How do you submit a recipe?

Cookbookforthecommunity.com is a site that was created for the purpose of allowing individuals to share their culture through food. The website has a simple recipe submission process that allows you to share the food you’ve carefully prepared as well as the story behind it. You simply do this by clicking Menu > Recipes > Add Recipes. You will then answer a series of questions; at the end you must submit a photo of the recipe or of the relative who passed down the recipe to you.

 

Why do I have to answer questions about my experience with the recipe?

We want this website to be a success, and it’s all enabled by you sharing your thoughts.
