Cooking With Squid(oo)

Squidoo has an awesome community of users (we call them lensmasters). At any given time, someone is cooking up a new promotion or challenge. It's hard not to stay busy and, in fact, easy to get too busy. Here, though, is a community project that's worth making time for.

Lensmaster Rewards4Life (actually David and Marta) is putting together a Squidoo community cookbook, a real, hard-copy book full of recipes provided by lensmasters on Squidoo. The book will be available to purchase and, believe me, this will be a one-of-a-kind cookbook that you will want to own.

Thing is, David and Marta need more recipes to bring this project to life. They've set June 1st as the deadline for recipe submissions and today, with less than a week to go, they must have 41 more recipes to keep the cookbook project going.

It's quite simple to submit a recipe. All of the steps are outlined in their lens, Squidoo Recipes Cookbook, but to summarize here is what you need to compile and email to David and Marta: Your recipe, the category (side dish, dessert, etc.), a list of ingredients, the directions, your picture or avatar, and a photo of the completed dish. They also want to include a link to your lens about the recipe, if you have one, and a short bio of you.

With all the magnificent recipe lenses on Squidoo and all of our talented chefs, certainly there are enough people to provide the remaining recipes. What a shame if this project doesn't fly because of lack of support. So, why not set aside a few minutes today and gather your favorite recipe and submit it with the supporting documentation to David and Marta at the address on their lens.

Let's eat!
