Calling all cooks! The Read for the Cure Foundation is planning to self-publish a fundraising cookbook in 2010 that will feature delicious appetizer & dessert recipes from our book club community!

We all know how important the food (and wine!) can be to a book club meeting, so we thought we'd compile some of the best into a cookbook and donate all of the proceeds to our charity, The Cancer Research Society - www.src-crs.ca.

Here is how you can help:
If you are part of a book club, we would love to feature one of your favourite appetizers or dessert recipes that your book club has enjoyed.
Recipes should not be copied from a cookbook, but can be "inspired by" cookbook recipes.  Please indicate if they are.
This project will also be a great opportunity to learn a little more about Canada's book club community.

So, along with your recipe, please include:
  •  Your name & your book club's name (if applicable)
  •  Where you are from
  •  What is special about your club - we'd like to receive a short anecdote to share about your book club -  something humorous, touching or thoughtful. Photos of your book club are also welcome!
  •  We'd also be interested in recipes that tie in with a book, either thematically, ethnically, or  anecdotally.
Our plan is to gather as many recipes as possible in order to start the cookbook sales in the fall of 2010.

Please join in the fun and submit a recipe (or two!) on behalf of your book club and spread the word to any other book club members that you know.

Our testers and tasters have been at the gym and are ready to go!

Please send your recipes and anecdotes to info@readforthecure.ca
