Calling all forumites!!! Input wanted for our villa cookbook
Posted: Sat Feb 24, 2007 11:56 am
Okay, all this recipe sharing has gotten me off my %*! and into high gear!! 
I have been working on a recipe/cook book for the islands for a couple of years. The book will be for villa/condo vacationing, along with a section on bareboating. A non-cooking (or take-out) section is important because not all of us cook at the villa. I've been dragging my feet posting something on the forum, but I think it's time.
I am planning to have it ready the first of next year. I have 2 trips planned to STJ this year and have some things on island to final up. So this gives us plenty of time to collect your ideas and recipes. Here are the categories thus far:
Appetizers
Beverages (Cold, Hot, Non-Alcoholic version incl w/recipe)
Breakfast
Lunch
Entrees (Meat, Seafood, Vegetarian)
Accompaniments
Miscellaneous
Deserts
For a Crowd
Pack a Picinic
Take-Out Meals
Menu Suggestions (Breakfast, Lunch, Entrees)
Bareboating
CONTRIBUTORS:
SOURCES: (incl. where to buy specialty items, and must bring from home items)
So here's what you can do:
Email me direct: mds9@cox.net Subject Reference is RECIPE.
Send me ANY ideas, recipes, notes, suggestions, whatever!!
Give me your name & email address so I can be in touch with you.
Pictures are appreciated. Also if you have a special or funny story that can go with the recipe please include it.
We are trying to keep the recipes simple (not a lot of ingredients) and "tropical", but we'll take any of your ideas.
All recipes should have been tested by you, and hopefully are a "villa favorite".
Our plan is to distribute the book by mid 08'. If we do, ALL contributors will get freebies! If we don't publish I'll be asking for donations in the form of copy paper & postage!!
Again, we're in the early stages so all your input now is most appreciated!!
This will be fun, oh & BillinVa, will Sandie share her salad dressing recipe????
