SoWal Cookbook

OOPS! Didn't I promise to help get this started last January?

As a member of our junior league cookbook commitee, each recipe was prepped, and we had the group taste test it to get an accurate idea of prep time, cooking time, and the quality of the recipe. How will we do this since we don't all live in the same geographic area? Or do we just trust the person submitting the recipe?

Here's our recipe collection form:

Wow, BR! You are prepared!!! Let me mull this over for an hour. I think it might be best just to trust the person submitting the recipe (with a disclaimer). Otherwise, you and I would gain back any weight we've lost and then some!

great idea DD. I was hoping to find a way to compile them all online, on the forum or something. but maybe a published version would work as well, or better if people can just order it right on line, etc. I suggest we all think of titles, submit possible ones to you, you narrow them down and we can vote on it at a later date.

we need an artist to come up with the cover art.

I've thought a lot about this. I thought at first online too, but I find that I always pull out my old faithful cookbooks and use the same tried and true recipes from those cookbooks over and over again. I like the idea of voting on a title.
I think we have a few artists on here that could contribute to the cause. ;-)

You girls get out your best recipes! Kitty, I know you have many, but send a few of your favorites.

yes we do!

we also have an incredible inventory of incredible recipes submitted over the last several years in the food/dining forum (or whatever forum it is these days). remember all the recipes submitted during holidays? wow.

Absolutely, I remember! I plan on printing them all out.

I'm thinking we also know a pretty decent photographer that could maybe photograph some of the dishes.

Oh Oh Oh can I help?

Absolutely!!

Looks like BR's got a pretty good handle on how to start. I'm best at collecting, typing, testing (if necessary--see above). Let's get a cookbook committee going. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a monumental task--but well worth it. Hail, who knows, we could go nationwide!

You ought to think about approaching some SoWal restaurants to see they would be willing to submit recipes. It would be great to have those in there, too.

I'm on board if that's okay.

Great idea! I had actually thought about it at one time, but it sorta slipped away, like so many things these days.

I'm on board if that's okay.

An absolute must. Do you think we really should try to test all the recipes?

count me in : )

DD I would love to help!!! Just let me know what I can do....

We could sell them in local businesses and then donate the profits to a local charity.....

Great Idea! I'll send some recipes -- as long as I figure out what recipes I didn't get from someone else on Sowal!

I hope it is heavy on beach munchie fare. Like things to take with you at sunset. Or seafood dishes. Or drinks!

This is a fantastic idea! I'm willing to help but don't know what I could contribute besides a few recipes & my typing skills. And I wouldn't have any free time to spare until mid-July.

IBD--love the charity idea! I was just hoping we could sell them for enough to pay for themselves, but this could absolutely go to the next level.
I'm excited that you're all excited about it. BR has some knowledge of this whole process. I see it as being a board wide project--whether it's typing, editing or just submitting a recipe. When we get a little more organized, I will post more specific requests about what we need.

we can get 'em in sundog books maybe... who wouldn't want local homegrown sowal recipes by sowal lovers from all over?

Sounds like a winner to me. Do you want the recipes emailed to you? That would be my suggestion, if not then you will have your cookbook right here on view, and then why buy it.

Yes, please e-mail.
I think I will set up a new e-mail just for recipes. I will get back to you with an address.

are you sure you're ready for this dd?
