LRBG's UnCookBook news, Revamping Raw Recipe Nights

LRBG's UnCookBook news

I was officially finished with my UnCookBook and was determined to get some estimates regarding having it printed.  I went to Office Max, Staples, FedexKinkos, and tried a few places online.  According to my current needs, each book would cost around $15 to PRINT!  Oh no, that's way too much.  So, I talked to a few know-it-all's and couldn't get the price dropped much.  They suggested I find a way to pare down my color printing.  So I was chatting with my wonderful friend tonight who gave me a great idea.  What I was planning on doing was having a photo next to each recipe so you can see what it looks like.  Well, that's a LOT of pages in color.  Soooo...my friend's awesome idea was that I simply have a few pages in the middle of the book (or end, I'm thinking), of ALL the pictures with the page numbers for each recipe.  That way it's much cheaper for you and for me! So, this puts the book back a few days.  I'll be working on it a little tonight and tomorrow and I'm still hoping I can get it printed before September 1st. Kinkos said they could have them printed and bound next day...so I think I still have plenty of time! :)  So, it's coming, everyone!!! LOTS of recipes! VERY easy! Tips, Shortcuts, even a glossary!  Oooh, fancy-shmancy.

One woman I talked to asked me why I was writing a cookbook when there are a billion out there written by, well, you know.."real chefs".  HA!  I briefly explained what I do and her eyes about fell out of her head!  I gave her a card, and I whole-heartedly expect her to come to a class. ;)  I may not be a formally trained chef...but I love what I do and the Lord has given me the gift of teaching.  That's all that matters to me!  I'm not "Chef" Living Raw By Grace! Just a plain ol' gal who wants to share what she has learned!

Raw Recipe Nights Revamped

I love my Raw Recipe Nights. I love showing people how to make healthy food and add it to their lifestyles. I love that almost everyone comes with an open mind and soaks everything up like a sponge.  I love that most also implement what they learn and become healthier one step at a time.

I do not like losing money.  So the Raw Recipe Nights will be growing in a new direction.  First, I will only host two classes a month in which I will pick the topic and you can sign up and come. Okay, now the new direction is exciting.  If you have ever been to a tupperware party, a pampered chef party, a slumber party ;)....you have an idea of what I'm about to say.  I'm going to start offering Raw Recipe Parties.  Say you want to host a Raw Recipe Party......  You find 6+ friends and your admission is free, you get to pick the topic (ice cream, Mexican, Asian, Italian, dips, pies, cookies, etc.), AND you get to keep the leftovers.  You pick the day (within reason), and I will bring ALL the supplies, food, and information.  So easy. This way I'm not planning events on days that no one is available, or topics that few people are interested in. :) Please contact me if this sounds like something you would like to do!!

Another idea I'm throwing around is to cater small events.  Say you want to get together with a few of your friends. You all pitch in $10-$20 and get a four course Raw meal!  You can choose off a menu and it will come either prepared for you, or I will prepare it in front of you for an extra fee. Whatcha think?  Would anyone be interested?
