Connecting over a shared love of food and storytelling has been the heartbeat of this group since day one. Your voice and kitchen legacy belong in these pages! To participate, you don't have to submit a full recipe. How about just an idea? Or a culinary memory? Post it here. Let's celebrate food! Let’s dive in! 👇

@Gwynne Conlyn kindly gave me access to the module "The cookbook you're meant to write". I want to go back through it more slowly but it's got some great strategies and ideas. I have some recipes coming out there in the world next year - I write science fiction and fantasy and have a collection of food themes stories with accompanying recipes being published - but never really thought about a whole cookbook. Until now! Lots of ideas are flowing!

My grandmother made this possibly on both sides of my family my mom's and my dad's side you take the white part of the watermelon rind cut the hard green part off leave some of the red watermelon and then pickle it and it has to have clothes in it I'll come back and add more of a recipe for you and wanted to put a placeholder here so I don't forget. This is the one thing that I always have on hand and I give to family at Christmas I am now the watermelon pickle maker in our family and each time the recipe is a little different so I will try to find something in the middle!

I am opening a brand-new module in our Classroom for a project deeply close to my heart: We are going to create our cookbook, together.
