Is This Idea Totally Mad or could it work ??

[leadhillsonline]

Well if this comes off I know what all my friends and family will be getting next Christmas !

I thought of that.

so are we to put the reciepies on here ? or how is it going to work ?

When we are ready to go I will give you my email addy.Then I can save them all to office or notepad or some such. Then put them all together.
There is no limit to the number of recipes each person can send in.
Kimbo may be limited by the number of alcoholic recipes she knows though.

Hmmmmmmm Herbie
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all pmsl

We need the master chef Kimbo lol

I don't think we need to be Master Chefs.

Maybe a book of quickie meals to cook between listings...since it will be recipes from eBid members

I think it's a great idea......I'm looking for stuff to eat that I can zap in the microwave while I am chatting on this forum

Bit like the sainsbury recipe cards that you pick up and put in a little folder?

Wish I'd thought of that description

Would have saved my poor old brain

you might come to regret that remark, as you could end up going through 100's of recipes to get the ones for the book.... or having VOL I, VOL II ect of the book(s)

on the other hand (and I know it will be more work) if you get that many recipies you could make up 1 book for starters, one for the main course etc

That seems like a good idea. As they are only tied with ribbon it will be easy to add extra pages to the folder you put it in. So your idea about separate books would be ideal

Well folks - I've updated my Fun & Community Social Events on eBids Forum squidoo lens to promote this great idea.

Take a peek http://www.squidoo.com/eBid-forums and see what you think. If I've made a mistake somewhere, also let me know.

Another recipe contributor here. I suspect this will be a bigger project than first thought, which is a good thing.

I did a familiy cookbook 14 years ago, with recipes from relatives who were interested. A couple of them are GREAT cooks and many of us still use the cookbook to make tasty items. Some of the recipes are around 100 years old so the book is also a bit of genealogy. An eBid book will also give a snapshot of the lives of us here.
