Lets get cooking...

All those good things to eat out of the garden, and everyone always sharing such delicious culinary details that eminate from the garden. What better way to celebrate this fact than with a Community Garden Cookbook. A very energetic group of gardeners has started working on this project and needs your recipes and stories.

The cookbook aims to 1) promote local organic produce, 2) to raise awareness of Community Gardens , and 3) to raise funds for future development of our Community Gardens.

If you are interested in submitting a recipe (or better yet, several recipes!), please contact garden@northernhills.ab.ca to obtain a form or visit the Northern Hills Community Association office, located in Cardel Place. Please take a look at the “Recipe Guidelines” section of the form to determine if your recipe can be included in our publication. We would also appreciate any pictures you have that you would like to share – pictures of your dish, produce, etc.

The deadline for submissions is October 31, 2011 so hurry and dig up your best kept family secrets (of the recipe variety).

We hope to have the cookbook completed by this spring. Perhaps some of the recipes will look so inviting you will be inspired to try a new vegetable in your plot next year. Keep a look out as we will be having a Cookbook naming contest in the future.
