What's Cooking in YOUR Kitchen?

DGN Friends of Fine Arts wants to know! In fact, DGN FOFA wants you to be a part of a very special project. We are creating a community cookbook: Comfort and Joy: Recipes for Quarantine and Other Times at Home, and YOU can be a featured culinary contributor!



We hope that it will serve as a memory of the best parts of Quarantine 2020 – what we did at home, e-learning and what we created in our kitchens! This cookbook will serve to begin raising funds for the future needs of our students and the Fine Arts Department while also being a remembrance of this unusual time. It will remind us years from now not only who was a part of our Fine Arts Community, but what we did and what we cooked to bring comfort and joy to our homes.

Our Fine Arts Teachers are helping by sending details of what has gone on during e-learning and collecting art to submit for our book. Please take 10 minutes today (Or by Friday May 15th) and be a part of this unique and special effort! Share one or more recipes and complete our survey of activities at home - individually or as a family unit. It’s easy, just follow these steps!

  1. Log onto CookbookFundraiser.com here
  2. In the upper right corner, you will find an orange square that says "Cookbook Login" - click on this.
  3. Fill in your name as you would like to see it printed with your recipe; add your email address and use Login: DGNFOFA and Password: cooking66
  4. You will be first asked a few questions from drop boxes. Next you can enter the recipe(s).
  5. Take our quick Google Survey and participate in our Top Ten lists here.
Thank you in in advance for your contributions! We can’t wait to Try Everything (see what we did there?) - the old favorites and the new favorites.
