Art on a Plate: The ACEO Cookbook is finally available at Lulu! Click on it and you'll go there. Wonderful art and toothsome recipes. I contributed the easiest Dummy one in the book and wrote a review based on my experience working on it. You'll want this book if you like art or like eating. Since the recipes are contributed from people working in home kitchens, they won't have that logistic problem of coming out different (and worse) than cookbooks from famous chefs who invented them in restaurant kitchens and just scaled down the quantities.

You can search about 15 pages online too. I didn't mention it in the review, but I believe that all proceeds are slated to support the contest committee of "ACEO Art Cards Editions & Originals" to provide cash prizes to art contests. It's either that or the book's out there at cost, but I recall a long discussion on using the POD proceeds for contest prizes like Blick certificates and cash prizes. So it's also a club fundraiser that supports the arts. Tessa did such a brilliant job editing and introducing it that I'd have voted her a royalty but I think she did it all as a volunteer. The book rocks. Read my review. It's a good cookbook. I want to eat some of the things in it and I'm buying it for Kitten to feed my face.

Long Entry Follows, with No Spoilers. But there's goodies about Steel Guardian and other very cool things including ATC swaps and art commitments. Read on...
