If you follow me on Instagram, you know I've been working my butt off in the kitchen, testing recipes for the book. I am finally at a place where I can start handing some off to recipe testers! That's where you come in.
I am looking for recipe testers who:
- Can follow a recipe to a "T" without substituting ingredients, changing methods, etc.
- Can be diligent in catching any technical or grammatical errors.
- Can be honest with me. Tell me if you don't like something. My feelings won't be hurt.
- Can test a recipe and report back by a given date.
- Are ok preparing recipes containing gluten, oil, sugar, and salt. There are gluten-free, oil-free, sugar-free, and salt-free recipes but that's not what this book is about.
- Are NOT professional chefs. I'm looking for the home chef with beginning to intermediate skill-level. I will consider advanced-level as well, but I need to make sure my recipes are okay for even the most novice of chefs.
- Are ok with keeping these recipes to themselves. No sharing (I mean, you can share the food with people, but don't go blabbing the recipe on your blog or anything).
- May or may not be vegan. Vegetarians and omnivores, you guys are welcome too as long as you're cool with preparing vegan food.
If this sounds like you, please email me at kristy @ keepinitkind . com. Tell me the following information:
- Your name
- Your age
- Your dietary status (Vegan, Vegetarian, Omnivore, or whatever you category you fall in to)
- How experienced a chef you are (Can't boil water, Occasional Chef, Passionate Home-Cook, Iron Chef, or whatever you may consider yourself).
- Why you want to test recipes for this book.
UPDATE: As of 1/20/14, I will not be accepting any more applications. Thank you so much. Stay tuned as I'll be revealing the theme of the book in the coming weeks!

This is totally unrelated to the post, but your new headshot is lovely! You're positively glowing 🙂 I'd sign up to be a recipe tester stat (because your creations are never not delicious), but living in another hemisphere, I'd likely have to go with several substitutions. Oh, well. Best of luck with the cookbook creation!

You know I'm down to help! (Especially since you were so helpful in testing recipes for my book!) And +1 to what Claire said... the new headshot is gorgeous! 🙂
Angela @ Canned Time

Sounds like an exciting project- I'm in the UK, would I still be okay to help test? There might be some ingredients I can't get.

here to help, Kristy! I'm Beth Ann from Montana, age: 45, vegan who loves to cook for myself and others more than anything. I am an accomplished home cook, and I make 98% of the food I eat from scratch. My friends can't get enough.

I'd love to help out! I'm vegetarian and make pretty much all my food at home. I'm also a student, so my focus is cheap, healthy meals that will feed my boyfriend and myself and keep us full for a while, though not compromising on health. I've been following your blog for a few years, and everything I've made from here has been amazingly good!
Marfigs
Dropped you a line! Either way, what a fun project 😀
Maria
I'd really love to! It's sounds interesting and fun and delicious! unfortunately I live on the opposite side of the world so I wouldn't have access to many of the ingredents so it wouldn't make any sense!
Sorry I cannot be of help 🙁
Looking forward to the end result though 🙂
Emma
Exciting! Have fun with it Kristy! I'd love to test but I've already taken on a few projects so probably don't have the time.
Julie
so down to help....email sent!

I am an avid home cook who recently converted to a vegan diet and new to your blog. I love it and find whole food plant based cooking ingenious!! Coconut bacon, what??!! Who knew??!!!! I would love to be a recipe tester!

I would love to help, but I know that I am hopeless at following a recipe to the letter 😉 Good luck with getting your recipes tested! xx
