Dinner: A Love Story, the BookGeneral

Book News

By September 6, 2013October 7th, 201354 Comments

Update! If you have read my book, Dinner: A Love Story,ย if you have cooked from my book, lived with my book, are sick to death of hearing about my book, you should feel free to skip to the bottom of this post. And know that I am eternally grateful. In no small way, your support keeps this blog going.

For those of you whoย havenโ€™t read the book, I just wanted to let you know something: Guess what guys? I wrote a book! And if you read this blog with any kind of regularity, if you get excited by things like mix-and-match menus and Venn diagram-dinners, or if you are the type of person who is required to feed people every day while also doing small things like holding down a full-time job, I think thereโ€™s a good chance you will like it.

At last count, there were well over 100 readers on Amazon who have said as much. I only bring that up as an excuse to quote one of the more recent reviewers: โ€œSkip โ€˜Lean Inโ€˜ and try this!โ€ย How much do I love that? Aย lot.
.

In other exciting news: Dinner: A Love Story is going into its fourth printing. And for those of you who are inclined to read a cookbook on a Kindle, thereโ€™s an Amazon special going on right now through October 7. Dinner: A Love Story has been selected as one of the Kindle 100 (I have no idea what this means, but Iโ€™m going to pretend for our purposes that it is a big stinkinโ€™ deal) and is only $2.99.

And then thereโ€™s this:
.
.
An honest-to-god, 350-page manuscript for my next book. Itโ€™s done. Well, not quite. But a big huge hunk of it is. And if I were a betting woman, Iโ€™d put my money on the celebration including a batch of Great Grandma Turanoโ€™s meatballs. Tonight. More details on the way very soon!
.
Thank you for indulging me. Back to regularly scheduled dinner programming on Monday.ย Also, big thanks to Jessica, ofย Feed Me Dearlyย and her gorgeous pup for sending along the photo way up top.

  • Avatar Jessica Hoffman says:

    How can this be on sale for $3?? That is so awesome. I love my print copy but I just tagged all my friends who work all day and want to eat, have kids and want to eatโ€ฆ or just want to eat.

    Iโ€™m really excited youโ€™re already coming out with a second book. Most of all I enjoy your writing in the cookbookโ€ฆ and then the recipes. Iโ€™ve read Lean In too and I actually think youโ€™ve got complimentary messages!

  • Avatar Andi says:

    Congratulations on the success of your first book (itโ€™s certainly well-deserved)! And I, for one, am really excited for the next one. Hopefully youโ€™ll be able to share a little bit more about it with your blog-readers as itโ€™s publish-date approaches ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Kathryn says:

  • Avatar Amanda says:

    So so excitingโ€ฆI canโ€™t wait to read it! Congratulations, Jenny!

  • Avatar Noellen says:

    congrats! so happy for you! already have the book so didnโ€™t think about needing the kindle editionโ€ฆUNTIL i realized that if i have the Kindle edition of your book, i can do meal planning during my commute to/from work!

    btw โ€“ this weeks menu plan was a major hit. added more keepers to our list โ€“ bbq pulled chicken, salad pizza, soy ginger tofu. so THANK YOU again.

  • Avatar M says:

    Canโ€™t wait for the next book. I own over 40 cookbooks, and thatโ€™s after really weeding out about a year ago. I love them. With this background: I want you to know โ€“ when I need an idea or inspiration in the process of a meal plan, I pull out three books to flip through. 2 of them are Ina Gartenโ€™s, and the other is yours. And I always come away with what I need. Thatโ€™s high praise, my friend!

  • Emily says:

    Hooray! I canโ€™t wait to get it and read it and cover it in food ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Avatar Julie C says:

    Awesome news all around โ€“ so excited to purchase the next one!

  • Kelsey says:

    Awww, we have an old vizsla!! Drew is 15+ years old, very white in the face and paws but still asks for 2 walks a day and would sprint around if his old body would let him, heโ€™s starting to get arthritis pretty bad but he still has so much energy! Love seeing other sweet vizslas (we call them veeshes ๐Ÿ™‚ )

  • Avatar Ruthy @ Omeletta says:

    Thatโ€™s so exciting! Iโ€™m pretty sure the Kindle 100 IS big dang news, and your book is excellent- so itโ€™s a perfect place to be. Canโ€™t wait for the next one!

    Congratulations! Looking forward to your next book.
