Entrecard Cookbook BLOG -  with links to all blogs who participate in the project.  Updates at the blog will be made as the project progresses.

A BIG thank you goes out to è¿éspi20 for the shiny new banner!

All Entrecard Members are invited to participate in the creation of the Entrecard Cookbook (not just recipes!) ebook project.

Email for submissions: thedietpulpit at aol dot com
Subject line: Entrecard Cookbook Submission
(include all relevant information, including how you want your name to appear)

The plan to move ahead with creating the first ever Entrecard Cookbook (not just recipes)  is a GO! Details will be hammered out over the next few weeks.

I also hope to get a “button” made to promote the project so others can display it if they want to. For now if you wish to link to the info. page you can use a Text Link:

ENTRECARD COOKBOOK PROJECT
(all welcome to contribute)

So put on your thinking caps! And send in those recipes (or blogging tips or entrecard tips or short humor piece or comic).

Brief Summary of the Project and Plans so far:

To be included: recipes, and some blogging tips or entrecard tips, and humor (also comics) - but mostly recipes. This way even noncooks can contribute. It will also add a nice variety and make it more interesting. Depending on the amount of submissions - humor and comics may be limited to cooking or blogging or Entrecard related, there will definitely be a preference for these, but others may also be included.

Submissions:
All work must be original and owned by the person submitting it, can include a photo of recipe. Can include a brief history or story about the recipe or where it came from (for example “a family favorite inherited from a great great great grandmother”; or “I was drunk and tossed stuff in a pot and it tasted good”).

Blogging\Entrecard Tips or Humor or Comic submissions should be brief.

For each submission - 125×125 Entrecard graphic and link with a brief description for each one that is accepted will be included and post at the Entrecard Cookbook Blog.

There is no guarantee your submission will be accepted. Decisions are final. Submissions that are accepted, may be edited.

No more then 3 submissions per person.

Possible Recipe Categories depending on submissions:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Beverages, Appetizers and Soups, Deserts, Healthy (low fat or low calorie, etc), Holiday Specials

The Project Staff:
I plan on inviting 2 or 3 Entrecard members to help out - if they accept I’ll let everyone know.

Format: Ebook

Deadline for Submissions: tentative date - Aug 31, 2008 (this may change!) for the first round, and Oct. 1 for the second round.

Publication - I am hoping the project will be done and available by Thanksgiving (just in time for the holidays).

Details for how it will be distributed will be worked out closer to the completion of the project. Here are the options I am thinking of:

It would be a free download from Entrecard site (perhaps the shop)
OR
It could be offered for a small price as way to raise funds for a charity (i.e. Feed the Hungry).

If it isn’t possible to have it offered from the Entrecard site, then I’ll figure out how to offer it from here (free of course) and any one else’s blog who contributed to the collection could also offer it as a free download.
