If we are to proceed, and it does appear as though there is some interest, then what would be the best process in terms of the "project" being considered by the powers that be here? Too, we need to identify some of the aspects of the tasks at hand. Maybe a bit a brainstorming in terms of what folks most enjoy in such cookbooks or collections. For example: interesting stories? articles of interest re kilts, Celtic lore, historical anecdotes, soties behind some of the foods, recipes, ingredients? These are just a few ideas, but the sorts of things that add real interest.

Then there is the organization of the book: ingredients? courses? regions? other?

Any ideas as to how best to create an initial repository for storage of recipes, stories, etc?

If I may make a suggestion. Why not publish a real book (I'm not offering) anyone who wants to participate submit up to 3 recipes and a good quality pic of themselves. All profits (after vanity press costs of course) to go to some mutually agreed on charity.

I'm in for Yorkshire pudding and gesundheit cake (or more appropriately called heart attack cake).

I love the sound of that cake! Recipe PLEASE. One idea: a unique book of the people and containing something special about the people of the forum ..cultures, traditions, histories, tastes, stories and so much more...plus the best of recipes of the world over!

Let's see...Lamb Stew, Guinness Glazed Carrots, Shepherd's Pie, Caramelized Leek Mashed Potatoes...I might have something to contribute!

...Anyhow, I've got a recipe for a breakfast dish my family makes every Christmas that might interest you. It's sort of like quiche, but manly.

Hmmm...I am quessing with diced well-done, almost burned, grilled steak?

Basically, you tear up a bunch of bread, pour a wee bit of milk over it, and then dump as much cheese and meats of types numerous and divers onto it (we usually use lots and lots of bacon and those little sausages). Then, put it in a pan and throw it into the oven 'till the top is nice and crispy. Finally, eat it and enjoy the feeling of the cholesterol building up…

Sounds like a great idea!

I think if this prospective cook book is to represent the Xmarksthescot forums, then the best format would be to have a section on each contributing member. The section would contain a bit about the person and why they wear a kilt, be it their herritage, their love of scotland or simply improved comfort.

The more recipies the better, but with background too, why they like the recipe, how it came to be. I'd like to see a book with more depth and character then just a cataloge of recipies!

Also, I'd like to contribute, at my previous place of work, one fellow regularly brough in game to sell to his collegues, I have a few game recipies now, both of my own making and long standing recipies. That stopped a while ago, though, but I have considered taking up shooting so I can get rabbits myself... I can think of things to use the pelts for too.

And lastly, hows this for a suggested title, 'Cooks in Kilts' ?

I'll be happy to contribute. Do we start a thread & just list them?
