Saint James Parish Cookbook
Our Episcopal Church Women (ECW) ministry is creating a Saint James cookbook!
We invite all church members to submit recipes. The recipes can come from favorite cookbooks, magazines, or from dad’s, grandmother’s, mother’s, children’s favorite foods to cook. We want the cookbook to reflect the tastes and food preferences of the men, women, and children of our parish.
Already there are 200 recipes collected, in all categories of cooking. We need another 300-400 in order to have enough to create a comprehensive cookbook. Won’t you join us, and submit a favorite recipe or recipes? Any favorite household tips? Submit them to our cookbook.
Submit recipes to Linda Shannon or Julie Kohn. You can also email recipes to me at: Lkshannon1@comcast.net
We look forward to adding your recipes to this new Saint James Episcopal Church Cookbook.
