Hi Trish,<br><br>Happy New Year. Hope you're well. Pretty cool about your move to Chatt. I'm sure SVI will miss you, but sure you'll be around there still as well.<br><br>I finally have a recipe to share. Will work on getting it down and off to you in the next day or so. I check this email infrequently, and just saw this, but am grateful for the reminder if it is not too late.<br>
<br>Peace,<br>Jeff<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 10:34 AM, christopher gilligan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@chrisgilligan.net">chris@chrisgilligan.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div style=""><span style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-size: 16px;">Hello friends, neighbors, and supporters of SVI! <br><br><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I recently sent out an e-mail about working on a cookbook by all of you, to benefit SVI's general fund. I have gotten some great response. THANK YOU so much to those who have contributed so far! The response has been so favorable that I wanted to offer more opportunity <span style="background-color: transparent;"></span>for involvement and an even more awesome list of recipes, tips, and to draw on the great talent that has crossed our paths over the years- I can't rush it. So in the true fashion of the Slow Food movement which this cookbook is inspired by, it is going to be a slow publishing movement as well. Its going to be worth it! Trust me! As good food sometimes takes time, a good cookbook might take a little more too. And now... this gives more of you a chance to get involved! <br>
<br>I have found one publisher I really like, but I'm not closing my eyes and ears to any others just yet. The publisher Morris Press works with non profits on fundraising cookbooks. Which means it would be pretty basic with a laminated cover and plastic ring binding. This will save us money (all of us- keeping the cost of each book between 7.50-10.00) and help us with the fundraiser, but might not be the most eco-conscious that I can find, so I'll work on that. I wouldn't mind having help with that if anyone wants to pitch in on finding a publisher. (Another positive thing about this cookbook is that I can fit way more information in it for way less cost than doing it myself. So don't worry if its a recipe that has lots of steps or only 2 steps! It could all work.) <br>
<br>I'm also going to start testing the recipes. My goal is 150 recipes. This means it might take me a little longer to work everything out. If it's a spring/summer recipe I can't get things for right now, I can grill you more on the details of the recipe and trust your kitchen tested recipes. :) <br>
<br>Thank you for all your help and patience! Here is what we are looking for: <br><br>NAME of person submitting it<br><br>POSITION at SVI - like if you were ever an intern or if you're a board member - this is optional.<br>
<br>TITLE of recipe - If it's adapted or adopted from somewhere else, cite it and let us know which it is. Adapted means there are significant changes to original, and I believe adopted means you're taking much of the original recipe with small changes to it.<br>
<br>SEASON - What season would you typically prepare this in? And if it's all year round, indicate that as well.<br><br>INGREDIENTS - AMOUNTS are HELPFUL. If you are like me, you throw in a little of this and that, and maybe your recipes tend to look like that. Amounts help for ratios of ingrediants and for someone who has never seen the dish before, this really helps. You can guestimate and I can try and make it (in which case, I will measure and adjust the recipe), or it can give you a chance to make something of your own and check how much you put in. If it really is to taste, that's great too, and we can explain that. A lot of cooking seasonally, and sustainably, teaches flexibility and fusion cooking so its ok if your not a measurer. <br>
<br>METHOD - The more detail, the better. If I can't follow it, I'll let you know and we can fill in any gaps. But honestly, so far everyone has been awesome about this part of the recipe! Do your best, and we have time to edit now. <br>
<br>Any extra info - i.e. if you think this is good for canning, freezing, or is a make ahead dish, that's great info. If it can have substitutions at different times of the year, that's great too! Adjustments for vegans, diabetics, kids activity, etc. is great information too! <br>
<br>The new deadline is now in February so we can print in spring to sell in the spring - around Mother's Day/ Beltane / Food For Life / farmer's markets and CSA season start up, etc.<br><br>I'll keep everyone updated. If you want to join me in this adventure, please let me know! Submit your recipes </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">to me </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">(for now - I might soon post where you can submit to the publisher directly online) at: <a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:trishwoolbright@yahoo.com" target="_blank">trishwoolbright@yahoo.com</a> <br>
<br>THANK YOU for your time and energy on this! Hopefully we can learn from each other and educate even more people on good, local, eco-conscious food and how good it can taste! <br><br>Sincerely, <br>Trish Woolbright</span></span></div>
