family reunion? Try a family cookbook,
involve the entire family and collect the
recipes they each like the best. This is
a great way to get your Aunt Marges
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 to all of 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 dont know how many
times I have gone to a pot-luck and
spent lots of time asking for the recipes!
I have never been to where I didnt find
several dishes I really liked and wanted
to make for my family later.
If you would rather have the recipe book
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
memento of a special day for your
family, enjoy it, and remember to send
one to the family members who couldnt
be there for whatever reason.
