We are going to publish the first ever Shir Hadash cookbook in Spring 2016, and we need your recipes! We want our cookbook to reflect our diverse membership, so please submit your family favorites, Sephardic specialties, gluten-free recipes, etc.

The cookbook will be professionally published and contain special pages of interest, a table of contents, an index, helpful cooking hints, and recipe category dividers. Please submit three to five of your favorite recipes. We will strive to include at least one of your recipes. 

Recipes can be submitted several ways:

  • Submit your recipe through ShulCloud. You can access the submission form at the bottom of this page.
  • Type your recipe into an email and send it to cookbook@shir-hadash.org.
  • Type your recipe into a word document and email it as an attachment to cookbook@shir-hadash.org.
  • Fill out the recipe form on the reverse side of this page and turn it into the office.

1. List ingredients in the order used. Make sure all ingredients are included in the directions.

2. Include all amounts and container sizes: 2 (8-oz.) cans, 1 (14-oz.) pkg. Use parenthesis to separate amounts.

3. Abbreviate measurements in the ingredients list, but spell them out in the directions.

4. Be consistent with names, ingredients, etc., e.g., don’t use “1 c. butter” on some recipes and “2 sticks butter” on others.

5. Use ingredient names in the directions, e.g., use “Combine flour and sugar” rather than statements such as “Combine the first two ingredients.”

6. Include temperatures and all cooking, chilling, baking, or freezing times.

7. Submit recipes exactly as you want them to appear.

8. Write directions in one paragraph. Do not submit recipes in steps, columns, charts, or as an entire paragraph.

11. Make sure you indicate whether your recipe falls in the special categories of vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, suitable for diabetics, slow cooker, freezes well, quick and easy

12. A note about Kashrut: Our Shir Hadash cookbook will follow “Kosher-style” conventions. Recipes should not include ingredients that are inherently not Kosher (for example, pork or shellfish); and they should not include milk and meat mixed together.

13. A note about recipe attribution in the recipe notes: (1) use "adapted from" if you are making a small modification to someone else's recipe; (2) use "inspired by" if you are making a large modification to someone else's recipe; and (3) call it your own if you are changing three or more ingredients (unless the original recipe was so unique that your recipe looks pretty similar, in which case call it "inspired by").

Please select the section title in which your recipe is best categorized.

Please list items in order used, one item per line.  Use the following abbreviations:  pt., qt., pkg., env., c., ctn., tsp., T., oz., il., gal., doz., sm., med., lg.

Please type recipe preparation instructions in paragraph format.
