Fisher STAHS needs your recipes to create second cookbook, fundraise for museum Do you have a well-loved recipe written on a tattered piece of paper or recipe card you pull out all the time that is getting harder to read? It would be heartbreaking to lose that piece of paper! Do you have a family recipe for an amazing chocolate cake, special cookie recipe, the best comfort food or a fry bread recipe you are willing to share with the world? Are there some favorite meals you cook that you want written down so your children and generations to come will be able to have access to it? The Siletz Tribal Arts and Heritage Society is creating a second edition cus- tom cookbook featuring favorite recipes submitted by Tribal members, their families and friends of STAHS. These cook books will be professionally published. Our first edition was published in 2017 and we sold out last year. Many who purchased the first edition treasure their cookbook as they can recognize their family members who contributed and they can pass on that family jewel. The second edition is sure to be a cherished keepsake as well. Money raised will be used for the capital campaign for the construction costs of the Siletz Tribal Cultural Center and Museum, A Place for the People. Please submit 3-8 recipes so you and your family can be represented in our cookbook. We especially want your name and the origin of the recipe if you received it as it was passed down in your family. That is what will make this cookbook a treasure for all! Having many recipes from Tribal members, their families and friends of STAHS will ensure that our cookbook is a success. We are using the Morris Press Cookbook’s website to easily submit recipes online by you or we can enter it for you. If you would like to submit recipes, please contact us at STAHS.Board@ gmail.com for the website and login information. If you do not have access to the Internet or a computer to easily enter the recipe or want us to enter it, you can email it or mail a hard copy of the recipe to STAHS, P.O. Box 8, Siletz, OR 97380-0008. Please submit your recipes online by Aug. 30, 2020, or if mailing to us by Aug. 15, 2020, so we can meet our deadline for having it printed in time for the holidays. We anticipate a great demand for our cookbooks and we want to be cer- tain we order enough.
