THE GLOBAL COOKBOOK

Despite being French, the lovely Sylvie has organised a fantastic collection of recipes from members of Fuelmyblog. The book is available from Blurb and profits are going to the charity ‘Stop Hunger Now’.

Fuelmyblog is the only social networking site that I use, and I have watched it develop over the last couple of years with interest and pleasure. I’ve also got to know a lot of the members. The atmosphere that Kevin and Sylvie have created has made the production of this book possible. The amount of back room work that has to be done must, on occasion, be very tedious, and it is very easy to take the service they provide for granted. I know that they love feedback to keep them going.
How many social sites are out there that have created this type of family atmosphere? ……. seriously, is there another one? ………. I need to know in case I’ve out-stayed my welcome ……….

    (It is rather one of Sylvie’s best works, just don’t let her know I said that.)

    Thank you DP for this plug on the Global Cookbook and Fuel.
    It is always nice to hear the good especially for something we are passionate about and WE ARE!!! We have met and made amazing friends along the way, the community of Fuel is amazing and that’s only down to the Fuellers :) we are all family in a way at least in the Blogosphere kind of way :)
    Your support especially, as well as other members of Fuel is the “spark”that keeps the fire alive, we are very aware of it and do not take it for granted x Thank you x

    While you’ve been away, I’ve matured ……. hence the whiff of cheese ……

    [You did well to sort it out so quickly - mind you our problems turned out to be in the wire about 175 yards down the road. The BT engineer who finally sorted it out was very impressive - we actually bribed him with some lunch to keep him on site until it was sorted out]

    I think the cookbook is a wonderful thing. I have been kind of not doing much with my blogs. It is time for me to get back into it again and get involved with things again.
