an initial print cost that it has to initially be done on a pre-order basis and then a print run done for that number, but I will have to see what I can do.

lisa33 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I would buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 I would be interested to know why those who would not be interested why they feel that way, in case its something that could be addressed, if they felt their was anything wrong with it, that it should include, should not include etc. If you dont want to make yourslef known on a public forum please feel free to PM me. Im very much open to ideas and suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I would buy several for gifts. I can't see how an online book would make anything for the BHWT. It would be a good advertising point for Omlet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'd buy one plus some for gifts. I'd like to see nutritional facts about eggs in there - people still believe the myth that eating eggs raises your cholesterol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 That sounds like my mum Snowy - she always ticks me off about eating more than 2 eggs a week. There was a fact bit about the nutritional value of eggs in the Mail yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovemychooks Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'd buy one ! Maybe Omlet & BHWT could split the profits between them ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see nutritional facts about eggs in there - people still believe the myth that eating eggs raises your cholesterol! Good idea, and maybe also some facts about storing eggs, how long to keep them for, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatsCube Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 All good ideas people! I was thinking about getting everyone to send in pictures too which can be added to illustrate throughout. Food photography is very tricky as its not a case of photographing the actaully food as lots of tricks are used to make it look more appetising, and not the sort fo thing just done at home on a camera. so perhaps people could send photos or their girls, their eglus, their family with chickens, like kids cuddling chickens, or early morning egg collections, egg dances, and even pictures drawn of chickens by your kids!
