Mudcat Cookbook - now taking pre-orders

It's done!

Yep, that's right. The Mudcat Cookbook, Whiskey Before Breakfast (And Other Meals from the Mudcat Café) will be going to press any day now. I'm still making a final choice of printer, but cookbooks will begin shipping in approximately 3 weeks.

Whiskey Before Breakfast includes 140 pages of recipes from some of the Mudcat's finest cooks, a reference section with measurement conversions and more, and tunes to play while waiting for your meal to cook. The book is coil-bound, making it easy to lay flat for cooking, and sports a glossy, beer-resistant cover for those of you who are messy cooks. A preview of the book will be going online soon.

All profits will go to the Mudcat Café. A limited number of these are being printed, so place your pre-order now and be the first on your block to own it! Whiskey Before Breakfast is only $15.00 (US), including shipping within the United States. (Shipping overseas will incur additional charges; just email or PM me for actual charges.)

You may pay via Paypal to: nicolecastle @ attbi.com (with no spaces in the address)
Or help raise even more money for the Mudcat and avoid the Paypal fees by mailing a check or money order – just email or PM me for details!

If you'd like to make an additional donation to the Mudcat Café, you can make the donation at the same time and I will pass the extra funds on.

Are there vegetarian recipes in it? Sorry, I haven't been following the thread.

Thanks, btw, it sounds grand!

The most important part about cooking vegetarian?

What you marinade them in...

I like to marinade the vegetarians -I- cook, in steak sauce...

I assume you eat them raw like sushi, then?

Yes, kat, there are quite a few vegetarian recipes in it, mostly salads and soups.

Bourbon balls? Are you talking meatballs or chocolate truffles, Sinsull? Either way, it sounds like a recipe I'd love to have.

Nicole, I'll PM you my order.

Cheers,

Okay, I admit it... I don't know the extra cost to ship overseas yet. But it won't be much -- it's got a plastic coil for binding, not hard cover, and those overseas only have to pay the difference, not the entire shipping cost. At most another $2 US. Meanwhile, send me a PM and I'll reserve a copy for you until I have hard numbers.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch... samples of pages chosen at random here and more here. And here's the whole recipe index!

That looks terrific, Nicole! Thanks, very much, for putting this together. I'd forgotten I posted the one recipe! I'll PM you for an addy as I would like one and I am sure my sister will, too.

Thanks, again, wonderful job!

I guess that the book exists in electronic form?
If so, which?
Word, HTML, txt, pdf, ...?

What about this:
I pay and give my email address and get the electronic form?
Would save the shipping costs (in my case: to Germany)...

It would also save some trees - as I would only print those recipes I like... ;-)

Thanks for the orders that are coming in. I hope to make a final decision for the printer this weekend. Despite some early concerns about generating a viable profit (i.e. donation to Mudcat) from such a small order, I have a couple of printers who are in a comfortable price zone and will provide the services necessary (like final proofs) that will make me comfortable sending away the money.

So I've come to a decision -- there's no reason to penalize international users of Mudcat by charging them more shipping. $15 covers the cost of the book AND shipping anywhere via global economy mail. Since this method is so slow (up to 4-6 weeks), I will provide international users with a hyperlink that they can use to view the cookbook while they are waiting for it to show up.

For those international users who don't want to wait, I can ship via Airmail (about 4-7 days) for an extra $10.00.

My sister hasn't called in from her destination, yet, but she's been on the road for a week, with small stopovers on the way, so I expect to hear from her any day, now. Will get a check out, from one of us, as soon as I do.

Hi, I've been out of town for most of the last two weeks. Want to get at least 2, probably 3. Will PM you for address to send check. Will you be doing another run? Guess you should count on me for 3, even though cash flow's a bit iffy right now, in case it isn't reprinted...

From: NicoleC

Just a recap:

Cost is $15 each, and that includes shipping, here or overseas. International orders will go out Economy, though, which officially takes 4-6 weeks but in reality seems to take 4 days - 6 months. I can send it Priority International for an extra $10 each.

You can send the check or money order to me, by PM'ing me for the address.

Paypal can go to: nicolecastle @ attbi.com

I can modify the amount right up to the day I approve the proof, which I'm hoping to get Monday. So if you order before then, I can guarentee a copy by just adding extras to the order.

Hi, Nicole - Hereby I confirm my previous order of 1.
Please PM me your postal address where to send the bills to.
(Postal orders or bank checks are so expensive in Germany that I should pay the treble price!)

Hi Nicole-
If you want to, CAMSCO can provide additional distribution (no charge). I can take Master, VISA and Discover cards, which is convenient for many.
Let me know via PM.

Well, still haven't talked to my sister, but my other sisters got a postcard saying they were going camping up north somewhere along with salmon fishing, so...I'll re-confirm my order of one for myself and if I hear from her before you set the final number, I'll holler if she says yes.:-)

Nicole, although I'm not an international buyer, I'd like only the digital version (i.e., hyperlink or file). I'll PayPal my payment, but you can sell the hard copy to someone else, I really don't need it.

Thanks.

Yay! I got the proof today and it's beautiful. I'm going to make a couple of minor changes tonight or tomorrow, then the order will be placed and I get to wait for the *whole thing*!

I anticipate shipping by the end of July.
