New England Newlywed Cookbook Volume 2
Hello Ladies!
When I posted this back in April there was little interest in the New England Newlywed Cookbook Volume 2. The committee decided to wait before starting to compile recipes for volume 2. The time has come to start planning another edition for this year's holiday season and we want to make it better than ever but we need your help. Please submit your recipes. You can email your recipe to nestknotcookbook at gmail dot com - please include your first name, your nest/knot name, your wedding date, where you live and a suggestion for a favorite charity. The deadline to submit recipes is Oct. 1, 2007.
For those of you who weren't around for volume one here's the history:
It all began with an "attempted" recipe swap on the Boston Nest Board. One person suggested posting your favorite recipe. Another person thought it would be a great idea to compile them in our own little cookbook. A third person thought it would be a great idea to sell them and raise money for charity. Before we knew it, the idea of a charity cookbook had spread beyond the Boston board to other local New England boards and everyone was more than excited about the idea. So now here we are with over 250 recipes collected from women in the six New England states and beyond.
Anyone who submitted a recipe was encouraged to also submit the names of local and national charities that we could share our profits with. Everyone voted and the winners were the American Cancer Society and the Northeast Animal Shelter. We sold just about 450 cookbooks and have raised a little over $2,500! That's $1,250 to each charity. We hope you enjoy our collection of recipes. Some have been passed down from great-grandmothers; some were invented by the very women who submitted them. It's quite a collection. From traditional standbys like New England Clam Chowder and Yankee Pot Roast, to gourmet dishes like Stuffed Pork Loin and Pumpkin White Chocolate Cheesecake. We're sure there is something in here for everyone's taste and everyone's cooking skill level.
Here is the website that was setup with information about the cookbook. The page hasn't been updated yet. There is a different group of ladies running it this time but the webpage will stay the same http://nestknotcookbook.googlepages.com
(it will be updated soon)
I'm on the Boston Board over on the Nest if you have any questions feel free to page me.
Thanks!
Jackie
