The project begins ...

All of your edits must be in by Oct 16!
If you don't update your recipes with the info needed, I will be sending you your recipes via email, calling and generally harassing you until I get the info. :) Please save me the trouble and follow the instructions below.

[Hereafter, “comment” means clicking on the comment link for a recipe and typing in the requested info. Always include your name at end of your comments.]


ORIGINAL RECIPE SUBMITTERS, I need you to “comment” with ...

1) Any corrections or additions to the title, ingredients, measurements and instructions.

2) The yield of the recipe (if it is not already included)

3) Origin of the recipe, when possible — a family member or friend (full name—first, maiden and married), the name of the magazine or cookbook you got it from, etc.

4) Your comments and memories about the recipe — your grandmother fixed it every Christmas, your friend served it at a shower and it's become a hit ever since, you love the contrast between the flavors, whatever! We're looking for depth and descriptions here, not super-simple one-liners. It's these special notes that will make this cookbook a family treasure and not simply a collection of black and white recipes. If there's already a note on a recipe, don't be afraid to add more detail, e.g. “Served at Pam's wedding,” or “We serve this at our 4th of July gatherings,” etc.

TO FIND YOUR RECIPES, TYPE YOUR FIRST NAME INTO THE SEARCH SLOT AT TOP LEFT.


EVERYONE ELSE ...
Even if you did not submit a particular recipe, we’d still like your comments or memories, if you’ve got ’em! Maybe you change/add an ingredient when you fix it? Or you’ve tried a different preparation? Or you tried to freeze it and it didn’t work out? We want it all! ... We’ll use some of these in the cookbook and they’ll all be fun to read on the blog.
