Project Cook Book

Please send us your recipies Today!!

Cook Book Committee: Villa Pinto, Dolly Aamann, Sharmila Rego, and Liliana Vaz

How would you like the opportunity to see your name in PRINT? To immortalize that age old, treasured, passed-down through the ages, family recipe, so that it is not lost in family vaults but is immortalized for all time and appreciated by not just a few but by many. Or, perhaps, you just need an outlet for your creative juices to flow and a fat-free way to indulge your culinary passions?

Well, if that describes you to a T, then we have some amazing news for you!

Project Cookbook, an initiative undertaken by the GOA Vancouver and spearheaded by Villa Pinto, Dolly Aamann, Sharmila Rego and Liliana Vaz are compiling the very first edition of the GOA Vancouver Cookbook; a book of mouth-watering delicacies to tantalize even the "fussiest" of palates. So, be a part of local history in the making!

This is no ordinary cookbook folks. This is an "all-inclusive" cookbook, not only limited to Goan recipes but inclusive of recipes from the entire "GEMA" (Goan, East-Indian, Mangalorean, Anglo-Indian) diaspora. The main objective of this venture is to promote our cuisine, to create a legacy for future generations and to introduce a culinary fusion.

We need your favourite and most popular recipes (maximum 3 per person) emailed in (.doc) format (MS Word). Please make sure the recipe is fully detailed and that your email contains your name and city/country along with the name of the person, if any, who you wish to have credited for it, if the recipe is published. Also if you would like to share a unique story regarding your submission we will try to include as many "small" articles as possible.

We also need people who are willing to test assigned recipes and to rate them. And, finally, we need people who are willing to assist with artwork, editing, collating, publishing and distributing the recipe books.

For those who wish to advertise in the book to an international Goan audience, we will include a limited number of advertisements at a cost of $100 to $500. Our plan is to keep costs to a minimum, have the book ready for sale at a modest price by late 2007/2008 and to donate proceeds to support the wonderful charitable/scholarship work of the GOA.

We hope the work on this project will be lots of fun and will also enhance collaboration between Goans, our GEMA counterparts, and Goan associations around the world.

We look forward to hearing from you. Phone volunteers will be calling members in May, so be prepared and help us make this dream a reality….and PLEASE tell your friends and family, near and far.
