If we all contributed, we are talking about volumes here!! I would like a book with just recipes- with interesting sections, not the familiar appetizers, salads, etc, etc, but things like:

"One Bowl Wonders (When Time is Limited)"

"Dishes to Die For (Delectable Delicacies)"

Or maybe not... it makes sense in my head, but now I can't think of good examples... sorry....never mind....

You're right Shimmer. For an "all-recipe" book, organising the Recipe Forum is all you need to do.

No, this book should be original, special, and definitely different. It should reflect the character of Cheftalk, but it must also be useful.

Maybe we should lay down some submission criteria? For example:

- New concepts that are original to the author
- Favourite recipes of the chef
- What's the next 'sensible' trend? A panel of opinions..
- The most useful concept/techniques/recipes that you've learned in your food industry career (or other career)

I know I came late to this discussion, but it looks like it's just getting off the ground. I'd like to volunteer some of my time too. I think this is a great idea, and might even morph into something charitable--like proceeds going to budding chefs; a ChefTalk.com scholarship of sorts.

I have much experience in the kitchens, but am currently heading toward a new career in Food Studies--with emphasis on world religions, cultures, ethics. I would be willing to research the origin of any recipe, ktichen, restaurant, whatever this book decides it wants to be about.


Also, Shimmer, is this the sort of concept you had in mind?

One-Pot Cakes


Take care all,

and keep up the momentum.............

I think this is a great idea, we could actually use it to help raise money for a chartity. I would have to find a publisher plus we would need some testers to test all of the recipes. It would be a big project I would imagine.

Great idea.
