Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Food for Cohousing Common Meals

Common meals are a real passion for me, anything to do with them.   

And cooking and writing are two other loves.  This project sounds fun  

and the timing is right.    WARNING:  computers are not my strong  

point so I may need some help figuring out how to make this work  

webwise.   I will keep you posted as to when, where and how to send  

in those menus and recipes.

Any computer wizards out there that can point me in the right  

direction?  Oh, and did I mention I work on a Mac?

Do I get the job? Joani? Other powers that be?

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
