While reading the new MJF magazine (I just picked it up at the post office about 1/2 an hour ago and had to take some time to flip through it!), a thought popped into my head. Wouldn't it be fun to create a cookbook comprised of recipes submitted by all of us?
A couple of years ago, I put one together for my family reunion, and it was a huge hit. But, with a larger group, we could have one professionaly done. There's a company located about 45 minutes from me who does a LOT of cookbooks for different groups all over the country, and they offer VERY reasonable prices.
I'd be happy to spearhead this project, but it would be great if we could put together some kind of committee.
What do you all think?

Hi Diane, I hope that you received the earlier e-mail I sent to you requesting your first edition cookbook, if not, I sure hope that this request is not too late ... thank goodness Sunny linked me to this thread! (Thanks Sunny, Alee, and Jen!!  )
I would treasure a copy of that first edition; my e-mail is: Gaudette6@wowway.com
I'd like to contribute to the new cookbook and I'd be happy to help in any way that I can. I'm also going to head over to the Heirloom Mavens ... it sounds like lots of yummy things are going on over there!
Thank you!

Julie - Thank you for taking over the project. Since you were involved with the first cookbook, I'm sure the second one will go much smoother!

I will be organizing this project after talking to Heather. There are a few logistical things we need to take care of first and I am waiting on final approval from the farm. I will let you all know soon where to send the recipes and in what format.

How should we submit our recipes? and to whom? This is going to be fun. I really want a copy of the first one. I'll email you, Diane.

Me too, me too! I would love to contribute some recipes! I love real recipes by real women! Not that I don't have my fair share of Food Network recipes, I just think the real food for real families is best! I am really into tea parties and have a billion recipes for giving teas. Love to share!

I use the first cookbook all the time! It is great, and has become my favorite cookbook! I would like to contribute again, and see a whole new book of recipes, too! MaryJane wrote the introduction, and Diane and Julie did a great job of putting it together, organizing and handling sales. I bet that was a big job!!!!

Well....we should have known!!! This is great...I'm ordering the first one and want to be involved with this second one too! How fun is this? And did you realize that the abbreviation for Arkansas is AR and then if you just add a T it spells...ART!!!!!!
LOL! I know...I am weird and have a very "exotic" sense of humor....I just had some ice cream so I should be okay again in a little while.

Hey guys! I did the artwork for the last cookbook and Daisyfarm did the printing. I would be interested in organizing a second cookbook if there is enough interst.

I don't know how I missed this thread! Yes, I did the first recipe book and I have 14 copies left if anyone would still like one. I would have to get new postal rates, the cost of the book was $15 I think, maybe less but not more...I'll have to see if I still have the invoices.
I'll gladly help anyone that wants to take on a second edition. Julie may take on the artwork again if she's not too busy...she did a fabulous cover and section dividers. Heather (or anyone else that wants to take on the project), you can email me daisyfarm@shaw.ca and I'll tell you how I did it and maybe a few tips to make it easier the second time around.

Hi Heather, I was just thinking this morning what a great idea a cookbook would be...maybe with some "farm" pictures in it as well. I'd love to contribute and help out if needed!

Annika's posted a wonderful soup recipe already that I'm going to make for supper (so you know it's easy if I'm making it!). As soon as I find my spinach pesto recipe I'll put it on the thread. Keep watching - the mavens tend to go like wildfire at times!
Come join us.....................

Heather, it's Karen again. My time lately has been monopolized by the Heirloom Mavens so I'm just getting to check back in now. We've just started a recipe thread in the MJ's Heirloom Mavens henhouse. (It's brand spanking new - as in less than an hour old.) We're going to post recipes that are healthy, organic, heirloom (as in veggies, fruits, etc. and/or handed down through generations). Maybe they could be incorporated into the cookbook, along with tips to eat healthier.
What do you think?
God bless -
