My next cookbook!

By

This crepe cake is the cover photo for my next cookbook, The Paleo Chocolate Lovers Cookbook: 75 Gluten-Free Treats for Breakfast & Dessert, coming out this fall. I’m so excited!!! I decided to go with a publisher this time, and it had to be Victory Belt. I ♥ them. You will be able to see the designed cover on Amazon very soon, but in the meantime let me tell you some of the recipes included in the book:

• Chocolate Crepe Cake with Coconut Cream (above)
• Pistachio Date Freezer Candy (below)
• White Chocolate Dipped Macadamia Biscotti (also pictured below)
• Homemade Chocolate (Dairy-Free & Low-Glycemic)
• Mulled Wine Poached Pears with Ganache
• Toasted Coconut Cookies
• Iced Chai Cocoa
• Cherry Cordial Fudge

So I was wondering if any of you dears would be interested in testing a few recipes? To keep the recipes top-secret before publishing, you will need to sign a non-disclosure if you choose to test for me. As my way of saying thank you, I will send each tester a little gift. Just leave me your email address in the comments if you want to be a tester.

♥, Kelly

  2. Kelly, HUGE CONGRATS to you!! I am SO excited for you!! Fabulous news (and I know you have made your readers VERY happy). 😀 How I wish I could test for you, but I guess I’ll have to content myself with making the recipes from the finished book. When is it due? Yay! 😀 xoxo

  4. Hi, I am not sure if my last comment went through or not. I will be glad to test for you and will not say a word about your recipes!!! Hope you are doing well. Take care, Tessa Sansovich

  16. Kelly,

    I would love to be a recipe tester/taster for your new book! I have 3 gluten-free boys (one of which is extremely picky…if he likes something, it is a hit!). Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

    Thanks,

  44. You probably already have enough testers, but your blog has changed our life. You brought treats back into life after we started a very strict diet to keep my son of medicine. I would love test recipes for you. danielle.tietjen@gmail.com And thank you again for all your hard work and creativity. I deeply appreciate you. dani

  47. Congrats on your upcoming book! I would love to test for you, Kelly! I’m allergic to Almonds, so any recipe that doesn’t include those would be awesome! amw.dvorak (at) gmail.com

  50. Congratulations! I would love to be a tester, I have all your books and highly recommend them to my friends. alanna.facchin at gmail dot com

    Thanks, JeanMarie

  73. I’m new to grain-free cooking but just made your latest bread recipe to perfection (YUM), so if you’re looking for a not-so-experienced cook as a tester, I’d be glad to try out anything that’s grain free and sugar free (only use zylitol, stevia or erythritol).

    jmorchesky at yahoo dot com

  78. I’d love to be a tester if you still need anyone. Email is celia.oz {at} gmail {dot} com

    I’ve tested for a few other people before, if that matters.

    (HUGE contrats, though! I’m looking forward to the book.)

  79. You had me at crepe cake–this recipe lineup looks great!

    While I’m not personally paleo, I have a fair amount of experience with paleo cooking (especially sweets!) and have done some recipe testing for my own blog (http://www.woodenspoonbaking.blogspot.com). If you are in need of a recipe tester, you are welcome to get in touch with me there.

    Happy baking!

  80. Hi Kelly,

    My four boys, hubby, and I would love to do some testing for you! Do we need to live in your area, or is this something that can be done long-distance (we are in another state)? Those recipes you have in your new cookbook look exciting! Reach me at allredbecky at gmail dot com.

    Becky

  88. Would LOVE to test the recipes! I have the perfect household of three kids and one husband dying for some yummy treats in a new to Paleo/Gluten-free household. I have always been a baker and they are feeling neglected these days!

    Ingrid
    ingridbecker@me.com

  89. It looks like you have a ton of people to pick from! But just in case, I’d love to test. I’ve done some for Julie Hasson before. So I’m not new to testing.

    Congrats!

  106. I would love to test your recipes! While my blog is not “anything” free, I do eat Paleo. I am starting to make gluten-free desserts for myself and would love the opportunity to learn more about it, from someone who is well versed on the subject.

  109. Congrats, Kelly! If you still need a tester, contact me at julie(dot)robbins(at)sbcglobal(dot)net

  110. If you are still looking for testers, my daughters and I would love to help and give feedback. We have been cooking through your first cookbook and your grain free book. I have been gf/df for 3 year’s, grain free for several months..just had to give up Beans which made me so sad as I loved your vanilla bean cake. My daughters are dairy free as well and ages 11 and 5..

    If you need us my email is checstanley at yahoo dot com

  124. Congratulations on your new book coming out. I would also love to test for you but I can see that you have quite a few volunteers so depends if you need me or not.
    Thanks for the opportunity though.

  130. Looks like you have plenty of testers, but if you need more… 🙂 We are gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and cant have pecans or walnuts. I can even give you some kid input. (ages 7, 5, 3, and 10 months) 🙂 christy.vwAT gmail.com

  136. Can;t wait for your next book! I’d love to be a recipe tester for you! lmbvolpe(at)hotmail(dot)com.

  138. Kelly,
    Looks wonderful! I love your recipes and just got a Blendtec as a Christmas gift from my parents. I would love to put it to good use testing your recipes. Three of us, myself and two of my children, have celiac disease. We all eat a Paleo diet with my husband and one son taking some liberties that we can’t. I would so enjoy to test these recipes and add more delicous variety to our food choices with them.
    Thanks for all that you do!

  140. Hi! I would love to be a tester if I can…I have 3 kids under the age of 7 and we do not do gluten, flax, dairy, soy, eggs, and nuts. We have been able to adapt some recipes thus far. I wish you the best!

  147. Kelly Congratulations! I’m completely smitten by the first picture especially (though love them all)! Can’t wait to see it. I’ve been gluten free for 8 years now as are my kids and the paleo approach is grabbing my attention these days. With a shot like your first one, I’m not sure I can resist!

  152. Hi Kelly,
    I am so excited for you. If you still need help I would love to test for you. I have been eating Paleo/gluten free off an on for the last 3 years and I love your ideas.

  154. Wow, how would you possibly choose your recipe testers! Well, we are gluten free, dairy free, sugar free as my eldest is on the autism spectrum. Your site has been such a blessing to us and a fountain of information. I would love to test your recipes and would be most happy to sign non-disclosure agreement. And then promote to all my Aussie friends!

  155. Your cookbook looks so exciting! I would love, love to be a taste tester for you. I’ve made a couple of your recipes and have been thrilled with the results and am so curious to see what else you have come up with!

  157. hi kelly! i have your other books and have tried not all but almost all of your other recipes. i would be happy and super excited to be a tester. i have two little paleos (2 and 4) who would be over the moon to be testers too. thanks!

  160. If you don’t mind us being in Germany, we would be honored to test your recipes and help promote your book – Paleo is just getting its feet on the ground over here -we have an open Facebook group called rcfn paleo challenge and testimonials on our website that draw folks in – info(at)Reebokcrossfitnuernberg dotcom

  168. I would love to test recipes for you. My daughter is recently diagnosed as autistic and we are allergic to gluten and dairy. wagardener @ hotmail.com

  172. PS. I have two children, 12 and 8, one of whom is allergic to soy and dairy (and gluten) and one just to gluten. I’d love for them to be testers too!

  173. Well I am sure you have enough testers, but just in case I volunteer. I am a new type 1 diabetic and learning a new way of life. I have your other cookbooks. Can’t even imagine being type 1 without them. if fact I had the books before becoming type 1. Email is hearthome@integrity.com looking forward to cooking even if I’m not a tester.

  177. Hey Kelly! These all sound SO good! I’d just love to be your tester! I grew up with my Gramma bein a professional wedding cake decorator, so it’s in my blood, unfortunately so is keeping on weight, but since going paleo to help with my weight and health, finding your website has helped me out immensely as well a your cookbooks! Can’t wait to test your new recipes out! My email is shoopsbottle at hotmail dot com

  178. Dear Kelly!
    Oh – so many have already wanted the job as a tester. I would be very glad, if the job could be mine, but in the end I really hope, that your cookbook turns out very well, and that you are happy with the recipes.

    Thank you and take care

  191. I don’t know if I have time to be a tester right now, plus it looks like you have plenty of volunteers already. So I just wanted to say congrats and I look forward to seeing the finished product!

  193. Kelly, I love your blog and I would love to test some recipes. I’m fairly novice to baking and have wanted to incorporate more Paleo/gluten-free foods into my diet (to replace other less healthy options). You already have quite a few people who are willing to try out recipes so I’m not sure you need me anymore, but just in case, here is my email: leah.yablongATgmailDOTcom

  195. I’ve been newly diagnosed as needing to cut out sugar, gluten, eggs and dairy (oh, and other grains) and would love to try out recipes to not feel deprived! 🙂 If you still need people, I’d love to “test”…:)

  197. I’ve loved your blog for years, but I’m just starting out grain-free myself. You’re such a beautiful inspiration! I would love to be a recipe tester, too. email: sara [at] sarawalters [dot] com

  198. Yay for a new cookbook!! How exciting! 🙂
    I’d love to be a recipe-tester! And I’m sure my family would love it too! 😀 hehe… a couple extra goodies around the house is never a problem over here!

  199. I would love to test out one of your recipes! Although, it does look like you may have more than enough testers based on these comments! Good luck with your new book! I can’t wait to see it!

  200. would love to be a tester if you still need testers! we eat grain free at our house and i have two of your fabulous books! robyn krieger meyers (at) gmail (dot) com

  206. I would love to be a tester. I am gluten/casein/whey/egg white intolerant. However I have slowly been trying eggs in baked dishes and it seems it is okay as long as not too many eggs. So I mostly eat vegan or paleo as I try to be low GI too.

  207. Hi Kelly! This is Laura Pittman…we’ve met a couple of times…once at Red Frog and then at the GF Expo last year…but, anyways..I have to tell you that my kids and I(well, maybe more me) are addicted to the chocolate chip monster cookies! Delicious and eating it raw is SO Yummy!
    I see that you have alot of volunteers to be a tester. I’d love to throw myself out there as one too! My email is laurapittman@gmail.com
    Thank you for all you do….your recipes have helped my family “recover” our son!

  225. I enjoy grain-free, sugar-free recipes and would enjoy testing recipes for you. I live at a high-altitude (6700 ft), so could give results for that type of baking, too.

  232. I would love to be a tester for you!! Between myself and the kiddos we have a number of food allergies in our house. That, combined with our attempt to drastically clean up our food choices, made me happy to have recently discovered your blog. I am very interested in trying out your recipes! My email address is jennifer.hollohan@gmail.com

  236. Hi! I thought I commented yesterday but I don’t see it listed. I would love to be a tester if you still want anyone, I know you have a lot already here. Your recipes have changed my life, I never thought I would be able to eat cake or cookies again, and I am so excited for another cookbook! My email is shadowspinner7@gmail.com, let me know what I need to do to sign the confidentiality form!

  237. I’m happy to be a test for you as well. You’re website is a go-to for me as I am: gluten, dairy and largely grain free being a type 1 diabetic with food allergies 🙂

  240. Hi Kelly, I have been following you for quite a few years now and love your recipe’s. I would love love love to be a tester!!

  241. Kelly – I look to your blog for inspiration and ideas, so the thought of trying your recipes gives me a thrill. It may be too late to throw my hat into the ring, however I would LOVE to be one of your testers.

  243. YES!!! I am your girl to taste-test recipes!!!!!! Your new cookbook looks AMAZING! I have all your other cookbooks and you can be assured that I will be buying this one the day it becomes available for sale. hjhoug at hotmail dot com

  244. I recently made the switch to a healthier way of eating due to my health issues, including Crohn’s disease. Your website has been a fantastic resource for me in learning how to adapt to eating this way after eating whatever I wanted my whole life.

    I would absolutely LOVE to be one of your testers. My email is Chelsea dot Rice2012 at live dot com

  247. Kelly, I just got my first cookbook and so appreciate your brains, girl! 🙂 The pics throughout are beautiful! Quick question: With Candida I can’t have honey. Can you (or anyone reading) share how to substitute a dry sweetener (like xylitol or erythritol) for liquid honey in some of Kelly’s yummy recipes? Cooking is chemistry and I know if I use dry instead of liquid, the recipe will be altered.

  253. I would love to test recipes for you and am an experienced tester having tested for 6 cookbooks so far. 🙂 I love the process and have a family who enjoys trying new recipes and giving honest feedback. honeybearstamps at peoplepc dot com

  254. Guess I’m a little late to offer, but I’d be thrilled to test recipes for you! Been reading your blog for ages and cooking your recipes. Love them!

    I’d also be willing to write up a review post for you on the blog I contribute to, Plan to Eat.

    Erin(at)Tenfold(dot)co

  256. I would LOVE to help you test. My son has allergies and I’m just figuring out the wonderful world of coconut oil, flour and almond flour. I’m going to try them anyways when you publish…looks great. Well done! aprilmurrie@hotmail.com
