SoWal Cookbook

[DD]

Ok. Toots and I have talked about this in the past. I think it's time to REALLY do it. A SoWal cookbook. I am willing to compile it and publish it in some format. Maybe we could have it done by Christmas? So, send me your favorites, your heirloom recipes (with stories), your tips & techniques, and your suggestions for a TITLE. Fire away.

p.s.--i'm really bored--i need a project.

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. ;-)

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.
