Chocolate-Covered Katie: The Cookbook

I will be watching to be a tester. 🙂

I can not wait for this to come out, will definitely be on my 2014 Christmas List!

I would love to be a tester, assuming it means trying to make desserts based on the recipes and reporting back. As much as I would really LOVE to just kick back and taste test things you make, an international trip may be a bit pricey for a dessert 🙂 As for recipe ideas … tiramisu, sticky toffee pudding (please please please!!), Chinese taro and red bean paste goodies, and more copycat chocolate bars would be great. I was also wondering if you would be able to give alternative ingredients/methods to at least some of your recipes for those of us who can’t have peanuts and tree nuts. Thank you!

I would love to help you by being a tester! I love to cook and there are many of your recipes that I am just waiting to find the time to try…like the copycat vitatops. have all the stuff just need the time!

I would love to be a tester too, I love all your recipes! 🙂 Can’t wait for this cookbook. I love that you do vegan and use Nunaturals, my two favorite combos 🙂 Oh, plus chocolate. Three favorite combos.

Omg I can’t wait! 😀 I remember you mentioned of including a NY style cheesecake recipe in your Greek yogurt cheesecake post, so I can’t wait to buy it and start baking 😀

Meringue. I’d love to make a healthy version of meringue so you can make a pavlova style dish or individual meringues. I’ve tried but not had any success.

Umm… PLEASE tell me you are going to give us the recipe for the picture above… cause if not, I am going to make one up for it on my own!! Looks SOOO GOOD!!

Oh my goodness, I’m SO excited!! I am DEFINITELY going to buy your book, Katie!

OMG I would simply be so so so honored to be a tester!!! I have followed your blog forever and it would mean more than the world! Your blog pretty much changed my life and made me realize that you can really enjoy food! 🙂 I am sooo ordering it and I have been waiting for this forever! 😛

Is this real life??? Your blog is my absolute favorite + I love cookbooks = day made!! Thanks for putting so much work into making desserts healthy and delicious 🙂 If I could eat them all, I would.

Hooray! Fall 2014 can’t come soon enough 🙂 I’d love to review the book when the time comes!

This is more breakfast-y than dessert-y, but cinnamon rolls!! My ultimate weakness 🙂

Did someone say TESTER?!?! Would love to be one! 😉

Yay!!! I am so excited!!! Would you be able to make some kind of guiltfree maple cookie? The dare maple creme cookies are my favorite!!

I would love it if you could include nutrition information with each recipe!

I can’t wait! I bet the photos will be lovely. Might you also release Nook and Kindle versions?

Being a tester sounds fun.

I’m so exited! I can’t wait to see it! Seeing your cookbook will be like discovering your blog all over again, what fun!

I second cinnamon rolls and would also love to see a healthy (and GF? 😉 version of Toaster Streudels! And birthday cakes with different frostings! Ooh, how about Fig Newtons? Those seem like they SHOULD be healthy anyway! So excited about the cookbook; I will definitely be buying it!!

Hi Katie,
You have some of the most creative recipes: brownies and blondies made from beans and chocolate cake made with cauliflower. I’m allergic to chocolate, so do you think you could write some carob recipes, or at least mention how to substitute it? I love anise and fennel seeds as flavorings. Have you ever used them in recipes? Finally, have you ever tried making desserts with vegetables? I’ve seen a dairy recipe for cauliflower cheesecake on the web. Imagine a vegan version flavored with anise or fennel . . . If anyone can cook it up and make it taste great, you can, which is why I’m passing on the idea to you. I can’t wait to get your cookbook when it comes out.

Fantastic news! I am sure it will be a hit. One recommendation that I would make is to make the recipes serve more. Your posted recipes are great for one or two people. Most recipes need to feed 8+ in my opinion. I am often tripling or quadrupling your recipes for my family. We have loved every one of them!

YOU NEED TO HAVE IT AT BARNES N NOBLE SO I CAN USE MY GIFT CARD FOR IT. I’ve been saving it for like a year!!

also, need any testers?

Hey, not that you asked, but — I hope you have a lawyer to look over any book contracts, to make sure that you end up with all the rights that you should, so that someone else doesn’t end up making all the money off this book at your expense. You don’t want to inadvertently sign away something important and then later on find that you regret it but are legally bound by what you signed.

How about healthy, vegan croissants? Or breakfast pastries? Would love to see healthy, dairy free versions of those. If its even possible, I have faith that you would be the one who could do it!

I’m so excited and will be pre-ordering as soon as it comes available!! If you want a product tester/book reviewer, I’m happy to do so!! 😉 😉 😉

OMG! Words cannot describe how excited I am! 🙂 I’m sure it’ll be awesome!!

I would LOVE to be a tester!!!! Keep me updated on that please! But if you need testers, would we need to go to Texas?! :O I live in Cali, so hmmm… :O (unless I have something to do there, then it would be awesome if the trips coincided!) So would testers have to go to Texas? 🙂

And will you be including the nutrition info of all the recipes in your cookbook? I would love for there to be nutrition info!

Also, will you be giving us any teasers? Like the cover? Or recipe hints?!? :O

Thanks!

Excited CCK Fan,
Grace 🙂

Congrats! I’d be happy to test any recipes, Lord knows I will once the cookbook comes out anyways!

I CANNOT wait! I’m loving this blog, and the idea of healthy, delicious desserts! Thank you, and good luck!

Ohmyword. This is so exciting! I will definitely be purchasing this when it comes out! Congrats!

So excited for the cookbook!!! I love getting my family to try your recipes and not telling them that they are healthy and vegan *insert evil but still funny laugh* totally down to review or test!

Congrats!!

Hi Katie – I am SUPER excited to hear this!! I’ve been following your blog for only a couple of weeks now, but I am addicted! I’ve made two of your recipes so far and have been absolutely thrilled. I am so thankful to you for putting all these great, healthier dessert recipes out into the world 🙂

So excited, Katie!! Can’t wait!! Congratulations!

Great, can not wait untill this cooking book is available!!
If you need any testers from Belgium, I am your girl!

How exciting–congratulations! I definitely look forward to more great recipes! I would LOVE to see a recipe for a vegan and healthy version of a St. Louis-classic: gooey butter cake. It is a coffee cake that is pretty much sugar and butter, but it is absolutely amazing. I haven’t had any in years and a healthier vegan version would be truly incredible!

Good luck!!

I absolutely cannot wait! I will definitely be buying your cookbook! Congrats! 😀

Ahhh! Sign me up as a tester. 🙂

I would LOVE to be a tester! I’m so glad you’re making a cookbook. All of your recipes are amazing! Thanks for all you do!

Congratulations! I’ve been waiting for this 🙂

Hooray! Multi-generational family of testers here, ready and waiting. 🙂 This is one cookbook that, if we don’t get in on the pre-publication testing, we’ll buy the book and do plenty of testing afterwards! We love your recipes and just may get this book for family and friends who ought to be eating healthier desserts. 😉 Congratulations on the progress!

Me too!! I want to be a tester! I already ‘test’ quite a few of your recipes and have yet to find one I don’t like!

Yeah!!! I love your recipes and this news is sooooo exciting!! I can’t wait 🙂

That is wonderful and look forward to purchasing your cookbook!! Good Luck

This is fantastic news! I have made many of your recipes for my family and they are all so delicious! I can’t wait for the cookbook!

I am a new follower to CCK and recently subscribed to your mailing list. I am in such love. I cannot wait for a cookbook. If they will let you, please also include a section on your oatmeal with your tips and tricks — especially the melted banana trick and the voluminous oatmeal trick.

I would be absolutely delighted to be considered for recipe testing.

I am so excited for you! And for us, too! Congrats! You totally deserve this amazing blessing.

Congrats! That is so exciting! I love your recipes and can’t wait for the book to come out! Keep us updated on your progress I would love to hear how a cookbook comes to be!

Love to test! I love your blog. Your recipes are so inventive! I expect wonderful things from your cookbook. GF in Canada.

I can hardly wait for your cookbook to come out. Congratulations! If you need a tester, count me in. Title of your cookbook – what’s wrong with just: Chocolate Covered Katie – healthy, indulgent desserts.

I so want a pre-order!! You have saved me from a life of fat thighs and satisfied my love of dessert!!

I am so totally excited to hear this and cannot wait until your cookbook comes out!! Your voluminous ice cream recipes made in the Vitamix have finally allowed me to get past the last obstacle to being 100% vegan…cannot thank you enough!! If you need testers I am certainly interested. Love your blog and thanks for doing all you do!

I hope we can buy this book in Canada, I love your blog and recipes.

Noooo! I can’t wait until 2014!!! 🙂 Looking forward to buying a few copies to share with family members. Yeah!

Oh I can’t wait, hope it is available as an ebook too!!!!

I really hope it will be available in the UK. I need this book! Congratulations on getting published 🙂

I’ll be happy to be a tester!

Oh yeah. Highly anticipated and going on my 2014 Christmas wishlist!

I’d be happy to help with testing recipes- it would be my second recipe tester ‘assignment”

I have already requested your cookbook for Mother’s Day, not knowing when it might be published. I tell everyone about your recipes! (My teenaged son could even spout out your website, he has heard me talk about it so much!). I bake all the time, and have been gluten free for almost two years, so would be a happy baker if you need testers!

Exciting news! Would love to be a tester. I make a lot of your recipes for my family and they love them all!!

I.CANNOT.WAIT for the cookbook!! Super excited! I absolutely love your blog and wonder how I survived before it! 😉

I am interested in your cookbook, i can test for you too if you need more people. Count me in! 🙂 I love chocolate!

I’m your biggest fan, I will be buying this book the day it comes out! I would be honored to test your recipes, though it sounds like you have a lot of people on your list already ^.

Any plans on doing a book tour? That would be SWEET!

Gluten-Free tester, at your service in Indiana! All the chocolate you care to throw out there!! (The darker, the better!)

Congratulations! I will be pre-odering this book as soon as it’s listed!

Can not wait for this book Katie! My birthday is in the Autumn – it’s on my birthday list already!

How very exciting for you!!!! I cannot wait for the cookbook to come out, as it will definitely be on my list! I use your recipes all the time and have turned several of my friends on to your blog! I’d gladly be a taste-tester, as well, although it appears you have MANY hands already raised for that job 🙂 Congratulations!

So excited for you! I can’t wait!!!!!

Brilliant! I can’t wait for your cookbook, your recipes are so lovely and simple!
I second the idea of including some pastries and stuff, as often they in particular are featured as being overly complicated in most books.
Also a list of alternatives/substitutions to ingredients is a great idea.. maybe particularly for coconut oil as I know you use it often, but here in Ireland it’s not available and when it rarely is, it is very expensive – but I would really love to know what can be used instead! (and I’m sure others think similar things about other ingredients).
Looking forward to the book! 🙂

I am really excited about this!!!! Congrats, can’t wait to buy one!!

Can’t wait! I’m pre-ordering/buying immediately when it’s available. I can’t make any suggestions because you come up with such creative stuff I could never think of. Good work!

Congratulations Katie! I love your recipes and am excited about purchasing the book. Been waiting awhile and I’m glad to see “light at the end of the tunnel!”

Congratulations! Have fun with it. I’m looking forward to getting this; it’ll be on my Christmas wish list 2014 or sure.

Congrats Katie!

You truly deserve this! Anytime someone is looking for a healthier dessert option I always find myself referring them to you! I’d be happy to test anything that you need on the gluten free side! I know what all my foodie friends will be getting for Christmas in 2014!

Congratulations! Hope it all comes together for you. Can’t wait ’til it comes out!

I am so excited to here this! I discovered your blog a few weeks back and since then, a day hasn’t passed where I haven’t browsed your blog for fun recipes. The tough part is that they are all fun and it’s hard to decide what to make!
By the time this cookbook comes out I’ll be a college student (with kitchen access) so I sure hope there’s at least a small section that includes more single-person/microwave recipes! I’ve also never had a food processor so it’s a bummer to have to skip those recipes 🙁
Congratulations on the book! Can’t wait.

CONGRATS….
Love your blog and your recipes….

I think ALL of us want to be testers! 🙂

Hi Katie, that is awesome news!!!
I have made a bunch of your recipes not just desserts too. If you need a tester I would love to be one. I am in the process of starting my own web page because I love to cook, bake, decorate, plan parties so anything you need I will help out 🙂 I am also making a recipe book stand in my kitchen so I will be sure to leave a space for this!!

I would love to be a tester, of course it looks like you are not short in that dept. I absolutely loved your recipes so what a great idea for you to publish a book. Congratulations! Also, just curious will you have a digital format available as well or just going with the print? Cant wait to try more of your recipes!

So excited your cookbook will be published! Love your desserts! I could be a taster from Florida! Time for a new adventure!

I am so gonna buy this cookbook!!! You’re awesome!!!

Congrats, Katie! I’m looking forward to your cookbook. Your blog is always the first place I check when I need some healthy dessert inspiration!

We are SO very excited for your cookbook! I have a four year old and a two year old who would love to be taste testers for you- (you could put kid tested and approved in your cook book!) :-). IF you ever felt like visiting Boston! Your recipes have been a life safer for our family with our little girls milk and soy allergies. I love that I was able to make my 2year olds request for a fruit tart for her birthday out of your lemon bar crust. Any included adaptations for soy free in your book would be greatly appreciated!

I would love to see a healthier version of Banoffee Pie (very popular in England). Thank you!

How exciting!! I am so happy for you and for all of us who will be able to own your cookbook! I, too, would be happy to be a tester. Everyone in my family has sweet teeth, not just a sweet tooth, lol! Plus, my hubby is a good gauge of tastiness. He considers himself a dessert connoisseur. 😉 Good luck with everything. I know it’s going to be amazing! <3

Please please please put in more single-serving recipes! They are a college girl’s salvation both financially and nutritionally.

I’m sitting here eating your pumpkin baked oatmeal as I read this fantastic post…and I couldn’t be more excited!!! If you need a GF tester, I am VERY interested 🙂 🙂 Way to go Katie, you are amazing!
P.S. I second the request for croissants…especially if you can make them gluten free!

Congrats on the book deal! That is awesome!

So excited, I love your recipes, and all are wonderful. If you need a tester, I am the one!!!!
Will be pre-ordering as soon as it is available. Congratulations….

I’m somewhat local to you! I live in the Texarkana area and visit Dallas about once a month. I would LOVE to be a tester, as would my husband and 3 children, whether just sampling what you’ve cooked or trying a recipe at home.

I’m so excited for you (And us!)! I’m very much looking forward to this and more of your recipes.

Congratulations, girlfriend! I think everyone else said it all, so forgive me for keeping this brief 🙂
You rock!
p.s.- my mom said she *might* get it for me- and knowing my mom, I’m getting it!

Looks like the crowds beat me to offering to be a tester. In my personal defense, I can offer that I did work in a Sheraton bakery for a while and I did win a ribbon at a county fair when I was a teenager for cheesecake. *fingers crossed* And, of course, I’m very happy for you! *thumbs up*

this is great news!! very excited for you lady!
would love to test with a focus on gluten free

Katie,

Can we pre-order the book and is there any way to have you sign my copy?

Best of luck to you…so well deserved!

Carmel

I can’t wait…….yum yum

I am interested in purchasing the cookbook as a presales order type thing! 🙂 I do not know where you are located, but taste testing would work for my family as well. 🙂 You could them have female, male, and kids’ perspectives. 🙂 LET ME KNOW! 🙂

Hi I am a stay at home mom that LOVES to play with food. I have 15+ years cooking/restaurant experience. I also use to teach a healthy cooking class for those on a carb/sugar/oil free diet. talk about challenging!!! I also am a cake decorator. That helped kill me on eating cake at parties and weddings. believe me the sweet sickening smell gets to you!!! lol I generally try recipes as written then experiment and I love a good challenge! I will sit and watch cooking shows find the recipe and try to make it healthier! I have two personal friends that are professional fitness experts I check in with them often on tips!! Anyway feel free to contact me for testing out recipes! 🙂 p.s. never tried tofu yet!! :-$

Congratulations!

Katie –
So many wonderful comments and excited people, must make you feel great. I am in agreement that I can’t wait for the cookbook and will definitely be getting a copy or two. I second the breakfast pastries and croissants recipes if it’s possible to make them vegan. Wishing you the best always. Keep up the good work. You have quite a following. I would also love to be a taste tester. I did help out once before with that and it was fun to do.

Well appears you have no shortage of taste-testers 🙂 but if you ever need an extra eye editing, I’m a pro…what’s worse, I LOVE it. (Editing, that is.) I’ll even do it for free (or at least for a free edition of the cookbook.) I can send a resume, if needed. (I’m also a writer, but you need zero help there, and you really don’t appear to need an editor since I’ve never ONCE seen a typo, grammatical error nor misspelling in a single blog of yours…and trust me, I’d have noticed. It’s a curse!)

I can’t wait!

Count me in as a tester pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!!!!! I only wish it was going to be published sooner. It is going to be such an excrutiating wait.

Congratulations!! I am a HUGE fan of your recipes and am so glad to see that they will inspire others beyond the reach of this blog! 🙂

I can’t WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally!!! <3 !!!

congratulations Katie.

I cannot wait for this book to come out! Not only will I be buying a copy for myself, but will be getting many copies for friends and family, as well as recommending it to EVERYONE that I know (I already recommend the website to everyone!). I would be happy to be a tester as well! I have made so many of your recipes over the last couple years and would be happy to try some new ones!

How exciting for you! I do look forward to this coming out, although your blog is already a “recipe book” as far as I’m concerned.

I would be happy to “taste test” the recipes at my higher altitude here in Colorado if you want, since Texas is so “low” in comparison!

I also want to chime in about putting weights in the book – please, please add in (g) or (oz) for everything, it makes it sooooo much easier!

I can’t wait!! I LOVE your recipes! They have allowed me to eat healthy AND still enjoy the foods and sweets I love!

What does TDB stand for?

I would happily be a recipe tester for you!!! Sign me up!

Want to be a tester, of course!!!!!

So excited for you!! Fun, fun, fun to come and can’t wait to try new recipes!!!

I am SO excited about the new cookbook and am elated for you Katie!!!! You deserve the best for sharing all your treasures with! Love, love, love you!

Ooooh la la! Everything I’ve made from your website tastes great without guilt!! As a true celiac, I have problems with the GF oats called for in some of your recipes. What could I use as a sustitute?? And yes–the request for fig bars (which I haven’t been able to eat since 1986 when I was Dx) and cinnamon rolls have my hearty support! Your blondies made with chickpeas is one of my fav’s–anything more in which you utilize beans would also be high on my request list. I absolutely LOVE your recipes & will be eagerly anticipating your cookbook, as it will be well used in my kitchen from the get-go!! Thank you so very much!!

Congratulations Katie! Looking forward to the book 🙂

I would love to be a tester. We are gluten free, vegan and we love your recipes. My kids think you are the best! If it comes from Chocolate Covered Katie they are happy! Can’t wait for the cookbook! I am in for 5 since I have 4 littles and they will want their own copy! 🙂

I can’t wait!!!!!! Congratulations Katie !!

OH MY GOODNESS, I can’t wait till your cookbook comes out!!! I am so going to buy it!!! I will be watching to be a tester too!! This is so cool!! You must feel so proud!! Keep up the good work!!

If you are interested in LOCAL taste-testers, my bff and I are your women! We live in Fort Worth, and would definitely be interested in testing your awesome creations! Just let me know if you would be serious about it!

So many to-be taste testers 😀 Anyway, I am joining all of this crowd with a hope to become one :))

Awesome, Katie! I love your recipes :). Will be eagerly awaiting the cook book!

Wow! I have just recently (literally, in the last few hours 🙂 ) discovered your blog and already am excited about the cookbook! Your recipes sound absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to start trying them! Sign me up for testing! 🙂

I too would LOVE to be a tester!!!! Either way though, I’ll be pre-ordering your book the second it becomes available on Amazon 🙂

I am so happy for you Katie……and for us! So many times when looking at your recipes I wanted to tell you, “You need a Book”! My only problem is that we have to wait so long! Good luck., I bet that this will be only the first!

Sooo happy for you! Been making and drooling at your recipes for months now. Can’t wait to see your new cookbook! God Bless Katie…

I love you Katie! I’m 17, vegan for one year and committed for life and you’re such an inspiration! I have given my non-vegan friends your recipes and they love them too. I’ll be in my first year of university when your book come out and it will be so helpful 🙂 so excited for you!

I’m so thrilled!!!!!! Can’t wait to get my hands on your book!!

I would love to be a tester, I am new to the website and have tried 3 of your desserts and I love them. We try to eat very healthy and I am always looking for sweet treats for my daycare. I love what you have done and look forward to each new dessert to try on my family. They love you too!
Blessings
Theresa

What good news. Our recipe notebook is already stuffed with recipes printed from your blog…a real book, with pictures to boot, is JUST the thing for us. And for a number of friends for whom I’ll be ordering copies for Christmas, I’m sure. Can’t wait!

I want a copy or two when they’re published!

I would love to be a tester! I share your site and recipes with my clients all the time! Love you!

I can’t wait for your book! So exciting. I would love to be a tester as well. I try out your recipes at least a couple of times a month, with great success. I do make a couple of substitutions regularly, as I am hypoglycemic. I always use beet sugar instead of white sugar, and coconut or date sugar for brown sugar. No one in my family has ever been able to tell that I am not using “real” sugar.

Congratulations! That is wonderful and exciting news! I will be purchasing a copy. 🙂

I would love to be a tester for GF options 🙂 yay!

I am very excited for your cookbook. I would be happy to be a tester for you too.
would love for you to have the nutritional breakdown of the recipes.

Yay!! I can’t wait and I’m so excited for you! Taste testing sounds fun, who wouldn’t like making and trying any one of your delicious recipes?!

i’d love to see lots of natural sweetener (think fruit, maple syrup, coconut sugar, etc) and gluten free recipes! and i’d be happy to prepare, taste test, and provide feedback on just about anything that fits into those two categories 🙂 your website has seriously been life changing. i never knew i could make my own chocolate chips sweetened with natural sweeteners or blondies from chickpeas! and i make the copycat larabar recipes weekly.. my five year old son has loved everything so far 🙂 thanks for giving us healthy alternatives!

LOVE your blog and am very excited for your cookbook to be published. Pick me! Pick me! Pick me! to be a taster. I live in DFW area too.
Joyce at JAL456@msn.com

I would love to be chosen as an editor!!.!

i would love to see low cal coconut flour pancakes, gluten free low cal mac n cheese, and some more microwave and freezer friendly recipes!

How exciting! YAY!
I suggest the chocolate chip cookie dough dip!!!! Would that count as a dessert? 🙂
I tell everyone about your awesome blog of recipes! They get hooked, too!

YEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait! Well, I can, and I will….but I am so so so so so excited!!!!!!! Congratulations on the publisher! I’m so happy for you that you get to do this 🙂

How exciting! I can’t wait! I like your recipes because I don’t see Xanthan gum/guar gum in everything! I hope that you will have Stevia and Xylitol substitutes in your book, I don’t use either of those…. I tend to stick with maple syrup, coconut sugar/nectar, honey, and some limited amounts of regular sugar. I know that you try to avoid sugars…..but I think many people still like to use the ones I’ve listed. I don’t think you’ll have any shortage of willing testers!! Good luck to you!

I can hardly wait for the cookbook. Hope they offer discounts for multiple purchases as I can see myself buying one for each cook in the family and then there’s always the friends one hopes will reciprocate the gesture of a gift cookbook with a treat or two made from said book.

Wonderful news!! Congratulations, Katie!! That is a huge accomplishment!! I’ll be pre-ordering the cookbook as soon as its available!! I’m in Canada, so I’d love to be your tester from the north! Lol!! Love your site, all your food is awesome!!
Jo

Hey Katie,

The recipes don’t have to be all new ones, a nice complilation of the ones on your blog would be nice too. Easier than printing each one individually 🙂 So please incorporate as many (old) recipes from your blog too! Looking forward to the publishing date!

Yes, I would love to be a tester and test your recipes before they a to be published in your upcoming cookbook, also Congratulations on your upcoming cookbook!

Congratulations Katie! Well done, I look forward to getting a copy of your book next year.

Congrats on the new cookbook and yes, it will be a long wait for all of us CCK Fans! By the looks of all the responses, you won’t have ANY trouble finding testers from all over the place. So, just to throw my name into the hat, Canada is a lovely place to test out recipes – hee hee! All of your recipes have been hits at my house and I have surprised many people with items I have taken to family functions etc. They are skeptical at some of the ingredients but can’t believe it when they taste them. Keep up the great work on trying to keep us all healthy with Chocolate!

I will buy this 🙂

Can I PLEASE PLEASE BE a tester ?????

Shiritaki noodle recipes would be freat! Like ma n cheese, baked zitti, penne ala vodka etc using shiritaki noodles!!! 🙂

Will you still be able to include the Weight Watchers PointsPlus value with the recipes? I love that you do now so I don’t have to recalculate everything! Congratulations on the cookbook – I can’t wait for it to come out.

Can’t wait until your book comes out! I have been following you since the “fudge babies” days! We have your recipes at our office 2-3 times per week! I have shared your site many times and when someone needs a “recipe” your site is the one shared! Would love to be a tester for you! Will be giving your book as gifts to family/friends as soon as it is available!

Congratulations on your upcoming cookbook. I am sure you are super excited! I know I am . I have noticed several offers to be a tester and you can add me to that number. LOVE your site!

As a great-granmama[grandmother] & a diabetic who has several in family I am so happy to have found you.Thank you so much and I will tell everyone about your cookbook.

Katie, Congratulations! I am so excited for you. I hope you continue to find things that inspire you to create! I look forward to your cookbook.

Woohoo! Would be glad to pre-order when the time draws closer. 🙂

Can’t wait!!!

soo looking forward to it!

will the recipes offer measurements by weight as well as volume? baking by weight is my favorite way to bake, and I usually end up having to convert volumes to weights since most books/recipes don’t offer weights for the ingredients

luckily you offer them for I believe most of your website recipes, which I love! so I hope to see it carry over to the book also 🙂

I don’t follow blogs much anymore, but I so often happen upon yours when looking for dessert recipes. When I was making your sugar free peanut butter cookie dough recipe yesterday I was thinking that you really should have a cookbook by now! And then today I see it is true! Congratulations, I can’t wait to see it!!

Yay! Can’t wait! Can I get an autographed one?!? And I would totally sacrifice myself to be a tester since it doesn’t look like you are getting very many volunteers! 😉

I LOVE your blog and every recipe I have tried has been fantastic!
I would really like to see more single serving deserts.
Also, it would be great if you could include more low fat recipes (no oil). I know you have some suggested substitutions, but you usually say that you haven’t tried it or couldn’t vouch for it. Maybe just come up with some concrete substitutions for your favorite recipes or something?
I’m so excited, can’t wait for the book!!!
Congrats!

I will be waiting to be a tester & look forward to the preorder!

I would LOVE to see a healthy version of macarons.

So so happy for you Katie!!! Congratulations!!! Love your blog, love the recipes. Can’t wait for the book to come out but will enjoy trying the many recipes you have now. Debbie

Suggestion, Pastry Hearts… The “real” ones, from Buffalo, NY. These are the most delicious things ever, and I have no idea how you’d “fix” them…

Oh Katie what a joy it’s been to try your recipes from the blog for my family! My kids cSnt have soy, dairy, peanuts or gluten and I am gf/sf vegan by health-choice so we have loved the yummies we’ve found through you! We are so excited to see that book in print, it will be my greatest cookbook treasure yet!! Blessings!!

I would love love love a healthy lemon cake recipe because that is my favourite! I also think mock dairy queen blizzards like cookie dough or strawberry cheesecake or frozen ice cream bars would be another good idea:) Cannot wait to buy this.

I LOVE your recipes so much.
I hope you give gluten free options as you usually do.
Thank you for sharing your yumminess!!
My 15 year old son has discovered your carrot cake recipe and it made him feel like a master chef, lol! Can’t wait for your cook book to be published!!

an option for substituting coconut oil for those of us that are deathly allergic to it! Love it but it does NOT love me!

Hey Katie,

I’ve tried a few of your recipes so far, and they’ve turned out great! I hope you include all of the recipes that you can in your book. I look forward to buying it as SOON as it comes out:) I’m also a chocoholic;P and I love all things dessert. However I’ve been trying to be sugar and gluten free the past few months, and it’s very difficult finding good recipes that your friends and family will love also. Keep the updates coming, and congrats on being on the Ellen show! Ellen’s my favorite:D
<3 Mary Ellen

I’m sure that you have used many cookbooks over the years and already know what I’m about to tell you, but I know that too many cookbooks do NOT take this into account, so I’m suggesting it.

If you can at ALL, I can recommend a spiral binding on the cookbook. It is SO much easier to use a cookbook that can lay flat. Hopefully, it’s still early enough in the process to request this. I will buy the book no matter what, but it really makes a difference, especially if you’re working with so many new ideas and ingredients.

I love your blog and can’t wait until you’ve got a book for me to take home!

Congratualtions Katie! Let us know if there is a pre-registry to buy the book through your website. I can’t wait! BTW… I totally bought the Ellen show appearance. Afterall, why wouldn’t she have you on? 😉

I love baking and I love desserts. A few months ago I began looking for healthy dessert recipes. It is much harder to find GOOD healthy dessert recipes than I expected, but then I came across your website. Your recipes are amazing. They are easy and delicious and I can’t wait to purchase your cookbook. PS I would be more than willing to help test some of the recipes out. 🙂

My recipe requests would definitely include copy cat Grands cinnamon rolls (oh how I miss these!!), Tres Leches cake (despite being vegan I still cant turn this down when it is available even though it makes me feel not so good. Love it that much!), and pudding recipes that dont use chia or soy! I love banana pudding especially. =) Please!!!

Over a year…. sigh. I suggest a lemon cake and an angel food cake. Also it would be nice to have full sized cakes :).

Can you get it out in ebook format?

I will absolutly be keeping an eye out if you need testers!

So far away! It will be worth the wait, though. Your Larabars and other bars are incredible. As a matter of fact, I’ve tried so many of your recipes, and they are all just incredible. How about Chocolate Lava Cake? Also, full sized cakes and pies. Anything with pumpkin will be awesome. How about vegetables or beans with chocolate (refried beans with cocoa powder is awesome). Need a tester? I volunteer 🙂
Best of luck, and keep us posted.

I’m excited that you are will have a cookbook out soon! Congratulations!!
I am a bit pouty that it’s all desserts though – your dinner-type recipes are some of my favourites on this site. Oh well, a savoury follow up book perhaps? =)

Congrats on your new cookbook. Could you say in your book whether the recipe can be frozen or easily packable ie. lunch boxes. I love your recipes!

Will it also be coming out in kindle or ebook format? I store my recipes on my iPhone & cook from it

Hey, so Katie, if you can, please check out yoyomax12 on youtube. I just found her, and a lot of her recipes are unhealthy, so maybe you could turn them healthy?? I would love to be a taste tester, although you probably have a lot already. I am so excited for your book to come out, and was wondering if it will be available in Canada? I have tried almost all of your recipes, and I am in love. L-O-V-E!! Today I am making your banana soft serve recipes because I got cheap ripe bananas, and froze them. And, could you please do a recipe for cookies’n’cream baked oatmeal! I love your baked oatmeal. I eat one every day for breakfast, usually the cookie dough one. Thanks

Hurry!! I truly NEED your cookbook sitting on my kitchen counter. 🙂

Please include all the date sweetened yummies. I’m paleo and I just found out Larabar/General Mills is a gmo bad guy so I have to make my own. Any new ideas for date sweetened maybe with orange zest of rum or something?

I am so excited for this cookbook! And a photo for each recipe as well as substitution notes? THANK YOU! One of my favourite things about using recipes from blogs, is that each recipe really does have it’s own photo.
If I may? I really really really really like it when you just use stevia in a recipe, or only pair it with fruit puree, or a small amount of other sweetener. I can’t have any sweeteners except stevia and glycerine, so replacing significant amounts of sugar in a recipe can be a challenge! (As can vegan cream cheese…)
Thank you for all your hard work! It has seriously made my life much more manageable with my crazy food restrictions!
Also, congratulations on signing on with a publisher 🙂

Hi, will you have any non dessert items? (like the million veggie lentil dish) 🙂

I just searched to see if you had a book already, I wanted to buy it for my sister-in-law! I love your recipes, my kids and I adore the fudge babies and peanut butter eggs – well, and 1 minute chocolate cake, pancake and oatmeal recipes… I will definitely be buying your book when it’s out! Well done and keep the great recipes coming 😉

Pumpkin spice doughnuts would be amazing…if you still need cookbook ideas. I just found your website today and can’t wait to 1) try about a thousand of your recipes and 2) buy your cookbook as soon as it comes out! Best of luck to you!!

Can I pre-order a cook book?

I was just googling to see if you had a cookbook yet, and yay I am so glad you have one coming out this year!
I am new to your blog, but love it. I prefer a book in my hands, so this will probably make me cook more, which will be fun for my friends and family! After watching my brother peel off congealed egg replacer and bravely still eat the banana muffin, I am sure they will be glad for me to make some recipes that actually work, instead of my mostly-guessed substitutions on standard recipes 🙂

You have a big college fan base! We’d love tips on healthy study-snacking foods, prices, foods that store well, etc. Also, healthy energy bars are the bomb!

Hi Katie!
Any updates on the cookbook? I cannot wait to find out about the date release.

I LOVE your single serving recipes!! Especially the oatmeal recipes and the pancake recipes!! Any chance you might have a section of the book dedicated to single serving desserts?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I absolutely love your recipes they are all so good. In your new cookbook is there any way to make a whole section or label the recipes that are free from the 8 most common food allergens.
(dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish). The fact that you are vegan helps a lot! Maybe when you have a recipe with nuts or soy you can come up with and good substitution or alternative recipe. I would love to be able to try ALL your recipe’s….

I’m a bit LTTP, but congrats! And will you be going on a cookbook signing tour??? I don’t know if cookbook writers typically go on tours, but I’d love to meet you and have you sign my cookbook! In fact, I know a few local private owned bookstores that have artists come in for book signings often that would probably be absolutely excited to have you and support your cookbook, if you want some ideas 😉

Hi! I’m SUPER excited about your cookbook! I’ve already made probably 50+ recipes from your blog, believe it or not, and I’m always looking for more. However, I found your cookbook available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble… and it says that the expected release date is supposed to be January, 2015. Is this true? Thanks!

Will your cookbook be available on amazon kindle?

I pre-ordered my copy today!
