Complete Recipes for the Booklet copy

[Pages:110]Introduction

My name is Aren Lane and I am from the Grass Valley Creek 4-H club. This book is my Emerald Star Project for 2008. It is a collection of the above-average recipes from 4-H Favorite Foods Day since 1978. Favorite Foods Day is an annual 4-H County Event that is held the same day as 4-H Achievement Day. Kids bring their favorite foods. The 4-H members are separated into junior, intermediate, and senior categories. Each group is judged by three judges. They judge you on how well you present your food, how appealing your food is to the eye, and how good your food tastes.

Although these recipes are excellent, some of the earlier ones didn't include all of the ingredients needed to make the complete recipe, so where needed, I listed the missing ingredients in italics. However, overall I am confident that this recipe book is complete and contains both usual and unusual types of food.

So I hope that you enjoy this book, and that you cook some top-notch food.
