It's been 2 years since The Six O'Clock Scramble was released, and I'm starting to think about the next cookbook, which probably wouldn't come out until 2010. I have so many fabulous new family recipes that I've developed since the last cookbook went to print, and I want to share them! The publisher, St. Martin's Press, says they do want to publish another Scramble cookbook, but I need your help. Keeping in mind that my specialty is easy, healthy dinners, is there a theme you would like to see? What about:
Earth-friendly meals? International Flavors? Meatless recipes? Meals and Menus for Casual Entertaining? One-Pot Meals?
Let me know if you have any ideas or if any of these sound perfect to you. Thanks for your help.

The hardest meal for me is healthy packed lunches that don't require a microwave. This topic won't fill a cookbook, but a chapter would be most welcome.
Seasonal produce. I am in Minnesota, so our growing season is short -- but I'd still like to see more foods at the right time of year. :)
How about simple meals for a single man? Recipes for 1 or 2 people, the sometimes entertaining in the home with wine or dinner gatherings. Okay, so that's a cookbook *I* should write...lol
Really, the casual entertaining idea appeals to me. From finger foods and simple little dinners, to pot lucks or a full blown dinner party.
I love the idea of one pot meals, especially for very busy days. There is nothing better than knowing you can fix on thing and your family will have a healthy, well-rounded meal.
Meatless, one-pot, and casual entertaining all sound good. Sorry I can't be much help.
Specifically, I would love to see your recipe for chicken corn chili and I would love to read a collection of your columns - it would be like sharing your Scramble secrets.
seasonal ingredients. Also have trouble with packing good cold lunches...
Earth-friendly meals! I love that you even considered that as an option (and the first one, no less). I like the suggestions for seasonal meals that take advantage of local produce. That alone would be a big boost for the earth-friendly idea. The book could be divided into four sections by season, maybe? I think the key is making it seem easy and tasty to buy seasonally, so readers don't feel compromised by what is (or is not!) available.
