We plan to publish a Rachel Alert Network cookbook in June 2004. All proceeds from the cookbooks will go to sponsor RAN events such as M.U.S.T self-defense and awareness classes and to help families of missing persons. If you would like to submit a recipe for the cookbook, please e-mail the recipe to: cookbook@rachelalert.org The deadline for submissions is May 31, 2004. We plan to have around 500 recipes or mor ein the cookbook. Please include the ingredients, directions, your name, and your state. An optional message field is also available to include any messages to Rachel, our family, or information of other missing persons. To give everyone a chance to send a recipe, we are limiting submissions to a maximum of five recipes per person. It would really help us if you submit recipes using the following format. Up to 5 recipes may be submitted per person. The recipes can be combined into one e-mail if you like. Your name and state (or country) Recipe name Ingredients and Quantity of Each Directions Servings Optional message or notes about recipe Please visit Rachel's Message Board for updates.

Thanks RC... C'mon FFJers, get thse fingers flying in an email to RC and get all the family secret recipes in one place so we can all share and donate to a worthy cause at the same time!
Betcha it requires more than butter, marshmallows, a box of Snap, Crackle, Pop, and greasing a cookie sheet. You sure you can handle it?
testing the recipes Well, J_R, if you like "old" things as the quote you use suggests, stay tuned for some recipes that are from 50 to 100 years old that got sent in to the cookbook...BTW, when the books are ready, will someone please post it around here, some of us LOVE to cook...and bake...
JustChillun, I look forward to your recipes! Thanks for sending them in. I know RC appreciates your support. Don't worry about the cookbooks being posted - they will be.
Recipes I just sent in our family recipe for Irish Soda Bread. Reading that list of recipes up there is making me hungry. All I need is a personal chef, like Oprah has, to cook them all. Get after Wilton to put up some of his yummy dessert recipes he has shared with us in the past.
Hey Lurker, did you send in a recipe for Irish Stew to go with the bread? Oh Wilton...where are you? RC's stated in his journal that the count has about doubled but that puts him at the 20% mark so Y'All keep those recipe's coming! Send them to: cookbook@rachelalert.org
Updates The list of recipes submitted has been updated and the limit per person has been removed. We still need at least 200 more recipes. Please submit your own and spread the word. http://www.websitetoolbox.com/tool/post?id=178&action=vpost&username=rcooke&forum=7
We are reaching our goal! We are almost at 400 recipes which is our goal. Thank you everyone who submitted their recipe(s)! We hope to have the cookbook for sale in July. It still needs to be proofed and sent for publication.
Great job RC! I am glad you met your expectations, and I am sure the book promises to be the "best of the best".
The Cook Book Looking forward to getting this cookbook. I need a new one. I have given so many of mine away to my cooking-impaired children.
