Who else here loves coffee? :dieshappy:

I am currently putting together a book of original homemade frappe recipes--so much better than store-bought, and with many more flavors! :rofl: I am hoping to publish this year, so in the coming months, as recipes are completed, I will need recipe testers. I will need at least two people to test each recipe ideally, and you can test as many recipes as you want, but the minimum is 5. The only special tools you will need are a blender. A coffee grinder will help, but you can get away without it. No coffee maker required. This is not a paid position, but you will get a free e-copy of the final book, as well as recognition in the acknowledgements. If you test over 10 recipes I will also send you a hard copy of the book.

If you're interested, please leave a comment and let me know how many recipes you would be interested in testing, and I'll message you when I have a bundle ready. :D

I will also need someone to lightly proofread the text when the book is done. If you're interested in doing that, let me know. It might be a paid position, and you'll definitely get a free hard copy of the book. There is only about 15 pages of "body" text--the rest is recipes with brief descriptions. You would only be editing for typos, not continuity or quality of the actual recipes themselves.

I know we've got some coffee addicts 'round here somewhere though... ;)

I'm not into coffee, though milkshakes and kin are the exception. :D

My mom loves to experiment with recipes, so she would be interested, but she wants to know if there are any ingredients that are exotic, outlandish, or special order, or if it will be things available readily in the grocery store. (She said average kitchen, but we're spice hoarders. ;) )

Everything will be created from basic kitchen ingredients! :D

Awesome!! :cool: I love coffee! Though I don't make my own that often... I'd be interested in helping you out as a recipe tester, Phili! :D I don't have a blender, but I do have a Thermomix and a milk frother. And basic kitchen ingredients is a bonus! :D

Awesome! The Thermomix should work well enough. :D

I'm hoping to have the book ready to send to testers in the next two weeks, or by mid-March.
