Cooking
Have you ever wanted to be a recipe tester? You know, try out recipes and report back on how they turned out--what went wrong or what could be improved? I know I have. Well here's a great opportunity to do it.
Next year Collectors Press is publishing a book called The Good Home Cookbook: More than 1000 Classic American Recipes and in the meantime they are soliciting home cooks, professionals, and food writers to take part in testing recipes in their own kitchens. That means you! Not sure if you're up to it? You can get a sneak peek at what's required by looking at the recipe test form, available online.
What do you get in exchange for participating? Test one recipe and you will be listed as a contributor, test five or more recipes and you will get a free copy of the cookbook. Pretty cool, don't you think?
You can learn more about the book and how the testing is going by checking out the blog here. If you'd like to be a tester, send an email to [email protected] and you will be contacted shortly afterwards with details. This opportunity seems to be open to ALL prospective testers--including those not US-based.
Happy testing!

It is with a certain amount of shame that I must confess to you: this is only the first recipe from The Good Home Cookbook I've made! It's tragic, almost. After all, I was one of the happy housewife recipe-testers for the book (I think I eventually...
- Free Cookbook!
You may remember I was a recipe-tester for a cookbook some months ago. Well, The Good Home Cookbook is out, and it is fantastic. Everything you'd ever want to make, it's in there. Wonderful book, and I'm not just saying that because my name...
