Since one of the things Adat Shalomers like to do is share a meal together, we thought it would be a good idea to create our own AS cookbook. We hope that you might have a recipe or two that you would like to contribute. So, it’s time to dig out the directions for Bubbe’s brisket, Minnie’s mandelbread, and Chaim’s chicken soup --- as well as your best-loved non-traditional dishes.
1. Please choose one or two of your favorite recipes.
2. All recipes must be “kosher style.” (no meat with milk, no shellfish, and no pork products)
3. Recipes can be from any category --- appetizers, soups, salads, main courses, desserts, breads, vegetarian, special holiday dishes, kids’ recipes, Oneg recipes, 5 minute recipes, etc.
4. Submit your recipes by email recipe . Please follow the recipe format below. use it as template. The template is automatically in the email, but you can cut and paste it too.
5. If you prefer paper, You can also print the form and “snail mail,” send them to Debbie Ehrenstein, 7502 Nevis Road, Bethesda, MD 20817. Please write “recipe” on the envelope. You may also submit your recipes by putting them in a box labeled “RECIPES,” which you’ll find on the table in the synagogue lobby.
This is a great opportunity to build community, to create our own cookbook that reflects the diversity of our membership, and to raise money for Adat Shalom. We are looking forward to 100% participation.
1. Please, if possible, submit your recipe(s) by email. However, if you prefer, you may use paper or snail mail; if you do, please type or print clearly in pen on the recipe form or on an 8 ½ x 11 inch paper. If you do not use the recipe form itself, please follow the format when you write out your recipe.
2. Please submit only one recipe per form, electronically or on paper. For paper submissions: If you need more room, use another sheet of the same size and staple the pages together, putting your name and the name of the recipe at the top of each sheet.
3. Do not submit photocopied recipes from published cookbooks. We encourage you to submit original or family recipes.
4. In listing ingredients, please list each ingredient in the order in which it is used in the recipe directions/preparation method. Be specific: 1 c. skim (or whole) milk rather than 1 c. milk, unless it doesn’t matter.
5. Include container sizes, e.g., 16 oz. pkg., 24 oz. can, etc.
6. Use the names of the ingredients in the Preparation Method. For example: “combine flour and sugar.” Do not use statements like “combine the first 3 ingredients.”
