If this gets off the ground, I can volunteer one of my mystery pasta dishes as an addition to this cookbook...

And for sure I can volunteer something HOT!!!!
Like magic salsa

Please count me in. I have several recipes that I put together after sampling dishes on mileage runs. Thanks.

I'm in
either for no-fail pie crust,
baked ziti,
or fruit crisp....

Maybe I can write a chapter on the new United 'streamlined' meals.

The chapter should only take up a page or two.

Wow, when I was thinking of this idea, I didn't think who would be the mastermind behind the organization! Would contributors donate their recipes? Would Randy actually put it in the store? Proceeds to go where? Hehe, as if it's a big money making idea. It could be an *annual* cookbook, since there are so many members. If someone's recipe was er...not so tasty, would they be offended that it was turned down? So many questions, so many ideas, and even recipes! Anyone feel free to send me some recipes! It would be nice to see a project taking form.

I am typing this from a Kinko's in Tampa, another secret getaway.

Hi Ling,

In real life, I own a cookware store; hence, I belong to a number of food, bakers', etc. organizations. One of them, the Bakers' Dozen just put together a collective cookbook of this nature(the main difference being that most of the contributors are professional chefs and most of the testers, food service professionals) I know the basic set-up involved a non-profit corp. to run the thing. However, these people already had access to agents, publishers, etc. I can ask for more information, if and when, this gets serious.

Never thought I'd be posting cooking tips... but here's a very simple recipe I remember from Jr. High home ec. It works if you're in an extended stay hotel and want easy homemade baked goods:

Peanut Butter Cookies

1 c. peanut butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg

Mix. Bake. Eat.

Not gourmet, but simple, classic, and easy to remember. You can flatten them with a fork before baking for variety.

I LOVE to cook. Count me in, I'de be happy to contribute a couple of yummy recipes.

I will contribute my recipe for Tom Yum (Thai hot and sour soup). It's easy and waaaaay tasty!

This can be added under the section for people that set off smoke alarms if they try to cook with anything but a microwave ... yes, like me ...

21ST CENTURY SALSA

1 green jalapeno pepper
1 yellow jalapeno pepper
1 lrg can of skinned tomatoes
1 handful of cilantro
4 green onion stalks
couple shakes of salt

- Slice the tops off the peppers.

- Put the peppers in a bowl of water, stick them in the micro and boil until standing next to the microwave makes you cough and choke from the fumes.

(In this way, by judging your physical reaction, even just having watery eyes, you'll know if your peppers are duds, and your salsa won't be very good, or if they're fresh and flavorful and it will kick a**.)

- Take the peppers out of the water and put um in a blender with all the other ingredients.

- Blend until smooth to mix the flavors.

Serve in your "No Double Dipping" chips and salsa bowl, and Enjoy!

This recipe was given to me by a friend who was Mexican. It is authentic - notice no black pepper in it - getting its heat from the peppers.

WOW. This is very cool. I am a foodie and a big collector of cookbooks and recipes. Consider this an official endorsement and there's a few things we can do. On the inexpensive side of things we could collect a bunch of recipes (i have a few dozen personal ones i'd love to share) and create an online cookbook in a PDF format with graphics and things. If we wanted to go to a printed version, I'll pick up the cost to print the PDF version out and we can sell it on the products page. Actually, we're in the process of creating many new "FlyerTalk" branded merchandise ideas and this fits in. So, shall we use this forum to build the recipe list or create another area. Let me know. I'll bring in some recipes in the next few days. I have a killer carrot cake recipe from a cousin and i have a very simple dump cake recipe which we use a lot around the office. Also, a champagne salad recipe without the bubbles, etc. Thanks for yet another idea of greatness from the members.

And who thinks that the Junior League is the only group that can turn out great cookbooks?

Pardon the tangent, but does anyone remember the Twilight Zone episode that involved air travel and a cookbook?


Hint: The title of the episode was To Serve Man.

Well if there's to be a FlyerTalk cookbook I think there should be a FlyerTalk apron as well, especially as my son is an apron collector.
