Would you like to help us test recipes for the Mumsnet Cookbook?

Shhh .. don't tell everyone but we're working on a top secret new project in the form of The Mumsnet Cookbook and we need your help.

We'd like to get together a Mumsnet Cookbook cookery group to stop us from piling on the pounds help us test these shortlisted recipes.

Each volunteer will be allocated a recipe which they'll then cook for their family and give us some feedback on how easy, hard, good, bad, expensive etc they are and whether they'd make it again. All the recipes chosen were submitted over the years by Mumsnetters, so there shouldn't be any outlandish Shock or particularly difficult to source ingredients - and they should all be pretty easy to make (we hope!).

As a thank-you, we'll be putting everyone who helps out into a prize draw to win a Bloomsbury cookbook.

And if that's not enough of an incentive, everyone who helps will have their *Mumsnetter nickname featured in the cookbook's acknowledgements.

Yes please - have completed the survey!!! Fingers crossed!

LackaDAISYcal · 24/09/2012 23:45

Ooh yes please, but would rather win a copy of the book Itself, rather than Hugh or Paul Hollywood (don't even know who he is Blush). The Venetian one might be good though!

CakeExpectations · 25/09/2012 01:09

This is the cookbook I've been waiting for! Don't s'pose there's any chance of having it in time for Xmas?
