This is just a start on an idea we had in another thread. Let me know what you think : [The Teemings Cook Book](http://www.teemings.com/cookbook/)

Eventually, we’ll be including all the recipes in the “Ultimate Recipe Thread” and the “Iron Chef” competitions. And of course, if anybody wanted to contribute any nifty graphics for the project, feel free. 😉

I think it’s a great idea!

Is it just original recipes? or also those that you liked but stole from someone else?

What sort of nifty graphics?

Sweet!

So, if someone has nifty recipies that aren’t in those threads can they still contribute?

</div>

How about including my recipes from my article, _Tastes Like Chicken_, which appeared in Teemings #1? Of course, you’ll have to exclude the last recipe.

Ooh! Ooh!

I want to submit new recipes and some graphics.  
Should I send them to the regular Teemings address?  
In what format do you want the graphics? I’m imagining .jpg for photo based piccies and .gif or .jpg for stuff done in a vector based program. (72dpi, round about 200 pixels square sounds like a reasonable size, doesn’t it?)  
Let me know what deadlines you are working to.

(oh, and if you don’t like the graphics, don’t feel you have to include them)

Might I request a “Potent Potables” section?

I know there’s been a few threads devoted to favorite drink recipes…

To answer the questions …

I’m not looking for graphics for each recipe, rather just a few title banners for each page. Maybe something with the title “The Teemings Cook Book” and a background with the type of food mentioned : appetizers, meat, fish, etc. It would have to be no more than about 500 wide by 100 high.

I think we could probably do a section on drink recipes as well. If someone could point out the apppropriate threads, I’d appreciate it.

I’ll be working on this on a continuing basis. I still have a regular job to hold down and my moderating duties, plus putting together the regular Teemings zine, so I’ll probably be posting about 10-20 recipes per week until I get through the whole mess of them we have right now. (Of course, by then, we’ll probably have more to add! 😉 )

My God, man I hope you don’t intend to include my Rosemary spike devilled egg hedgehog abomination.

[Here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=75617) is a thread I started. (You are more than welcome to my poor offerings.) and it links over to Papa **Fenris** ’s [EZ Cooking 101](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=65605).

Just two (actually one, but it links) threads I could think of.

Hope it helps.

**Unca Cecil** once discussed a recipe for [Pot-Brownie-like things](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a4_234.html), purely in the interests of science of course! (And whatever the hell you call Toklas’s recipe, it ain’t a brownie!) Will we see it in desserts or cocktails? 😃 😉

And I say you HAVE to include those candied rosemary things of Scylla’s from one of the Iron Chef threads. If only as a warning! 😉

Speaking of **Iron Chef** , isn’t it time for another one? Hmmmmm…

Anyway, Euty, feel free to use any of my recipes you want, (if you still want any after this post! 🙂 )

Fenris, rambling.

Nice start **Euty** , but I do believe that you have got the entries for appetizers and pastas reversed. Let me know how I can be of any help. Here’s a link to the Ultimate Recipe Thread’s [Active Index](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=52447).

I wish I had. Nope, it’s just a DHTML trick. I think it only workd on MIE 5.0 or greater. Not sure if it works on netscape or not. I was pretty impressed with the effect myself.
