Joyful Heart Cookbook  Calling all cooks! Samaritan House wants your recipes for Joyful Heart, a cookbook
commemorating our 20 years of community involvement, volunteerism and of course, food! It will be a very unique cookbook and will be available in time for the 2014 Holiday season, and throughout 2015. You'll not see another cookbook like it! To have your recipe(s) included, please send $7 to Samaritan House for each recipe and you will receive the official Recipe Submission Kit. The kit includes supplies and directions for submitting recipes that are uniquely from your heart and in your own handwriting. Local businesses will have a chance to sponsor this one-of-a-kind cookbook and have their ad placed on the inside front or back cover, the outside back cover, or on one of the section dividers. We are also looking for cover art for Joyful Heart. Please feel free to submit cover art ideas to Samaritan House.
