Possible Cookbook in the Future???
-
I love the idea… but I think it would have to be a series of book dedicated dealing with different subjects such as Meatgistics Charcuterie (ground and whole muscles), Meatgistics Fresh Sausage from around the world, Meatgistics Community Cookbook (where we share all our favorite recipes). I think there should be a voting system for each of the recipes to go in the book. What I mean by that is each recipes would need to be vetted by the community and voted on
Dr_Pain I agree with the voting process, a march madness style bracket would be awesome.

HerbcoFood If a physical cookbook is not possible, maybe a Waltons section where the recipes could be adapted (if possible) with ingredients found on the website with hyperlinks to the products. This could help drive product sales but also may drive the development of some additional seasoning blends. If Austin and Jonathon are on board they could drive those recipes with some incentives as they do for posting on Meatgistics?? If the recipe gets 25 likes, 50 likes, 100 likes, 250 likes, 500 likes etc…
A Meatgistics minimum upvote to get the recipe put in the section and a Meatgistics & WWW votes for incentives. I would also offer that if there was a way that the likes could be combined with Walton product redirects and sales. I think the logistics of tracking where the buyer comes from may be next to impossible, but a “click-bait” to the product may not be too hard to track.
As advanced as Waltons seems to be internet SEOs I am sure they could make sure that Google search pops our recipes at the top of the search when someone is looking for a DIY Salami or Brat or Meat Stick or… Smoked Mac and Cheese, Authentic Jambalaya (could hyperlink another contributor recipe for andouille sausage, tasso etc…)

Austin and I have discussed this a little in the past. We figured that there would be a small market for it but maybe there is more than we thought? kyle I’d agree on it being Meatgistics based. If you want a recipe to enter it would be submitted to the User Recipes section and then they would be collected from there?
Jonathon Didn’t mean for this to get too complicated. I thought this could be just a fun project.
There obliviously needs to be an editor. That could be a Walton’s employee, but frankly doesn’t need to be. There are companies that specialize in publishing cookbooks just like this and the truth is it’s an easy process. I would doubt that the company that print your catalog have experience in such a cookbook.
I have stated that I would be willing to take the lead in this project if you and Austin would like to do so. Never intended this to add to the workload you already have.
While I realize that there are some recipes that need to be reviewed, there would be many that could be published without going through a complicated process. An experience cook could easily determine if a recipe was publishable or require editing.
I would hope that this possible project not turn into a complicated procedure and that it could be just a fun collection of Meatgistics users favorite meals to eat.

This is becoming populated with some great recipes. Maybe if we get enough we could put out a Meatgistics cookbook. Like one of those plastic binders books that many groups and churches have. Profits could even go to some charity.
I bet the gals and guys would post for a worthy effort. There are so many great cooks in Meatgistics.
And, it would be one way we could preserve many family recipes for the future - we don’t want them loss for ever.
So guys, what do you think???
Chef fantastic idea! I love having an actual recipe book. I would be in for one for sure!!!

Chef Great idea and thanks for offering to head it up.

I’d like a physical cookbook. I would think waltons would be able to market it with some success. You wouldn’t have to go overboard with branding it as meatgistics users recipes, it could be a “waltons customers cookbook” and just credit the recipe author with their meatgistics handle or something.
Pick your major categories and vote on user recipes, agreed.

A meatgistics recipe book sounds like a great gift for hitting a certain post level

Ridley Acres I like that idea

.cdavis I would guess it would mainly be the members that are interested, and it would have similar sentimental value to the church cookbooks back in the day.

Ridley Acres My only argument against it being a “reward” is that it probably should be accessible to everyone and I don’t want a mix of buy/reward thing because that waters down the value of the reward. Chef No worries on it being too complicated, I mean, it definitely will be complicated but it is good job security to keep my guys busy! We have a graphics manager who does all of our catalogs and ads so he would be a natural for this.

Sounds like everyone should get their recipes in to be published. I can see a volume 2 in a few years. Jonathan you might want to have the person doing this put a bookmark on the last recipe published so it would be easy to start a new volume.
-
What about just making the recipes printable. Put a waltons watermark on them. That way you can print the pages of a particular subject you want. Plus you could add to your personal “cookbook” by printing other threads, university topics, etc. You would be able to add new recipes as the get added to the site. Any thoughts.
-
I think that it should be kept in a digital online format then members can print what the want , I myself print recipes out and hang them on a cupboard door by the kitchen island on a stick on hook where I do the bulk of the processing and cooking prep work
-
If you make a printed and bound version, I will buy it. I like physical cookbooks.
-
Need printed cause my phone goes to sleep and I gotta touch it so lot of glove changes
