What kind of recipes are needed?
The goal is for this cookbook to reflect the entire Natick community, so recipes that celebrate the many cultures represented in Natick, as well as recipes submitted in languages other than English, are very welcome.
Here are the categories, that will likely serve as chapter headings in the finished book:
- appetizers and beverages
- soups and salads
- vegetables and side dishes
- main dishes
- breads and rolls
- desserts
- cookies and candy
- this and that
So far Natick Report has shared a Lentil Soup recipe, and we’re excited to see this family favorite as part of the cookbook. But don’t let us have all the fun. The Community Cookbook can’t be a success without lots of community involvement. Not just individuals can submit recipe(s)—your club, civic group, organization, business, etc., are encouraged to get involved. More than just a repository of recipes, The Community Cookbook is meant to be a snapshot in time of Natick, a useable document that expresses what the town’s culinary life looks like right now.
Looking back
The last (and only Morse Institute Cookbook, as far as the library staff is aware of) was produced as a fundraiser in 1989. In that book, the 1923 Purple and Gold Natick Women’s Club Cookbook was included as a full section.
