I am feeling a creative streak this morning and seeing recipes people posted got me thinking.
I know we all post occasional recipes but they are all over the place usually. I have tried several of them and they're really good and I know some of the ones I have posted have been well recieved.
Would anybody be interested in actually consoldiating them all into a recipe book? it was just a thought. I know on places like Blurb.com and Picaboo you can make smaller inexpensive books.
So I was thinking maybe we could all start a thread if people are interested, posting our favorite recipes and then we could create a book that could be purchased individually by anyone just to ahve all the recipes in one spot. I know I notebook everything but sometimes its easier if you're in the kitchen, to grab a cookbook then to keep running back to the comp to read the recipe or keep printing it out.
On Blurb.com I know there is a recipe book template and you acn just post the book link so anyone ahs access to it. No one would make money off of it of course. it would just be like a regular cookbook.
I would be willing to create it if all the recipes were sent to me or posted in a thread-pro bono fo course. Just something fun to do and unite the masses so to speak. Just a thought. let me know what you guys think.
sounds like a great idea i'm in Let me know how I can help
Awesome!
When I make the 'official' thread for recipes, just start submitting whatever recipes you have according to the format guidelines. I will be runnign them all through MS word to make them look the same before we put them into the book.
We need pictures too if you have them. Like when you make one of your creations, just grab the camera and snap a pic. When I worked at the bookstore years ago I found books with full color photos always sold better than oens without pics.
Deal! unfortunately, I don't have any pics of what I've made in the past but I'll try to take pics of future recipes.

Sounds good! Most of us dont photograph our food regularly lol which is why i figure in two months or so is a good 'deadline' because then most of us will probably repeat a few recipes and you can snap pics then. I dont have any pics but I know I am making ym stuffed feta chicken and asparagus this week along with the carbonara so I will definetly take pics.
some other suggestions: salads dressings & sauces Italian
Awesome caroline thanks!

Awesome! This will be great because you get ALL kinds of recipes; eay, more intricate and both veegteriana nd non vegetarian. I have a really good veggie lasanga recipe that I make with Alfredo sauce that is always a winner.

YAY! I am happy this is going over well. Lots of ladies so have to be alot of good recipes out there.
ladies remember, even if its not your original recipe, submit it if you like it/make it often. Just give credit where it is due.
