One question. I have a gazillion recipes and thought about putting
together a .pdf ebook. Any thoughts on this? 100 ground beef recipes (etc). |

Yes, and please make sure that you don't "steal" the recipes from other
people and then put them in a cookbook called..."My original Low Carb Recipes" or something equally ridiculous. That is really annoying. -- Cheri Dusty wrote: :: One question.

Cheri, I was thinking, rather of a compilation of hamburger recipes (100 or so) in a pdf...and anyone who sent me a recipe to add to it could email me and I'd send them a copy gratis. If I offered it somewhere for sale for something like $.99, any contributed recipe would retain the contributor's name. I have written several books of fiction published by legitimate publishers--stealing authorship of hamburger recipes is sadly pedestrian not to mention unethical. In fact, going to the trouble of putting together a web sales page comes close to outweighing the effort. We all know that gazillions of decent recipes are out there for free wandering loose in the internet, though many of them need tweaking to be both low carb and edible. My recipes tend to be like jigsaw puzzles with alternating pieces anyway--I mean--if the recipe is for ground beef and I have chicken, then why not use ground chicken? Another point is the concept of stealing a recipe. If I talk about sautéing hamburgers and putting a slice of cheese over them, it's not exactly original. I bet the group could come up with 100 variations on plain old hamburgers, if it comes down to it. Or 100 meatloafs. Or 100 stews. All that varies are a few particulars, additions and substitutions. Recipes can be a motivation and frankly I'm at a point where I need some motivation. |

Dusty, I was mostly joshin with you, only because it has happened
before, but I should have put a ;-). I like to see all kinds of recipes, and IMO you can never have enough of them. -- Cheri Dusty wrote in message .. .

It's a legitimate concern though--I've seen it too. An alternative would be a low-carb recipe exchange...where we could post recipes. That would be free--though I might consider having a one-time $1 membership since it would cost about $40/year to open another site. (not a yearly membership, a forever membership) I don't know though...just the thought of it makes me tired. |

I applaud you for wanting to do this....and I hope you do. However, I think you ought to not do it if you really want to make a cent. Just do a real cookbook and leave internet people out of it. Or, take contributions and put them on the website for free. Just IMO. BTW, have to seen the other recipe places for LC on the net? Plenty of good recipes for someone needed motivation. I'm sorry to hear that you're having somewhat of a hard time keeping motivated. http://www.camacdonald.com/lc/LowCar...ng-Recipes.htm |

It is such a simple concept, how many genuine differences can there be? It seems akin to "One Hundred Different Ways To Brush Your Teeth", or "One Hundred Different Ways To Tie Your Shoelaces". Of course in some areas, discovering different ways to do basically simple things can definitely hold interest. Unfortunately the Indians did most of the fun research and published nearly two thousand years ago. The Kama Sutra. Salty Dog |

Unfortunately the Indians did most of the fun research and published nearly two thousand years ago. The Kama Sutra. Salty Dog Salty, you do have a point. My initial concept was (edible) uses of ground beef, not hamburgers persay. However...I am sure we would come up with 100 or more things low carbers add to hamburger to make them interesting. Not that that would be much of a collection. I mean--what options are there? There are only variations on a theme. Cheese, veggies (as in chopped onions/garlic,peppers), spice, some kind of sauce or dip. And then there is how they are cooked: tartar, sauté, broil, grill, (boil? microwave? ick) Maybe a chart would do it. I promise I'm not thinking of doing the carnivore's Kama Sutra or even a burger bible. |

You two might want to check out JepRooster's recipes: http://members.aol.com/jeproostr1/page2.html He's got a lot of Jepburgers on there, though not a hundred. If you look at the rest of his recipes there are some other good ones. Here's his home page, links at bottom: http://members.aol.com/JepRoostr1/index.html I know Jep posted here a few times, a few years back, but he was the mainstay of the AOL Atkins group. Good sense of humor, lost a lot of weight, has had the usual problems with maintenance that so many of us have experienced. I notice he has a few of the really premo recipes developed by the talented cooks over on the AOL group. HG |
