Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: anyone collecting common meal recipes?

[Sophie Rubin (yophiest]

Here is a template recipe card
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h21lkuJKQDDNJaq9stah6qvmiIPxfuYmp875u-uyrW8/edit?usp=sharing>
I created and added to the folder.

If copied and used, it should also allow me to create a spreadsheet INDEX
of all the recipes so they can be sorted by meal/course/diet-friendliness
based on the boxes that are checked at the bottom of the recipe card.

WORKFLOW (hope this works!):
1. Copy the template to your own drive
2. Fill out the card with a recipe
3. Set permissions so that anyone with the link CAN EDIT
4. Share a link back to the Recipes for Group Cooking

If I locked the sheet properly, even with the *edit* setting on, *only the
owner *will be able to modify the original recipe, but *anyone* can enter
desired servings in cell O6 to customize the recipe size for themself/their
group. Anyone could also create a copy of that recipe to their own google
drive in order to further customize the recipe (creating a copy makes you
the owner, and then you can edit anything in the sheet).

Please reach out to me if you would like to contribute but need more help!
I think it would be amazing to get a recipe collection together. I will try
to add a few myself this coming week.
