New England Newlywed Cookbook Volume 2 - are you interested?
Hello Ladies!
I'm a Boston Nestie - Checking to see if there is interest in the New England Newlywed Cookbook Volume 2. For those of you who were around for Volume 1 - Does anyone have any recommendations/feedback for the next volume of the cookbook? What did you like/dislike/wish had been done? We are planning on another edition for this year's holiday season and want to make it better than ever so we're trying to get an early start. Also, if you have a suggestion for a favorite charity, please let us know! You can either post here or email nestknotcookbook at gmail dot com
If you are interested feel free to send us your recipes and include your first name, your knot/nest name,your wedding date and where you live
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/
Thanks!
Jackie
