Posted project update #5The cookbook is at the printer!
Thank you all, so very much, for helping to get this project off the ground. We are hoping to have books in hand by the second week of December, and a book release party is in the works.
Stay tuned for detailed information on that, and more than you ever wanted to know about how, when, and where you can procure your very own copy. But, in the meantime THANK YOU VERY MUCH. This would not have been possible without your generous support.
Martha

Posted project update #4Down to the wire!
Post CommentOK, so the book is looking HOT.
But our bank account is not.
Happily, we did hit our Kickstarter goal at some point last week. Hooray! And a big, early, wet and sloppy thank you to everyone who helped get us to that $3,000 goal.
But it turns out that in order to do this up right we're going to need a bit more than 3 grand. A big bit. So, I am channelling my inner pledge drive host and sending out one last shameless plea to remind the wafflers, procrastinators, and just generally forgetful out there that you have just FIVE DAYS LEFT to get your pledge in and secure your place in soup history.
Operators are standing by.
And here, to stimulate your imagination, is another beautiful layout. Check out those sexy sausages!
Yours, in soup and bread,
Martha

Posted project update #3A nice day for chicken noodle soup
Post CommentI had a stupid accident yesterday that left me with a big bump on the head, a bum arm, and a prescription for some strong painkillers. But even the meds can't soothe the pain I felt this morning when I opened up the revised quote from the printer. Yikes!
Let's just say it's a lot more than $3,000.
To back up ... the cookbook is progressing nicely. Paul's almost done with the illos and Sheila is busily plugging recipes into her beautiful design scheme. But some things have changed since September: the page count is up to 130 (or 65 "leaves"), we've decided to go with two colors on every page (because damn, it looks pretty), and we're considering bumping the print run up to 1,500 to meet what appears (at least anecdotally) to be higher than expected demand.
We're going to have to reassess some of this, but in the meantime ....we are SO CLOSE to meeting our $3,000 goal. If you have a sec, please consider urging a soup-minded friend to get in on the cookbook action. If just 26 people pledge $20 apiece we are IN.
For inspiration, I provide this screen shot of the spread for Chicken Noodle Soup.
It's rainy and grey and the drugs are wearing off. I think it may be time to go defrost some stock.

Posted project update #2Preliminary cover
Hey, check out this cover design Sheila just whipped up!
Not final, for several reasons ... but should give you a good idea of where we're going with this.

I'm a writer and editor whose work orbits (very) loosely around food, drink, urban agriculture, sustainable food systems, and creative approaches to community building and social justice concerns. I am also a bartender at the Hideout, and have an iPhoto library full of beauty shots of soup.
Congratulations!
