za Cookbook Committee
goes High-tech

Bill Main, Yvonne Mostert, Mark
Coumont and Christina Symons have put
out a call for recipes to be included in
Douglas College Cooks: Low Fat and
Vegetarian Dishes, a new book planned
for fall 1996. Main dishes, side dishes,
you name it; they’re needed.

To make editing easy as pie, the
Cookbook Committee requests that you e-
mail submissions to
yvonne_mostert @douglas.be.ca or
mark_coumont@ douglas.be.ca. There are
also templates available for WordPerfect
and Excel on the College file server (NS1,
under J:\cookbook). If you choose this
method, you will have to save your
recipes to a 3.5" floppy and hand-deliver
them to Bill, Yvonne, Mark or Christina.

Of course, low-tech versions of recipes
are still welome—yust send your
favourites to any of the committee
members listed above.
