Food and Drink ChiefsPlanet Cookbook - Page 4

**CosmicPal** · 10:30 AM

I know we've got some foodies on our forum, so we are publishing our very own ChiefsPlanet Cookbook with recipes compiled from the ChiefsPlanet cooks. It is a done deal. Please offer up your recipes for consideration.

If you do not have a recipe to provide, thenwe are also looking for people who would also like to try out some of the recipes at home and provide a review.

Proceeds from the book will go to support our forum and/or some non-profit organization. If anyone wants to suggest one of the player's current charities, please feel free to make your suggestions in this thread.

The recipes would include strong emphasis on tail-gating, grilling, etc. But, that doesn't have to the only theme, you are free to submit your favorite recipes of any kind.

The categories include the following (Numbers in front indicate how many recipes we have thus far):

0 Brunch & Breads
2 Appetizers
2 Drinks
1 Soups & Salads
2 Sides & Bites
1 Vegetables
0 Pasta, Rice & Grains
3 Fish & Seafood
9 Meat & Poultry
0 Desserts & Treats
0 Lighter Sides
0 Sauces & Rubs

Submit your recipes in the body of thread or PM me.

Include the Category type, the Name of the Recipe, Prep time, Servings, the list of Ingredients, Directions and Additional Notes in full.

Me too. I'd have to cook them and take note.

Kind of like the inspiration behind most message boards like this one, they seem to be better/more successful when they are focused around a common theme, otherwise they get pretty scattered and the connection between the topics involved gets faded. There are thousands of general cookbooks out there. If it’s a football message board book, it may be better to keep that as the focus, i.e. tailgating and game-day snacks.

For example, a deserts section could be KC-area related, or Chiefs related, even if it means throwing red and yellow icing on a cake.

No. Designing the printed pages like you're actually looking at the CP site.

Something like this...

The avatar design would be pretty cool, but would force the printing into four-color to look half-way decent. That will raise the price significantly.

Excellent points.

However, there is nothing wrong with making a "general" cookbook that includes a section devoted entirely to tailgating/grilling/Chiefs theme. After all, this is ChiefsPlanet and just like the forum isn't entirely dedicated to all things Chiefs/football related, the cookbook is to represent those who are members of ChiefsPlanet.

I just don't want to discourage those who want to share their non-tailgating items as well.

Just say the word, and you're the editor.

This is true. Printing costs aside, another issue would be the user's avatar, (there are some not-so-cookbook-friendly avatars on here). I guess we could always fuzz them out for the book.

Same here. I have a general idea of quantities but it's usually by eye. And then there's the ingredients, which are often determined by what's on hand. Might be fun to write it all down into actual recipes, though. And besides, I've been promising my sons I would get around to doing that someday
