We would like you to submit 3 or 4 of your favorite recipes so you can be represented in our memorable collection.  Please follow the instructions below on how to submit the recipe.

Each cookbook will contain helpful cooking hints, recipe category dividers, a table of contents, an index, and special pages of interest to our community.  The cookbook will be typeset in an easy-to-read format and professionally printed and bound.

Proceeds from our cookbook sales will help fund GPAC expenses.  Your help in contributing recipes will ensure that our cookbook will be a success.  Feel free to submit traditional recipes, helpful hints as well as canning recipes and tips.
