Calling All Cooks!

Guess what, guess what! We have been hired as the editors of the new international cooking magazine, Cook'n. Gorgeous, glossy, and loaded with drool-worthy photography, Cook'n will be in all major bookstores and online, six times a year. The first issue appears in May.

Part of our excitement is that Cook'n is totally focused on reader contributions--over 80% of all recipes coming from amazing cooks like you! We try them out in the  Cook'n test kitchen, looking for the best-of-the-best to spotlight.

And each issue will be studded with exceptional photographs of our cooks' creations as well as step-by-step instructions on how to prepare these reader- and editor-tested recipes. (Go to www.northridgepublishing.com to see the quality of the magazines Cook'n will model.)

We'll always be looking for healthy recipes for you health-conscious readers. And each issue includes a question we ask you to answer. Our first question: "What is one thing your mother taught you about cooking?" awaits your comment. In Jul/Aug we're asking "What is one thing no good picnic should go without?" This is truly YOUR magazine--Cook'n with YOU in mind!

We talk about the best tools/equipment and wonderful cooking-oriented websites/blogs out there as well.

Most (if not all) cooking magazines and books are about the authors, but Cook'n is about YOU--what you're cooking, what successes you've had, what you want to know, and so on. And we're excited to send our readers YOUR way--if you have a favorite cooking/foodie website (or have your own!), we believe people should know about it and we will help them find out! Cook'n is all about "sharing the good stuff!"

So Cook'n invites YOU to contribute! Wouldn't you love to have one of your family-favorite recipes in a magazine that will be worthy of not just saving, but savoring throughout the years?

The May/Jun issue wants any of YOUR recipe that are focused on:

1. Fresh spring greens

2. Quick and easy meals

3. Strawberries and all their possibilities

4. Doughnuts

5. Ice Cream sandwiches and cakes

We'll be watching for your contribution(s) and are excited to include the best-of-the-best submissions in upcoming issues. Meanwhile, here's to family dinner made easy as you search and contribute from your favorite family recipes.
