| |  Last chance re: recipe book!!!
As you will all know I have been working on the recipe book for some time - and since then there have been some outstanding recipes posted by our members  So if you know of a recipe which you think needs to be added, can you please email me asap at info@bellybelly.com.au as I have started loading the recipes into the book format and hope to have these for sale within a couple of weeks.
Also any feedback as to which sections you most want to see, in order of preference:
Pregnancy Recipes
Baby / Toddler Recipes
Low Carb Recipes
Low GI Recipes
Gluten Free Recipes
Slow Cooker Recipes
Entrees
Mains
Desserts
Soups
Pastas
Vegetarian
Other
So if you could all please let me know asap so I can make sure it's as relevant as possible for you all If you could also please vote in the poll so I can see if you would be interested in buying one and at what price, as it's a huge book, and if people want to only spend a certain amount I will need to make the book smaller. It will be printed and bound by a printer and postage cost will be between $6-$9. So the price will determine the size of the book.

Oh also would be interested in knowing who would be interested in an eBook which would be cheaper, a file of all the recipes in book format which they can print off themselves.

I'd be interested in the Ebook option, because although I will buy the recipe book no matter what, I may not be able to buy it straight away if its over $20, as I have a lot of expensive uni texts I need to buy in the next month.

I'm cool with either an EBook or a "proper" book.........maybe both Kel? Then people can buy either depending on their budget/whether they want it for a pressie etc?
Not bothered on the order at all.......

I love that cover!
My order of preference would probably be along the lines of:

Low GI Recipes
Slow Cooker Recipes
Vegetarian
Pregnancy Recipes
Baby / Toddler Recipes
Gluten Free Recipes
Entrees
Mains
Desserts
Soups
Pastas
Other
Of course it all depends on what fits into the "other" category!

Pregnancy
toddler/baby food
Entrees
Mains
Desserts
Soups
Pastas
Vegetarian
Low Carb Recipes
Low GI Recipes
Gluten Free Recipes

I don't mind what recipes are in there - I love my food porn (ie recipe books). I have so many recipes in electronic version that I've not bothered to print out, as I've not had the time (I've got nearly 5,000 sitting in my yahoo account alone).

Love the front cover!!!

I voted $40 include postage for a big book. if you have a look at some of the big cookbooks in the shops $40 is very reasonable. I was looking at cookbooks just a few days ago and the Magerat Fulton one was $60 and the donna Hay was $45. That's not inculding postage.
I think the idea of an e-book option for those on a budget is great but I wouldn't get one because I wouldn't bother to print it out and I'm on a plan so i wouldn't want to exceed my download limit.
My order of preferance is
Entrees
Mains
Desserts
Soups
Pastas
Slow Cooker Recipes
Vegetarian
Pregnancy Recipes
Baby / Toddler Recipes
Low Carb Recipes
Low GI Recipes
Gluten Free Recipes
Other
I love the cover BTW.

I'm loving the way most people are putting desserts early in the book
My preference of order is...
Baby / Toddler Recipes
Pregnancy Recipes
Entrees
Soups
Pastas
Mains
Vegetarian
Desserts
Slow Cooker Recipes
Low Carb Recipes
Low GI Recipes
Gluten Free Recipes
Other (mocktails? cocktails? drinks?)
Although having stated my preference of order, that would be for the printed version (which I'd prolly buy). The e-book might be available as a series of PDF's so you could really order it yourself ... just have an "index" at the front of each section to make an overall index maybe?
