Yum-Yum! You know, with all these great recipies on PT, we really should consider putting out a cookbook to raise funds for operating this website, or a charity, or ???

Anyone want to take it on?

I am highly in favour of this idea!! Would it be all original, our favourites, etc?

What a great idea!! We could also make one with recipes for cat/dog/etc. food.

I guess at least 3 members would have to try the recipes that were to go in a book. Or for each recipe, we could post ratings.
