Fundraising Cookbook!
After the recent success of our fundraising venture for our charity - "Kids for Cambodia Charitable Trust" we have decided on our next venture and that is the publishing of a cookbook.
We have seen with our fundraising how much can be achieved with community support for the children of Cambodia and how we can further their needs for a good education.
Our vision for this project is to have a book with recipes that are family favourites, perhaps something you enjoyed from childhood and reminds you of home, or of special friends, recipes that are simple yet stylish with a fresh twist and would be at home served to family or when entertaining.
We are hoping to achieve with this book a feeling of home, a warmth and a reminder of perhaps where you learnt to cook - for me it was with my mum and grandmother - although Friday nights were always cooking fish with my dad and always served with mashed potato and homemade coleslaw!
These cookbooks of tried and true family favorite recipes are always a success, and as a passionate cook and the owner of more recipe books than I care to admit to they are ones that are turned to time and time again.
If you would like to share your favourite recipes for consideration for our cookbook we would love to have them. Final submission date has been adjusted to NOVEMBER 30TH 2011 and you may submit as many recipes as you wish, just as long as they are all recipes you have made many times, work and you love.
What we would like you to do:
1: send me via email - green33@xtra.co.nz your recipe, along with a short paragraph about the recipe, perhaps where it came from, if it reminds you of a childhood memory any notes that you think are suitable, or if it is a new favourite!
2: The heading title (from below) that you see it placed into
3: Name of the recipe, serving size if applicable, plus all steps, cooking times etc.
Your name will be credited to the recipe - so a great way to hand down your recipe to your children
Recipes will be collated under these formats: (final chapters will depend on recipes submitted):
Breakfast dishes
Lunch/light dishes
Nibbles
Mains
Vegetable, sides, and salads
Desserts
Celebrations - this can mean birthdays, weddings, christmas, easter, anytime!
Baking
Pantry Basics - sauces, preserves, dressings etc - in fact if it doesn't come under the other headings!
I am also hoping to have a special chapter filled with recipes from well known chefs/resturants - including their tips and tricks!
Recipes will be chosen on ease of making, appeal, style, point of difference.
If your recipe/s are included in our book you will receive a 20% discount on the purchase price of the book. We are aiming for a pre-2012 Christmas release - so a fantastic gift to give to family and friends.
We hope you will join with us and support in the making of this fundraising cookbook venture, and please feel free to send this link onto your friends and family who may wish to share and see their recipe in print - at the same time supporting our Charity - in fact the more people you send this on to and tell about it the greater variation in recipes we will have to put into the book - lets all make this book a huge success!
