Here is what I would love you to do: sometime in the next two weeks, send me one recipe that is quick and easy to make, so it gives you more time to spend reading, writing or creating. Let's try for some conformity and start with ingredients, then go on to method. Along with that recipe, I want your favourite quote about literacy or creativity, your name (can be just a christian name or screen name if you prefer), your blog name and url if you want me to link to you.
It would make life easier if you emailed the recipe and details requested above as an attachment in Word or Rtf, and put BookChook Cook Book in the subject line of your email. You can email me via the Contact Me tab up near my blog banner.
Tif had a great idea. She suggested the recipes be ones we use when we cook with our kids: "I was thinking it would be great to even include recipes that are fun to make with your kids ... ones with few ingredients and easy directions. I've got some great recipes I've collected through the years from very, very simple to those a little more complex that I've done with my kids!! This could be really fun and a big hit!!" Since not all of us have young kids, I thought I might make that a special section in the Book Chook Cook Book - Cooking with Kids. If you'd like to contribute to this section, email Tif : tiftalksbooks at gmail dot com
The book will be a digital one, a pdf a bit like Literacy Lava. Be aware that your submission may need to be edited by Tif or I due to the constraints of publishing.
So, what do you say? Are you in?

Hey, nifty - I'm in! I'll share a recipe soon.
Sounds like fun! I'm in!
Tif, I know exactly what you mean, but I have this vision of you folding yourself into an envelope, applying a stamp and slipping through the post box!
That's great, Eva!
Excellent, Regina!
i love it. I'm not much of a cook but I'm going to try to come up with a recipe for you. I want to be a part of this great Book Chook Cook Book
But I just thought...Are you allowing meat in the recipes?

Yay, Sally! It's also a handy tongue twister if one should feel so inclined!
I figure people can decide for themselves which ingredients to leave out, Sally, even though cooking a chook causes me a pang or two!
Interesting article on your blog!
Oh me! Count me in! Will email soon.
Oh and The Book Chook Cook Book, BAHAHAHAHA. Love it! Try and say it three times!
I twied alweady and now my tung is tangled!
Great!
you know, when you say Book Chook Cook Book several times it kind of sounds like a chicken bluck, blucking. if you put the right accent on the words, anyway.
What a fun idea, I am in :) Now to think up a good recipe for the cook book!
I'd love to participate! I know just the recipe I will send you--it's a traditional Jewish recipe which seems appropriate (after all, we like to call ourselves the People of the Book!) Maybe I should send chicken soup with rice like Maurice Sendak's book...
Now I have to come up with a quote...

I speak fluent Chicken, Sally, so i am pretty sure my accent is right on the beak!
That's great Kelly T!
Margo T, so glad you will join us and welcome to the Kidlitosphere!
There are so many great literacy quotes in quote collections online - or it may just be something your great-grandma used to say. Whatever takes your fancy!
