About this project
For years, I have been collecting, refining and re-writing my favorite recipes -- enjoying every meal and every minute with my friends. These are people who have dined with me, laughed and cried with me, followed my work as a food writer and watched my cooking segments on TV -- these are my best friends -- who along with their favorite recipes, will be the focus of my debut cookbook: Food With My Friends.
With the help of a fine arts photographer, a skilled editor and a talented food stylist, I set out on a mission to publish the recipes and stories that have defined years of casual, fun, everyday entertaining.
I recently lost my job due to budget cuts. The ability to self-publish the book is no longer an option. It is with a heavy heart that I realize the book maybe "shelved" while I adjust to life without steady income.
But, as many of you know, I never give up without a fight. I've made calls, re-negotiated deals and researched all options. At this time, the book may still continue as planned --- if it's done with the help of my friends.
I am kickstarting this campaign to alleviate initial printing costs. By pre-ordering your copy, you can help me reduce the costs associated with the first run. The goal of this campaign is to raise an initial $5,000 to kickstart the first edition of my book, Food With My Friends.
With your help and your support, completion of this book by December, 2011 won't be a lofty goal but a reality. Will you help?
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your consideration and generosity.
