WE NEED RECIPES!!
Do you have a family recipe that you wish to share?!! How about, Uncle Jo's famous Corn Bread Stuffing? or Aunt Esther's Bread Pudding? We WANT THEM, we NEED THEM :)!! Your recipes will be published in the "First Edition" of "York's Farmer's Market Cookbook".
Barbara Rose, our quilling artist has graciously offered to share
her time and talents to compile them in this, sure to become, an indispensible cookbook!
Please share your favorite recipes (as many as you like) and even your tips on
canning, freezing, "how to's" in preparing produce from your field, and even little poems or folklore.
Please send these to YDFMrecipes@bcdenterprises.net,
or bring them with you to the market. The deadline is Jan 31, but the sooner you submit them sooner she can get started. All recipes must include your name or please give credit to the author.
Barbara will be typing and designing this over the winter months to have
ready for sale when we open next Spring. The cookbook will be a fundraiser for the market and the many improvements and additions we need to make.
Looking forward to seeing what all of you share!
Thank you for visiting the York Downtown Farmers Market Blog and we can't wait to share in this Joyful season with you!!
