Cookbook Fundraiser for Hope Builders – Calling all Cooks!

St. Matthew’s is preparing a taste-tempting custom cookbook featuring favorite recipes from our parish and friends.  These cookbooks will be professionally published and contain special pages of interest including helpful cooking hints, dedications, special reference, children’s favorite craft recipes, and much more.  This cookbook is sure to be treasured for years to come.
 
As a primary fundraiser for our Hope Builders, we would love for our cookbook to be a huge success; your recipes can help make that happen!  If you have a favorite recipe that you would like to share with the world, please submit it!  In fact, please submit as many as you’d like; there is no limit to the number of entries.  Just a word of caution, however; a recipe can only be published once (variations are ok), so to ensure you’ll be published, it’s better to submit one-of-a-kind, passed down from generation-to-generation recipes than to submit everyone’s all-time favorite “public” recipe!  This cookbook will not only be a wonderful collection of favorite recipes, but also a memorable keepsake of those people who have enriched your life.  And who wouldn’t be proud to see their name, or their child’s name, in print!  These cookbooks definitely become a cherished keepsake and make great gifts to give.
 
Because the publisher requires a specific format for our recipes, attached is the recipe template which must be used when submitting your recipe.  (NOTE:  If you are going to type the recipe yourself, or (crisply) photocopy a hand-written recipe, please make sure that all the required elements are outlined on your recipe, i.e., clearly indicate the category, title, etc.)  Before submitting your recipes for inclusion in our cookbook, please make sure it is clearly explained because what you send in is what will be typed (barring any changes in standardization, abbreviation, grammatical or spelling errors).
 
So let’s get cooking!  By January 25, 2012, please electronically submit your recipes to Maryann Hoolahan @ hoolahan5nj@yahoo.com.  If you prefer, you may also drop off your recipe in the “RECIPE DROP BOX” located in the gathering space.  Feel free to contact Maryann with any questions you may have.  Bon Appétit!
