Give me a cookbook for my birthday!
My favorite cookbooks have always been community cookbooks, like from churches, schools, families, etc. There is such uniqueness to them, the recipes are always eclectic and the feel is so much different than your standard kitchen cookbooks.
This morning I woke up with the single thought of I want my own community cookbook! I want recipes from my friends and family and I want to see what I’d get in the end from that. I’ve gotten some recipes from some of you over the last few years, and I’ll probably use some of those, but I really want to make a book worth with all the quirks, love, and uniqueness of those I know.
I really want to make (at least for myself) a personal cookbook. I want recipes from friends and family. I'm not sure of any title right now; I just know the art of a good community style cookbook seems like a dying art form. I'd love to be able to give each participant a copy too. Maybe that'll be Christmas presents, I don't really know just yet.
Anyway, I'm looking for three types of recipes from everyone...
1. Kid friendly ones; ones the kids can work on themselves and are things kids are willing to eat, while still being (relatively) healthy choices.
2. Main dishes, side dishes, soups... Your basic recipes that are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
3. Desserts - Sweets, breads, cakes, cookies, puddings, no bakes, etc. This part of the book might be called carb-fest.
If you have stories to go along with them I'd REALLY love to have that too! Tell me when something is someone’s favorite or a funny story from a time you served or made it, etc.
You can e-mail them to me (along with your current address so I can give you a copy later) at CWilson at getright dot org
If you have photos of when you've made it please send those as an attachment too. My birthday is the deadline for when it's included in the cookbook, so be sure to get back to me before August 23. That's a day shy of three months; I think that's a good amount of time.
Have fun and lets get cooking!
