[UWAB] W@CC Cookbook Recipes
by Candis Pham 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hi girls! In case you haven't heard, the Women@CC are making their own collaborative cookbook this semester! Once a month, we get together and cook a recipe out of that cookbook. The next cookbook cooking night is THIS Sunday at 6p in Sixth Street Apartments (directly following the Perimeter Mall Outing). Please call Linda Huynh at 703.927.4560 to get into the building. So here's what I need from you. In order for this to be collaborative, I need more than just mine and Linda's recipes ^_^. We'd like at least one recipe from everyone, but optimistically three recipes, a main course, appetizer, and a dessert recipe. You can get it from your mom, your dad, your grandmother, your grandfather... or even write down something you've created on your own. Just send those to me (Candis: cpham3(a)gatech.edu) and I'll put it together in a book. As always, feel free to email your co-chairs (me or Linda (lhuynh(a)gatech.edu)) if you have any questions or comments. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon! -- Candis Pham Women@CC - Co-Chair B.S. Computational Media 2011 Georgia Institute of Technology
