This is fantastic! Absolutely beautiful.

May I make a suggestion? I have to admit that it would have to be a very good customer for me to print this out for.....but I would email it to customers who purchased the baker in a heartbeat. I went in and added a header - I included my name and my website in it. That way if someone I send it to prints a page for a friend, my website and name will be on there. Just a thought.

But, again, thank you so much. It's awesome! You get a big WaHOOOOO from all of us. By the way, I still love your rooster! I miss my chickens now that we've moved.

Sharon, this is a great idea! I'm going to do the same!

BTW-Did you all know that there is a group on facebook called "I [heart] my Deep Covered Baker" The owner of that site is also putting together a DCB cookbook. I haven't seen it yet, but I love how yours separated oven vs micro in the TOC.

Found it, joined it! Thanks for the FYI!

That's a good idea. I'll add it to the next version. :)

Okay, how's this? A few more recipes and slightly different format. I shrunk the text a little to fit in more too.

Awesome cookbook. YOu should have it published. Great job and thanks a lot for all the recipes.
 
Dotty, I know you put the DCB Cookbook together, would you prefer if I leave your info on the bottom of the pages or can I put my own in there? I also would love to send this to people who order the DCB (via email), is that alright???Thanks,
Karen
 
Here is the one I've been using. I love having a good table of contents. One thing I did in mine is to put a * by all of the microwave recipes.

Karen - Dotty just took a collection of recipes that someone else had put together and posted, and reformatted it. The intent of posting is for us to all put our contact info on it and use as needed - including sending to those who order.

Enjoy!
 
This is amazing, I have one like this, but it's soooooo not organized!! Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this! I can't wait to share it with my DCB customers!!
 
Thank you sooo much!! Dumb question: how do you change the footer?

click on it. It will switch to the 'edit' mode for the footer and you can change it. You only have to change one page, the rest will update.

Absolutely! Please put your contact info. I have found it a great inducement for DCB wafflers. "I'll send you this FREE cookbook with over 150 recipes with your order of the DCB. It has sections for microwave and oven recipes of all types! This cookbook is only available through me, and is not available to order separately."
Of course it is available through any cheffer too, but it sounds like an amazing deal and not all PC consultants have CS access. :)
 
I am sorry... this is probably a really silly question but some of the cake recipes don't mention the DCB at all but a fluted pan. Will they work the same (do I need to make any modifications to the steps)?
 
awesome and thanks for sharing! I haven't proofed the first version yet but if you are a perfectionist like myself, there are some different font types, sizes and spacing errors...just correcting it before I print it out and give it to my customers. Kudos to all the hard work put into both versions!! You guys rock!

Absolutely! Go sell those DCBs! The cookbook has helped me sell DCBs and I want you to all get good use of it too. Put your own contact info on it. :)
 
Oh wow amazing. I haven't been on here in a while and I'm so glad I came to have a look. Thanks so much!
 
I don't know how I missed this before, but the cookbook is great! Thanks for sharing, Dorothy.

At the beginning of the section it does actually say "these recipes are for the fluted pan but can be made in the deep covered baker" - I missed it too and had to go back and find it before I made changes.
 
well, my windows could not find the document. I guess I'll wait for an updated version. I cannot imagine all the work that went into organizing the recipes. Thank you!
 
yeah! it worked and looks fantastic!

Here is the latest version of my compilation cookbook. Thank you to those who sent me recipes! Please keep them coming. I welcome other suggestions - I've removed the references to the fluted pan to reduce confusion.

I'm attaching a pdf version for those who do not have word.
