Hey Will,
You have a nice collection of recipes started but you need more content before deciding on a name and cover art. You still need more recipes:
a. Appetizers
b. beverages
c. soups, chowders and stews
d. entrees
e. vegetables
f. salads
g. breads
h. desserts
There are currently over 12, 500 Forum members from around the world. Each of these members have something other than HIV in common... They all eat and have favorite foods. Your task (if you choose) would be to pump some of these members for recipes and only you can decide how much pumping is needed.
The best selling cook books of all time were simple such as "Joy of Cooking" and "Diet for a Small Planet." Not a lot to their names but direct and to the point. One of my personal favorites is "Virginia Hospitality" a fund raiser in the tradition of warm hospitality featuring copy from private owners and historical societies of 18th century homes, where many of the recipes originated.
You need to take a look at goals, what is your anticipated press run? How many copies do you plan on selling? What are you production costs? Do you want to print a pamphlet to cover some of the 2011 AMG costs or a book for ongoing sales for future fund raising? ;D Have the best day

Basically we are shooting for a minimum of 100 recipes, which yes currently we are far short. I believe we have approx 30 recipes in the "official" recipe thread (I'll do a tally and content breakdown later tonight).
Hey Wumpster:
I posted a recipe, are we allowed to post more than one?
Ok fellow food fantatics, in speaking to Tim we got an answer on the use of AIDSmeds in the title. Basically anything that suggests AIDSmeds ownership of the book will not fly. However, if it's used in the context of the community forum members then that would be OK.
Here are some examples of usage that WOULD be acceptable:
1) Cooking for a Cause: A Collection of Recipes from AIDSmeds Community Forums Members
2) Cooking for a Cause: A Collection of Recipes, by Members of the AIDSmeds Community Forums
3) Cooking for a Cause: A Collection of Recipes to Benefit AMG
Something like this WOULD NOT be acceptable (implies AIDSmeds ownership):
1) An AIDSmeds Cookbook
Of course with the suggestions we have it looks like we are steering clear of using AIDSmeds altogether, but just wanted to get this out there.

Michael, I have the "Kentucky Hospitality Cookbook" printed by the Kentucky Federation of Women's Club, Perhaps It's similiar to the Virginia Hospitality Book. I love the Kentucky one., it has alot of old recipes, some as far back as late 1700's!! amazing.
