MNA Region 5 cookbook in the works

MNA Region 5 is in the beginning stages of planning a member-generated cookbook. Proceeds from sales will benefit The Greater Boston Food Bank. Our goal is to have printed cookbooks ready for purchase next fall, at the 2011 MNA Convention. These fundraising cookbooks will be great additions to your own cooking library and great items for holiday gift giving.

Now is the time of year that we are reaching for our favorite recipes and turning on our ovens and crockpots more. As you prepare family meals, sweet treats and dishes for the holidays, please keep in mind that we would love to have your best recipes—those that everyone always wants to copy.

All submissions must be sent electronically (via e-mail to region5@mnarn.org). Here’s what we need:

  • Your name
  • Your bargaining unit
  • Recipe title
  • Category (select one from below):
      Appetizers & Beverages
      Vegetables & Side Dishes
      Breads & Rolls
      Cookies & Candy
      Soups & Salads
      Main Dishes
      Desserts
      This & That
  • List of ingredients needed (in order of use)
  • Written directions in paragraph form, not in steps

Each Region 5 member may submit a maximum of five recipes. We would like to get as many contributors as we can to have a good mix of recipes. Stay tuned for more details about what the bargaining unit with the most submissions will win. In the meantime, get your recipe(s) to us to be in our one-of-a-kind cookbook that will benefit a good cause.
