I got a big surprise when I got home yesterday! It seems a recipe I submitted to Taste of Home some time back (not sure how long ago) made it into their 2009 Christmas recipe book! I will post pictures on my blog (and recipe too if it's not copyright infringement...Anne...do you know?).

good news

That's exciting. I wouldn't take the chance of taking photos or posting the recipes.

Awesome! Hmmm ... the recipes should still belong to you seeing as they had to attribute them to you when they wrote the book. That's so very cool, Penny! I love TOH!

Congrats, Penny! Unless you assigned your copyright to them when you submitted the recipe (doubtful since they are making $$ on it and you aren't so the tradeoff is usually you get to keep the copyright) - then the recipe belongs to you. Much like posting a recipe here on HHM... you just give them permission to reproduce but you retain the copyright.

Don't you just love cooks who moonlight managing their husband's music? LOL

What a coup Penny! You must be whirling on a writer's high after hearing this exciting news. Just when you least expected it you get this grand boon. Proud of your accomplishment m'dear. Cheers!

Thanks for the support and warm wishes everyone! Hope that someday in the not-too-distant future we will be celebrating a published cookbook from one of us!

  Oh, me too. It'll never be me, though. I have a whole slew started and can't seem to find the time to finish. I'll root for someone else, gladly though!

  Penny,
  I will root for anyone who accepts the creative side of the cookbook. I only wish to browse through them. Today I am going through Martha Stewarts' Cupcakes. Haven't had the chance before this.
  
  Annie,
  It is so cool that you write for Disney. Can you share how you got this fine opportunity? I love a good story.
