Dear JL Member,

Favorite Recipes® Press has been chosen by AJLI to publish a cookbook that will complement the Junior Leagues' Kids in the Kitchen initiative being implemented by Junior Leagues throughout the Association. This cookbook will appeal to children from ages five to ten to promote healthier lifestyles with delicious recipes and eye-catching photography. AJLI wants to encourage family food preparation and dining while teaching cooking and food choice skills that are kid-friendly.

The recipe pages will feature large type, numbered steps, and directions to include an adult and child, thus showing them how to cook together. The recipes will be rated to help identify those that are most appropriate for younger ages or those certain steps that can performed by a younger child. There will be some recipes that could perhaps be completed by an older child with little to no assistance. Nutritional information for each recipe will be provided by Favorite Recipes® Press.

Please provide the contact information for your Junior League and identify the person entering the information. We are asking each participating Junior League to provide (at most) five of their best recipes plus helpful notes, sidebars, tips, hints, or variations.

Additionally, we would like to know what your Junior League is doing to promote the Junior Leagues' Kids in the Kitchen initiative or other healthy eating programs in the way of events and activities.

If you have questions about this form or this project, please contact Julee Hicks at Favorite Recipes® Press directly at 1-800-798-1780.

Thank you for participating in this exciting cookbook project.
