Want that special something for the next family reunion? Try a family cookbook, involve the whole family and collect the recipes they each like the best. This is a great way to get your Aunt Margie's recipe for Apple Pie!
If the family reunion is to be a pot-luck, have them bring a recipe card for the dish they will be providing. This method has several advantages; a picture of the person can be added to the recipe when the book is compiled.
Computers are great for this project, and using a regular notebook allows people to add to the recipe book at a later date. (You can even email the book to those who have a computer and are online to help save on postage.)
In addition this can be used as a great memory for the family reunion, and a way to get pictures of all the family members who forgot to bring their cameras! Just add photos to the book and it will bring funny and happy memories for years to come.
If there is a problem of the cost of materials, have each member who wants one donate a small fee to cover the costs of the paper, ink, notebooks and postage. I don't know how many times I have gone to a pot-luck and spent lots of time asking for the recipe!
I have never been to where I didn't find several dishes I really liked and wanted to make for my family later.
If you would rather have the recipe on hand at the reunion, just request, in advance, everyone provide their favorite recipe, put an old picture of them with it, this can present even more fun by not identifying the person in the picture!
You may want to put an index in the back so they can tell in the years to come, who is in the picture.
Whatever means you use, this is a great momento of a special day for your family, enjoy it, and remember to send one to the family members who couldn't be there for whatever reasons.
