Jul 13th, 2008 by Lindsay
CONTEST:
Wow! It is still neck and neck between”Tacos del Verano” and “Raw-kin Zucchini Bean Summer Tacos“. I finally closed the poll at midnight on Saturday (7/12/08) and these were the final results:
| Tacos del Verano | (11) | |
| Almost Naked Summer Tacos | (4) | |
| 3 Sisters Tacos | (2) | |
| Native Taco | (0) | |
| Tacos Frescos | (5) | |
| “Raw-kin” Zucchini Bean Summer Tacos | (11) |
Looks like it’s still a tie! So I’ve decided to merge the names into:
“Raw-kin” Tacos del Verano
That means Magpie, Erin and Maria R. are the winners! THANK YOU to everyone who participated!!
COOKBOOK:
Speaking of polls, after a week of votes being cast, here are the results:
| Publish It! | (80) | |
| Self-Publish it asap | (105) | |
| Sell PDF versions | (47) |
I was hoping for a landslide victory, but it seems readers are quite divided! With the results being so close, it made my decision even harder to make! However, after a healthy amount pondering and with the suggestion of a reader, I was able to come up with a “compromise.”
I will be releasing a sneak preview mini-cookbook” of 15-20 recipes hand selected by my testers! I am still planning to publish a complete cookbook of over 100 healthy, fat free, whole foods vegan recipes but am happy to wet the whistles of my readers in the meantime. If this goes well, I may release another sneak preview in the fall. My goal is to have the actual cookbook on the shelves this winter.
My testers will be voting this week while I start chatting up local printing presses. A PDF version will also be for sale. I’ll have more updates in a week or two!
Wohoo! Can’t wait can’t wait for that MINI cookbook of yours!! I have ENOUGH of all those mean tortures!! Oh congrats of all the winners - I love that name!!
[...] forgot to mention, I won!!! I, along with Magpie and Erin, named The Happy Herbivore’s tacos. I feel extremely privileged. Not to mention [...]
I can’t wait for the preview!
