Dietitians of Canada is looking for your delicious, healthy,  
    family focused recipes that showcase foods available to Canadians.

    Canadian families love good food! And we're looking to you to help
    Dietitians of Canada create a cookbook designed just for you -
    one that's filled with delicious healthy recipes that families love
    and that showcases all the fabulous foods available to us in
    Canada. In our signature style, the added value of this book will
    be evidence based nutrition information and solutions to nutrition
    issues facing Canadian families.

    Do you have a favourite recipe for roast chicken? Or a great way to
    prepare pumpkin? Or the perfect portable lunch that your kids
    love? Do you have surefire ways to get the family involved in
    preparing and cooking meals that you can share? Would you like
    to have your name and recipe published in a cookbook? If so, have we got a deal for you! Send us your tips and recipes at recipe@dietitians.ca.

Canadians across the country have enjoyed our five prior cookbooks and this sixth cookbook, due for publication in March, 2011 is sure to be another winner. In keeping with the Nutrition Month theme of "Celebrate food...from field to table!", this cookbook is designed to showcase all the bounty of food available to us in Canada. It will feature over 225 recipes from across Canada designed to help you get a delicious and healthy meal on the table for your family.

The recipes need to:
- Taste delicious!
- Be your original creation.
- Be family focused.
- Be easy to prepare, use common ingredients that showcase Canadian foods.
- Encourage healthy eating.

Have you adapted a classic recipe to make it higher in fibre? Lower in fat? Richer in calcium?  It could be a recipe for breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack. It might be a main dish, soup, salad, vegetable, pasta, dessert, or other favourite dish.

Be unique and creative. Tell us how you get the family involved in meal preparation--perhaps by using planned leftovers, have one recipe with 2 or 3 variations, use appliances such as crockpots, blender or microwave oven.

Submit your recipe(s) in ONE Word document to recipe@dietitians.ca by May 30, 2010. **Deadline extended** Please use the recipe template.
