Guest guest Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Rob, Great minds work together they say. The project is already underway. The PAI is putting out a Nutritional Guide and Recipe Book. I am editing it, but would some of your expertise with graphic design. We are going through a print on demand format and it has to goo to press camera ready. We have another member who works in writing and publishing who is also working on this project, of course along with the members who have submitted the recipes. Go to the files section on Yahoo and look under nutrition. Then click on recipes. Also, if you go to the Yahoo database you will see database templates for recipes. I want to transfer the files over to the databases right now. Let me know if you want to help on the project. Karyn E. , RN Exec.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Rob I would be interested in contributing. Like you I have a vast library of no-fat, lowfat cookbooks. And I do use them, just not to the extent many would. I modify many recipes to suit the tastes of my family as well as reduce the fat even more in many by changing the ingredients. We have found that many no fat recipes lack flavor and therefore need spicing up so the are edible. Anyway, let me know, I'll help Patty Hurst Bangor, ME Maine State Rep PAI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Yes, if there is something I can do to help, please let me know. I'm curious about your printing process though. If you are preparing the book digitally, you should be able to do a print on demand digitally and go right from file to press without having to produce camera ready art. The other question would be which type of program are you using for layout? I work on PC, but lots of designers work on Mac. Send me an e-mail at telebit@... if you think there is something I can help with. Rob Larsen Re: Cook Book Rob, Great minds work together they say. The project is already underway.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Patty and other, If you want to contribute to the cookbook add your recipes to the current file we are collecting. Go to: <A HREF= " http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pancreatitis/files/Nutrition/Recipes/ " > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pancreatitis/files/Nutrition/Recipes/</A> If possible try and include the nutritional information with the recipes. There is a government website that will calculate it for you. I will try and locate it. I wrote up some general information on nutrition, explanations about carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. This along with digestion anatomy and physiology 101 will also be included in the book. If you want to write up a short story to go along with your recipe to make it more personal you can do that. We can also accommodate color photos of your creation, as well as the chef! It should be fun! Blessings, Karyn E. , RN Exec.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 This is such a cool idea ! I love buying cookbooks for Christmas gifts ! Are we going to be able to get it in regular cookbook format, or only on CD ? Jeannine > If you want to contribute to the cookbook add your recipes to the current > file we are collecting.

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Jeannine, The cookbook will actually come printed on 3 hole punched paper bound in plastic wrap, with a 3 ring binder that comes with it. It will be 5..5 X 8 in. It will also be available on CD or as an e-book. That way, it can be added to, and the recipe can be taken out when it is used. We could put a plastic sheet protector with it, to put the recipe in so it won't get dirty. When there are revision or new recipes, they can be downloaded, printed and put in the notebook. If that is too expensive then it will come as a soft back cover with a plastic spiral binding. If you or anyone wants to share anything they would like to see the book have, let me know, i.e., the format of the book, how the chapters are divided up. Do you want traditional formatting (Main meal, salads, appetizers, deserts, etc.). Or do you have a different creative approach? Maybe it should be formatted on food types, i.e., low fat, low protein, low carb, sugar free, vegetarian, high protein, etc.? Why don't you take a look at your current cook books and give it some thought. As I mentioned before, there will also be a large section on " Nutritional Healing, " " Nutrition 101. " There will be a section on vitamins & herbs I would like to include a section for and by kids. I would like to move on this and really see if we can make this happen. It would make all of us feel proud. To give me an idea of how many people are interested in contributing let me know an informal hand count, and also let me know how many recipes you would like to contribute. I need to get a preliminary page count, and how many photos you would have. Personally, I always prefer a recipe that has a picture of what I am making. If you just want to write up some things that help you around the kitchen you can do that, too. Karyn Karyn E. , RN Exec.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Karyn I have 3 or 4 I'd like to contribute, they are the one'sCassie really likes. I also have several tips to contribute to. I had a ruff last week or so and I'm finially comigng around. I have some catch up around here to do, my own medical testing to get done and a trip to Cassie's GI to prepare for. SO it may be a week or two till I sned them . I have a digital camera and will take pictures of what I send.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 Patty, That is great that you have some of Cassie's recipes and tips from you. The deadline I am looking at for receiving material for the book is July 1, 2003. That should give people time to pick some out, take a picture of the results before taste testing them. Let me know if you need help calculating the nutritional information. I still need to locate that website. The most important thing is to know what you are looking at sending so we can do a preliminary layout for the book, we can fill in the specific data later. I will tentatively reserve four pages for you. When you are deciding how you want to lay out the recipes, etc., remember to use an 8 X 5.5 " page, with a 1/2 " page margin. Now, to you, Patty, I was backlogged on my email and only recently saw your post about your own symptoms of Pancreatitis and such. I am so sorry to hear about that. Don't consider yourself excessively worrying. I support people intuition about how they feel and any concerns they have regarding their health. It won't hurt to work it up, and a lot will hurt if you don't, but should have. Gosh, Donna and Cameron have started a special subdivision of Parent and Child with Chronic Pancreatitis. (PC/CP) Yikes. I do hope that it is as minimal as possible. Good luck with the medical appointments. When you go see Cassie's GI, see if he/she wants to make a comments regarding Pancreatitis nutritional considerations or general guidelines that we could use as a quote. Or not, as the case may be. That might not come across right, maybe we should wait until we have a little more substance to the book, and then seek out some professional commentary. You might just think about if one of the GI's/Nutritionists might be someone that would support this project. Blessings, Karyn E. , RN Exec.
