What I/you/we prepare/eat and would like to share across the kilometres/miles.
Would/Could/Should there be a recipe book of/by/for the halfbakers?
Please refrain from posting recipes in this idea, as it is clearly stated in the help section: "straight recipes - if something belongs
to an Internet recipe site, it should be posted there."
IF such a thing were to come to pass, measurements would be in metric AND non-metric units.
addendum: See link "Call Ambulance, Repair Kitchen"

If you have a pie called a "recipie", I'm all for it. |

recipe for disaster - just wait for UnaBubba to surface.
put me down for welsh rarebit. (don't have me put down, thumb) |
|
| |
Perhaps the UnaBubba - take 1kg of biting Aussie sarcasm, add 1 tonne of altered song lyrics and top off with enough respect from all other halfbakers. |
|
| |
Or the lewisgirl - take a lot of shoes. Add some more shoes. Garnish with shoes. |
|
| |
And serve on a bed of shoes. <grin> |
|
| |
If there's interest, and nobody else wants to do it, I could whomp up some HTML and put it on my site. |
|
| |
If my experience is anything to go by, proceeds from the sales of the book would go towards paying for a small part of the cost of producing and selling the book. |
|

Title:
To Serve HalfBakers |
|
| |
anything sweet please! and no meat. |
|
| |
Another possibility for the title is what I still think was a champion suggestion for a non-lame tagline: "Someone's in the Kitchen with Dynamite." I forget which halfbaker suggested that. Was it ravenswood? |
|
| |
Now, just to make sure I understand this idea [thumbwax], do you mean publishing the best ideas of the halfbakery? |
|
| |
interesting Affroassault based cuisine |
|
| |
I dunno, any recipe that ends with 'Call ambulance, rebuild kitchen' doesn't sound like it's gonna be all that popular... |
|
| |
domestic makeover, home improvement,SC |
|
| |
I vote for StarChaser's "Call Ambulance, Rebuild Kitchen" as a title. |
|
| |
Ask, and ye shalt receive. |

"There's only one recipe on the 1/2B, surely?"
There is only one that actually works... as soon as someone creates something that works it is baked and deleted... What you get is a bunch of recipes that are impossible in interesting ways... which could make an interesting book (I just can't think of how a recipe could be impossible and interesting at the same time). |
|
| |
I do have a recipe for a Scottish delicacy known as Guzintae. |
|
| |
Step 1. Get a big pot.
Step 2. Look in cupboard.
Step 3. Whitever ye've got in the cupboard guzintae the pot.
Step 4. Cook. |
|
| |
UnaBubba: 'Someone set up us the Bombe'? |
|
| |
[PS]: Do you mean a different one at the top of each page? |
|
| |
No, I think he means a different title on page 3 every time you open it (like under the croissant logo on here). No explanation as to how. |
|
| |
Great idea - but what recipes would you find in the half-bakers cookbook?
Lobster on the half-shell
Creme Demi-Brulee
Half Pound Cake
Artichoke half hearts
Or even, my personal favourite, "Half a tranch of half roast cod with a partly herb crust, on half a bed of semi-shredded spinach, accompanied by roasted half cherry tomatoes with a half balsamic jus"
|
|

I suppose to make Changing Motto bakeable in book form per se would require a die-cut/pinwheel - much like Led Zeppelin III album cover or an old 'dist-o-meter' map book.
And it makes me wonder...
If one forsakes the idea of a traditional book - and makes a die-cut/pinwheel book... |
|
| |
...then you could generate random combinations of ingredients. Perfect! Half-baked recipes that would only be half eaten. |
|
| |
I saw one recently that I swear only a complete lunatic would eat. Taste prevents me from elaborating. |
|
| |
Changing motto page: e-Ink page, run off a chip/sensor in the binding (a la musical greeting cards). |
|
| |
"All your pizza base are belong to us"? |
|
| |
Maybe it was bookworm who suggested "Someone's in the kitchen with dynamite." I seem to remember it was a single word made by combining two nouns. |
|
| |
Okay, silly obvious notion: The cookbook is a two book set, but released one book at a time, about half a year apart. Of course, in the first book all the recipes, which are serious (for the most part) only contain the first half of the recipes--the first half of the ingredients and the first half of the instructions. Maybe only the left half of the de rigueur glossy food shots would be printed. |
|
| |
Alternatively, each book could contain every other page. |
|
| |
b: possibly blissmiss, drbob, quarterbaker, coolerking, StarChaser, thumbwax, hippo, the list is endless then. |
|
| |
It wasn't me if that helps. I don't think I've even read the non-lame 1/2b tags idea. |
|
| |
I like the "each book contains every other page idea", bris. Perhaps the first book contains the ingredients and the second contains the method? |
|
| |
Ever read Penn & Teller's "Cruel Tricks For Dear Friends"? |
|
| |
Rapid-rise yeast - Hopefully this will be baked as a web page within reasonable time. I've started kneading the dough and am simply laying things out right now. |
