Thought I'd keep everybody in the loop on the progress of our cookbook and how it's coming along. :)

Big Damn Chefs has about 95 recipes submitted from Browncoats all over the world, and we're looking for more! At the end of this post, I'll list the recipes we have so far, so you can get an idea of what sort of recipes we could still be in need of.

We'll be soliciting recipes from our Big Damn Heroes, as well! So the plan is that you'll be seeing recipes from Nathan, Gina, Adam, Alan, Jewel, Morena, Summer, Sean, Ron, Joss, Tim, Shawna, Greg, etc, in the book, too!!

As the title of this post suggests, profits from the sale of this book will be going toward charity. The current leader is Equality Now, but other organizations (especially those whose aim is aiding the hungry) will certainly be considered. So if you would like to suggest a good international cause, please feel free to do so.

Coming soon will also be the details of the cover art contest! The grand prize will be, of course, that your artwork will be used on the cover, and a copy of the book (which, if we're lucky, we might be able to get some autographs in). Runner up prizes are in the works, too. We'll also be needing some black and white illustrations for the inside of the book - it would be great if we had some Firefly/Serenity-cooking themed illos from our own Browncoats!

To submit recipes send them to me at fashionablybrown at comcast dot net. Please include:

* board user name
* any other name you'd like to appear (real name is fine, too!)
* the area in which you live (to show the diversity of our community)
* the recipe, including any comments/notes about it (to personalize it)

If the recipe is from a book, please re-write the directions in your own words. We cannot accept recipes which are not yours which have not been re-written (such as Nathan Fillion's Bean Dip recipe which was published in Lux Lucre's Browncoat Guidebook) and which we do not have permission to publish.

So how does one contribute to the recipe collection?

"Do not go gentle into that good night....
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. . ."

If you make my favorite show disappear forever, you *will* go to a very special level of hell, one reserved for child molesters, people who talk at the theater, and Fox executives.

Folks have asked about when the deadline for submissions is...

Well, as I'm asking our BDHes for submissions, I need to give them some time to get them in. Right now, consider the due date "sometime." :) I hope to get the book out for the summer at the latest.

We're going to be keeping the number of pages of the book under 200, to keep the price reasonable. In cases where there are multiple submissions from an individual, I might need to choose between their submissions to decide which one(s) to include.
