Please note: RAMP is a member of the Diversity Coalition of Morris County. The Coalition organizes the Diversity Day interfaith service and festival held annually in July on the Morristown Green. To learn more about the Coalition, visit them here.
 

It was suggested that we create an e-cookbook that we could post on our website or otherwise distribute electronically. This would be in lieu of the food samples that we would normally have available for all the participants on the Green in past years. I believe this would provide even more accessibility to the diverse cuisines that are part of all of our backgrounds and would also be more long lasting.
 
To that end, I am hoping that each of you can contribute a recipe that is indicative of your culture. I have created a template on Powerpoint that is very easy to use. I had not really used Powerpoint at all until I had to come up with a sample to provide for you so, if I can do it, so can you!!
 
All you need to do is take a photo of your food item on the left side of the page (I actually took mine off the internet or you could photograph a picture from a cookbook that you own) and deposit it in the space provided.  Below the photo is a space to put in your name and a small photo of yourself so that the readers will see who the contributor is. On the right side, there are portions provided for you to put in a few words about your recipe, room for your ingredients and then the instructions.
 
PLEASE USE 12 pt. FONT FOR THE INGREDIENTS AND THE INSTRUCTIONS; AND USE ARIAL FONT. 
 
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHOOSE A RECIPE THAT IS FAIRLY SIMPLE WITH NOT TO MANY INGREDIENTS THAT ARE EASY TO FIND IN THE GROCERY STORE.
 
Once you have created the Powerpoint version, you can save a copy. Then you can send it to me like that.
 
I have attached a template as well as an example of my recipe so you can see exactly what to do. BELIEVE ME, IT IS NOT HARD AT ALL.
 
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd like to have all the recipes collected by June 1st, if possible.
 
Thank you so much for helping to make the Diversity Day a special and creative one, in light of so much turmoil in the world.
