Hello again! I am writing this post because I am looking for some help from my family and friends. For some years now I have contemplated putting together a cookbook of favorite recipes from people I know. I am contacting you asking for your consideration in offering a favorite recipe. Here are a few things I’m doing with this:
1. In the form provided you will be asked to tell me why this recipe is important to you. Please be as thorough as you can. I will try to get as much of that information in the book as possible (if your recipe is chosen).
2. I will be cooking all of the recipes provided, so the instructions you give need to be really, really clear and thorough.
3. Part of this project is a photography challenge for me as well. I will take pictures of the food preparation and serving to be included in the book.
4. There is also a place in the form asking if you would like to participate in a food party where several dishes are prepared and tried. Again, lots of pictures to be taken with the hopes of having a few good ones for the book. Maybe even a YouTube video of the event.
When I am done, I will use www.blurb.com (or a comparable website) to create the book and print hard cover copies. They will be available to those who participate at cost. I am not trying to make a profit here. I’m just having some fun. I’ll be giving some away as Christmas presents this year (oops, there was a spoiler!)
I am looking for recipes from family, friends, DEN members, Facebook and Twitter followers, readers of this blog and more. I would ask that you NOT provide more than 3, but feel free to give me 1, 2 or 3, or even none. I won’t be offended. LOL
Here is the link for the form:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dDJYbGZaaXgxUWhOTUN4ZVp4OFFNUlE6MA
Simply go there and fill it out. Items with a red asterisk are required fields.
Please don’t feel rushed. This project will take several months. I may post this note again later, even if you have participated already.
I will be posting progress on this blog. I am also sending this invitation out to my Twitter and Facebook friends and through some emails, so some of you will see this request several times.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at any time.
Thanks in advance!
Tim
