Gastrocast Cookbook Press Release

For what it’s worth, I ust put this out on the wire:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Chef Neal Foley compliments his popular Podcast, The Gastrocast with the release of his cookbook,  The Gastrocast Cookbook: episodes 6-26 at Lulu.com

SHAW ISLAND, WA—December, 11, 2005— Neal Foley, aka "The Podchef"  teaches cooking enthusiasts fundamentals of cooking with the publication of The Gastrocast Cookbook: episodes 6-26 in conjunction with Lulu ( http://www.lulu.com ), the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books.

The Gastrocast Cookbook: episodes 6-26 is a companion volume to The Gastrocast Podcast–an audio cooking show–and contains step-by-step, detailed instructions for preparing many of the recipes on the show.  Chef Foley compliments the text with his richly detailed and beautiful photographs of every step of the preparations.  First published as an ebook available to fans of the show, Chef Foley is releasing the print version of the book with Lulu because he wanted to be in control of the publishing process and found Lulu’s print-on-demand tools to be fast, easy and, most importantly, free.  The Gastrocast Cookbook: episodes 6-26 is available for purchase at www.lulu.com/podchef, in a marketplace filled with other unique and wonderful surprises.

“Independent publishing and print-on-demand is the wave of the future. It is the perfect way to compliment other modern web tools–blogs, podcasting, and tagging–to expand an individual’s means of communication in a competitive market.” said Chef Neal Foley.  “The Lulu process allows me to cut out the middle man (i.e. a separate publisher) and get my work out there the way I want it.  My book fits perfectly with Lulu’s model—niche publishing for a niche market that otherwise would be overlooked."
