Cohousing-L Mailing List: Food for CoHo

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

Joani,

Yes!!  I guess this would even surpass my hope in trying this thread  
to see what results.

Have a CoHO Food site on line is a perfect idea.  And yes to more  
than one recipe per community.  Luk sent a link to a site with  
perhaps a dozen mostly international meals [thanked off-list, thanks  
again, Luk.]

thanks for getting this  going!

Subject: [C-L]_ Food for Cohousing Common Meals

The Cohousing Association would love to publish an Online Common Meal
Cookbook and make it available via our website.  It could have even
more than one recipe per community, and also should include a list of
cooking-for-a-crowd cookbooks of which there are many.  There are
literally zillions of recipes on the web, that we can link to, but I
think that we should only "admit" recipes that have been tried at
least once in a cohousing community--or forming/developing  group
that's had some shared meals.

Editing such a cookbook is not a small task, and  we would welcome  a
volunteer to come forward to tackle it.  In the meantime, I'm  going
to ask the powers that be if we can set up a cohousing.org email
address to which recipes might be sent  (What do you say, powers that
be? I know a couple of you read this listserve.) Then when an angel
cookbook editor appears, we can forward the recipes to him or her.
It'd be really cool if there would be a way for folks to add reviews,
variations, comments to each recipe (sort of like book reviews on
Amazon), don'tcha think?  And then perhaps each e-magazine could
feature a link to a Common Meal Recipe Of the Month
