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.

I'll do the stir fry turkey if you like, when would you like the feedback by?

Catherine - I've filled in the form for the choc cherry nut flapjacks and the garlicy creamy mushrooms but just realised that I did it in a hurry and forgot about photos.

Do you still want photos of them - and if so, where should I send them please - I can't remember...

CatherineHMumsnet · 21/03/2013 14:34

Zipzap - yes, photos would be great. I'll PM you my email.

UnChartered - yes loads of Veggies ones about to come up.

JammySplodger - if you could do the turkey one this week that would be very useful - feedback by Sunday?

Oooh, is this still ongoing?

UnChartered · 21/03/2013 14:44

ooh, sorry Blush

CatherineHMumsnet · 21/03/2013 15:24

ourvye - yes it is. We'll have a load more recipes up for testing next week. But we still have beef brisket one (see above) that needs testing - you interested?

JammySplodger · 21/03/2013 15:35

Yep, by Sunday should be fine.

ShrewveTuesday · 21/03/2013 15:40

I'm happy to do some veggie ones.

CatherineHMumsnet · 21/03/2013 16:35

JammySplodger - good stuff!

ShrewveTuesday - great - will be posting recipes up early next week.

Not beef - it doesn't agree with me, I'm afraid (which is a shame, because it tastes lovely)

Pootles2010 · 21/03/2013 16:48

Am I way too late to do this?

beanandspud · 21/03/2013 21:16

If it's not too late I'll help, just let me know what you need me to do.

CatherineHMumsnet · 25/03/2013 14:14

Beanandspud and Pootles2010 - are either of you able to do the beef brisket?

OP posts:
Pootles2010 · 25/03/2013 14:20

Yes but will be towards end of week as still have huge leg of lamb in fridge from yesterday. Is that ok?

SimnelCakeEggspeggtations · 25/03/2013 14:27

I can try the brisket later this week too.

BadRoly · 25/03/2013 14:31

Oh I would love to if I'm not too late to the party!

PhylisStein · 25/03/2013 20:58

Yes please - I am usually a MN lurker - but I love to cook and I think I'm getting quite good - so I've come out of the shadows with my arm in the air volunteering for active duty.

CatherineHMumsnet · 26/03/2013 14:59

Pootles - that would be great - thanks!

CatherineHMumsnet · 26/03/2013 15:08

I'd love to have a go at any recipes you can send my way Smile

JammySplodger · 28/03/2013 10:53

Sorry it's a few days late but I've just submitted the review of the stir-fry turkey & red peppers.
