Yesterday I sent the final edits off to the team who are translating tropical cuisine: cooking in clare’s kitchen into EPUB and MOBI formats.  There are two or three formats to follow, so when launched the ebook version/s will be readable on any device on the market.

In simple terms I am producing two different types of format – one that will look like a electronic replica of the print book with exactly the same look and layout; and one in free-flowing format which is read on devices such as the Kindle e-ink readers, Barns and Noble’s Nook reader and others.

The fixed format offers all the visual richness of the print book, and can be displayed on iPad and tablets and on your PC or Mac screen or compatible TV screens, where you can enjoy the visual richness at full resolution.

The free-flowing format gets tropical cuisine onto your e-reader and off to the office or supermarket with you so that you can scroll through to contemplate what delicious things to make for dinner!

There will be a special offer at launch for a period of time giving you a great opportunity to buy both fixed format and free-flowing format copies, so that you can have the best of both worlds – the visual appeal of a beautiful cookbook, and portability too.

I am excited and really look forward to announcing the launch and getting tropical cuisine out to you!

It has been a great experience working with the sous chef of the Pullman Reef Casino Hotel, Craig Laska, to put together this dinner based on recipes from Tropical cuisine.  I look forward to seeing all who are able to attend there on the night.

I am developing my consultancy to the food industry on the use of tropical produce and development of recipes and menus, and this has been a great experience along that road.

I’m looking forward to tasting my recipes coming out of a commercial kitchen – it will be the first time someone has cooked my recipes for me!

Tropical Cuisine dinner Friday 1st April

Tropical cuisine: cooking in clare’s kitchen

shortlisted for Best Innovative Cookbook in the world,

Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.

In December tropical cuisine: cooking in clare’s kitchen was awarded the Best Innovative Cookbook in Australia by the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards.  Category winners in each country have since been judged against other winners in the same category in other countries for the Best in World.  The Gourmand judges have now shortlisted four contenders for Best Innovative Cookbook in the world, and tropical cuisine: cooking in clare’s kitchen is one of these top four books.

So if you haven’t yet donated to the QLD Flood Relief appeal, or you are considering donating a further amount, take this opportunity to take part in my silent auction of 10 of my cookbooks to raise money for those affected by the horrendous QLD floods.  Your donations are tax deductible as they are made directly to the fund.  All you do is submit your intended donation amount as a bid on the silent auction bid page.  When the auction is complete and the 10 highest bidders are announced, the 10 highest bidders will simply provide evidence of the payment of their donation into the QLD Flood Relief appeal fund to receive their copy of tropical cuisine: cooking in clare’s kitchen.  All the details of the silent auction are on my previous post.

This wonderful news can help me raise as much as possible by gaining media attention for tropical cuisine, so apologies to the current top 10 bidders but I have decided to extend the bidding deadline to next Tuesday 25th January 9pm AEST.  My cookbook and the auction will receive media attention over the weekend and I hope that this helps to raise further funds for the QLD Flood Relief appeal.

The Gourmand World Cookbook Awards were founded in 1995 by Edouard Cointreau.

Every year, they honour the best food and wine books. The final results will be announced on March 3, 2011 at the annual awards event. The awards ceremony takes place in Paris at Le 104, the new artistic centre of the City of Paris, on the first day of the Paris Cookbook Fair, a four day event held at the same location.
