Spending this week in class going over our HAP posters made me realize just how soon the quarter will be over. This means that our healthy aging project is coming to an end, and I'm starting to panic just a bit. With this cookbook being my brainchild, I feel that it has to be absolutely perfect in terms of aesthetics, amount of recipes and quality of the overall publication. Holding this cookbook to such high standards has made the task seem more daunting than it actually is. Collecting recipes within the LCS cohort has felt like pulling teeth from folks, so Andrew and I have decided to open up the cookbook to people of all age groups. This will further drive home our point of food, tastes and flavors transcending the boundaries of time and simply just one age group. Everyone can relate to the pleasures and memories associated with food, and we hope to remind people of this through our cookbook. We are nearing the end of our recipe collection period and slowly putting together our cookbook page by page, recipe by recipe. With care to preserve the emotions and significance attached to each individual recipe, we are undergoing a period of trial and error to ensure that we perfectly capture each recipe along with the contributor's story.
To everyone who has contributed thus far, I send my sincerest gratitude and thanks for your time, energy and story. I have been touched by every recipe and memory collected so far, and I hope readers of this cookbook will feel the same once it is published. With the deadline to print being only days away, I feel nervous, anxious, stressed and, perhaps most importantly, excited.
