This is the sister swap to my Autumn Inspired Cookbook swap. I had a request from a participant to make one for vegetarians, so this is for all you veg' heads out there! Also, there is still time to sign up for the regular Autumn inspired cookbook swap so check it out as well. Here is the link. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/4565 I don't know about you guys, but for me autumn is always so much more than changing leaves and a crisp chill in the air. It's the smell of homemade bread, the warmth of the stove, and for some reason, the faint taste of cinnamon and clove seems to ride the very wind. What does the change in weather bring to your kitchen? I want to know, so let's swap. The idea of this swap is to hand make a cookbook of your favorite "Autumn Inspired" recipes for your partner. Food and meals that bring a warmth to the belly and the soul. (can you tell cooking is kind of spiritual for me? laughs) The cookbook can be any size you want, and put together in anyway you feel inspired to. Type or handwrite recipes, add pictures of the food, or add autumn embellishments. As for specific guidlines, your cook book should contain recipes for: 3 soups (i.e. broth based, cream based, chili's, stews... those sorts of things) 3 breads (this could be bread, rolls, muffins, pancakes, biscuits.... you get the idea) 2 main courses 2 beverages (your favorite spiced cider recipe? or even something more interesting) 3 deserts (no explanation needed) 1 surprise recipe of your choice. It can be any kind of recipe you want to throw in. Due to the nature of this swap, you will have to have a minimum of a 4.7 rating and no more than 1 no send. I don't want to have any dissapointed swappers. This swap is international. If you get an international partner, make sure to convert your recipes to the proper measurements, or include a conversion chart in the back of the cookbook. This swap is more about sharing YOUR favorite recipes with your partner, but if you would like to make it more special, you can research your swap partner's tastes and find recipes for them. Let's aim for hearts here, people and make some beautiful and yummy cookbooks. I'm giving a lot of time between the sign up date and send date so that you have plenty of time to do a good job. |
