MNHQ I want you to employ me to edit and test the recipes for the mn cookbook.

[Carmenere]

Please, I'm really good at it and have experience and we all know that it would sell really well and, and, and just PLEASE

[fortunecookie]

D'you need to put on weight or something, Carmenere? suzywong's brownies are killers!

[Carmenere]

Erm no, definitely do not need to put on weight. No I just want to do it. And if they are going to approach their publishers it makes sense to have someone on board who could do it properly ie me

[MaryAnnSingletomb]

and I could illustrate it !

[MaryAnnSingletomb]

obv. I'd need to sample said recipes,for inspiration

[fortunecookie]

I've promised myself to lose the last of my pg fat (ha! ds is now 4) so I can't help you test but I can contribute some ehhhhhxcellent recipes!

[ggglimpopo]

I think they should post a recipe per day and we should all try it and rate it.

Then we'd all get fat.

[TheMuppetMuggle]

I like GGG's idea.

When are we getting the cookbook??

I'm getting impatient

[JustineMumsnet]

Yes we are keen on a recipe of the day or maybe week more realistically and then we can all have a collective pick it to shreds session! More on that in a few weeks, when Tech surfaces from his current project.

As regards a MN recipe book, nothing is finalised I'm afraid, Carmenere, but we'll certainly bear your interest in mind [smil]

[MarsLady]

I feel that my tasting skills are far superior and with a larger family am more likely to have more varied taste.

(What else can I bring in to play? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm)

[Carmenere]

Actually ggg that isn't a bad idea at all. I'll have to standardise and test the recipes first though to make them doable. Oh and we can use other peoples recipes obviously. Well I suppose we could if they were credited.

[LadyTophamHatt]

what MN recipe book?


I might let you all have my "really quite boring but impossible to fail" recipe for toad in the hole if you ask nicely.

[fortunecookie]

Yup, Marsy's lemon dribble cake has a place there for sure.

[TheMuppetMuggle]

Ohh this sounds fun, hopefully we can get some vegetarian receipes in the tasting to??

[Carmenere]

You know it makes sense Justine
I can help with the proposal and everything. and think of the production meetings. It would be great.

[CountessDracula]

I'll do the photos

[MarsLady]

Obviously Carm... they would need a more objective view such as mine

[TheMuppetMuggle]

I'll eat i need to put weight on

[JustineMumsnet]

Oh sure you can join in with all that Carmenere - it's the wider meaning of the little word "employ" we're struggling with.

[fortunecookie]

I'll do the begging - please, oh please, please, pretty-pleasewithacherryontop, please, pleeeeeeaase!

[JustineMumsnet]

And Mars, and CD - you can join in too!

[MarsLady]

I don't need to be employed justine just the knowledge that I was providing a much needed service [smarm] would be enough for me. Oh and a free copy of said cookbook!

[MarsLady]

Ooh and I'm local so the productions meetings...... I'll bring the ldc!

[Carmenere]

I'll do it(and by this I mean the 'proper' work, ie the editing, testing and writing the recipes) for a tiny, tiny percentage and a budget for the ingredients ect. And a tiny credit somewhere on it.

[fortunecookie]

What? do I smell or something?

[TheMuppetMuggle]

I just want to eat good mums recipes
