We are eating like kings around here lately. Whoever invented elastic waistbands…I think I love you/hate you. [If you didn’t hear the news in my last post, I’m working away on a second cookbook!]
For my first cookbook, I relied on a fabulous group of dedicated and passionate recipe testers who gave my recipes a whirl in their own kitchens and then provided detailed and honest feedback. Recipe testers are essential to the cookbook development process (just like your recipe reviews on this blog!) and I couldn’t have produced such a solid group of recipes without them. It really takes a village! I recruited family and friends mostly, but since I received a lot of interest from my blog readers, I decided to open it up to you this time around.
I’m looking for recipe testers of all different abilities, so if you are a new cook or a seasoned pro feel free to apply. You certainly don’t have to be vegan either. My passion is creating recipes that people with all kinds of diets can enjoy. Those of you who can commit to testing at least 3 recipes per week will be given top priority as we’ll need to move through the recipes at a good pace.
I’m also looking for testers who will…
follow recipes exactly as written (this isn’t the time to make substitutions, unless suggested in the recipe),
take notes while cooking (such as noting your prep time or any areas of confusion in the directions),
submit thorough feedback immediately following the recipe (there will be an electronic form with standardized questions for each recipe).
You will also need a blender and a food processor as some of the recipes require these tools.
One last thing. Do you love to stuff your face with super delicious food? Perfect. I knew we would hit it off.
If you think you’d like to apply, you can fill out this submission form below. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to take on everyone who applies, but thank you all for your generosity in offering your help!

I’d love to be able to participate. I applied but my only concern is that my schedule varies and I may not always be able to do 3 recipes/week. I’m also really trying to avoid oils. I have your book and it is just beautiful…and yummy! Wishing you much success!
Oh my goodness! I nearly screamed when I saw this post! My mom and I absolutely love your blog & book! We’ve been OSG fans since 2012 :) Oh wow I hope we’re able to help you out Angela! Please oh please! :D
I’m so excited about a second Oh she glows cookbook!!!!!!!
I want to be a recipe tester please!!! :) :)
This would be a dream come true… I love your recipes and have the advantage of beautiful fresh produce in Naples, FLORIDA Would love to help test recipes for #2
Thank you for opening up this opportunity. I would love the chance to test your recipes with my kiddos. We have enjoyed many of the recipes from your site.
I am incredibly excited to see this! I’ve been making an effort for the last few months to have a home cooked meal three times a day, seven times a week. So far it’s been working incredibly well, but I’m starting to repeat recipes already! It would be so exciting to have recipes I know I’ll love sent right to me!
This would be a fun opportunity. I’m excellent at following recipes and could test the results with my boyfriend. I already cook from scratch every day and typically follow recipes I’ve found in my cookbooks or online.
Congrats on the second cookbook! This is such a wonderful opportunity to open up to your readers! Thank you! Xx This is so exciting even if I’m not picked as a tester I still can look forward to more amazing recipes. And by the way I made the caesar salad and I’m hooked!
What fun that could be , sounds great count me in (hopefully) !

2.0? Yes, please! I gave the first one to myself for Christmas and have been rocking the recipes; I’ve even made my skeptical fiance enjoy vegan meals now. Cheers to healthy eating!
Very interesting !

Let’s get cooking Brigitte !
This is so exciting! Congratulations on your second cookbook! My husband and I have been eating vegan for over a year now and I am absolutely in love with your blog and cookbook. You are definitely my go to, in fact pretty much all I use when following a recipe! I know you probably have tons and tons of applicants, but I am totally on board and would love to be a part of it! : )
I definitely awaited your first cookbook for months. It is hands down, my favorite cookbook ever! And I am not vegan. You are one of my biggest cooking inspirations, along with Ramsay, Child and Bill Kim. I can’t wait for the next one!!
I love your first cookbook, Angela, and would LOVE to be on the team of recipe testers for your second one!
I would love to test your recipes!! I’m excited for the next cookbook. Congrats!!
I am so excited that you’re in the process of developing a new cookbook!!! When I told my husband I was applying to test your recipes, he got super excited and started talking about he hopes I do it so we can eat tons of delicious food. Two fans here!
Angela,
As I new mom just like you I find so much of what you write about relatable,
I am always in the kitchen and have tried almost every recipe in your cook book!
I am so motivated to being fit and healthy for myself and my new little family.
I would love to be a part of your new cookbook by providing feedback!
I am just a regular Mom on maternity leave with a lot of time to be part of your new project.
Here is to hoping that I hear from you soon!

Hi! I’m super excited for this opportunity! I am a nurse and only work 3 days a week, so I have lots of free time to try recipes and make notes! I’d love the opportunity to help you out! :) I’m not a super experienced cook, but I’m always trying recipes from Pinterest and I have a very willing boyfriend to try anything! Thanks!
I can’t wait for your second cookbook. Hope I get to be a part of the process. Your recipes have made the vegan transition so easy. They’re better than dairy-containing recipes!
I love, love your blog and your cookbook! I’m a vegan and bake/cook a lot of your recipes! I applied the other day and hope that I get considered :)
