Kitchen: DIY

I'm excited to announce that our first book is live!

After Tend Magazine folded, I realized that I had a large treasure trove of recipes, articles, and photos that I wanted to do something with. I had articles which had not been published (written for future issues). I had articles which had been on the Tend blog and were now gone. And articles which had been published just once over the years, only in Tend. I have been wanting to start publishing on iBooks and other online vendors so I thought all of these articles and recipes would be great to use as a motivating force to learn a new application and design for iBooks. And of course a great way to learn about all of the processes to publish and launch books! I have been working on iBooks Author for months now, tweaking and working and changing and getting familiar with it all. I broke all of these recipes and articles into 3 books, and I will be publishing one at a time over the next few weeks, with a full length (all new) book coming out after the first of the year! Excitement! 

So ---- today is the day for our launch of Kitchen: DIY! This is a FREE 30-page book with some of our favorite kitchen DIY projects. Brice (my husband) and I have written many articles on home projects and this is a compilation of some of our favorites we wrote together. We are always asked about our hydroponics system and we go through how to choose and setup a system that is right for you. Another favorite is how to roast your own coffee - in a roaster or even on your grill or over a campfire (plus...recipes). How to sprout and which seeds are the best to start with. How to get started growing mushrooms - what are the different types of starter setups from tabletop to logs - and what types of mushrooms can you grow (plus...recipes). Brice also has a great article about grilling with hardwood charcoal and not the little chemical bomb briquettes. Of course this is filled with photos and recipes and detailed information with resources! Happy DIY'ing.
