I thought it might be worth mentioning that the cookbook I adapted the

cheesecake recipe from may prove very useful to a lot of people on this list.

It's " American Wholefoods Cuisine " by Nikki and Goldbeck. It has over 1300

recipe from around the world using a variety of whole foods. The recipes are

easily adaptable to the NT format. A lot of them use dairy and eggs.. also

tempeh. I've found this cookbook to be the most useful book on my shelf (pre-NT,

of course)... you can come in from your garden with an armful of misc. veggies

and find a recipe in here that will make a delicious meal out of it (that even

kids and picky, meat-loving husbands will love). There's usually a lot of leeway

for ingredients, so you can use whatever you have on hand and get great results.

Most of the recipes are ethnic staples.. the kinds of things that simple country

folk live on all over the world. Not gourmet, just homey and good without a lot

of fuss. Some of our favorites are garlic beans, egg fu yung, kitcheree (an

Indean dish with lentils & brown rice), bread pudding (a great way to use up old

or flopped bread) and garden rice.

Bob,

(Sigh) How sad that the main problem with creating a cookbook that all CRONies would love to have is that there are greedy selfish people who would just want to make a buck off of it - or sue because 'that was their recipe'.

Maybe the easiest thing is to create it - make it downloadable for free - and don't publish it for profit. Then it's hard for anyone to scream over it since no one has made a cent.

No clear guidance came out of CRSociety Meta about how to proceed without violating anyone's rights to ownership of their messages posted to the group. The issue is still unresolved as far as I know. I suppose this is only relevant if the "cookbook" was to be used as a source of revenue by the group, but that is speculation on my part.Now, with your Group, the same issue arises. Who has the right to ownership of the messages posted to your group. If a "cookbook" is assembled at your web group, are only the recipes posted to your group to be considered in the "cookbook" or will the recipes archived in CRSociety be included, and....is that permissable?All that aside, we need someone with computer savvy. Recipes should be organized by type: salads, desserts, snacks, entree, beverages, etc. The table of contents should have links to the recipes so you don't have to scroll through 150 pages to get to my oatmeal recipe.Searching the archives and finding the recipes is really the easy part of this endeavor. Cutting and pasting will transfer the data we're seeking, but we have to have a web space or what-ever to transfer the data to for assembly into final form. Pictures would be nice too.I'm not a computer type so maybe I see bigger problems than reality, so hopefully someone will step forward with the requisite knowledge or skill and lay out a path for us to follow. Meanwhile, you need to figure out the legal status of doing this and get 's?? approval for forwarding recipes from his archive to yours or from yours to his or from both places to somewhere else.I'm open to all ideas on this subject and would like to "hear" everyone elses thoughts.
