A little birdy reminded me that GNOME’s 10 year anniversary is coming up and I thought it would be nice to do something a little bit unusual to commemorate the creativity and passion which exemplifies our members. Since I have been talking about cooking classes and so many people in the GNOME community have also expressed their love for the culinary arts I thought it would be nice to publish a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 licensed cook book full of recipes from members of the GNOME community.
The rules are simple, e-mail me (you can ask me for my e-mail on IRC) with your favorite recipes along with pictures if you can. If it is a recipe you got from a cookbook you may still submit it as long as the description for creating the recipe is your own and not copied from the cookbook. Ingredient lists are not copyrightable but it is courtesy to try to make the recipe your own by changing some of the ingredients to add your own twist to the dish. It is also courtesy to acknowledge the chef who’s dish you based yours off of if you have not changed it significantly.
I will also need help with layout, graphics and other such publishing details. The plan is to have it published as a PDF and bound book through lulu.com with the source resting in GNOME SVN for adding to and publishing later editions.

I call this “Lunch”, but a more descriptive title might be “Banana Nut Vegan Mocha Frappuccino” (original, as far as I know):
1 and 1/3 cups Vanilla Soy Milk
1 packet of Sweet N’Low (optional)
1 banana
1 rounded teaspoon instant coffee
1 rounded teaspoon cocoa powder
1 handful almonds
25 small ice cubes
Combine in a blender. Blend on medium speed until you can no longer feel the almonds/ice hitting the blades. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy! Can also be poured into small dishes and frozen to make a great gelato.

You really have to ask Marco Barisione (on p.g.o too) he has a blog dedicated to cooking with some really nice recipes (http://www.tartetatin.it/).

it’s not a recipe, but I’d like to humbly suggest the title “GNOME Cookin’” ….

And of course you will contribute these to gourmet to distribute by default, right?

I’m just a hangaround, not a “real” GNOME person. Nevertheless, if you’re interested, the recipe for Oyakodon I wrote down in the link below is a favourite.

Hi! During GUADEC I told you that I would send you some recipes, but forgot to ask for your email ¬¬ And I never use IRC… Where can I get your email?
