Hello, friends! Welcome to nominations for our inaugural Quarterly COTM. We’re trying something new here following a lot of conversation among participants in February and some logistics discussion by your coordinators.
PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS POST BEFORE NOMINATING.
•What are we aiming for? In selecting more than one book to cook from over a longer period of time, the hope is that more people can fit COTM into their everyday lives in ways that suit them without pressure. We’re going for at least two and no more than three books reflecting a variety of styles – more straightforward options that help folks get meals on the table without too much fuss and more involved books, whether technique-heavy or deep dives into new cuisines, as well as those that bridge the gap – so please keep variety in mind as you make your nominations.
•What is the selection process? If there are two or three clear frontrunners among the nominations that reflect some variety of style and, ideally, cuisine, we’ll skip the formal vote and make them our selections. If necessary, we’ll move on quick to tie-breaking votes. (Please note that ensuring variety of style may affect how I narrow nominations down.)
To nominate, type titles in ALL CAPS. (If you’re discussing a book rather than nominating a book, please use standard capitalization for clarity.) As always, please nominate with the intention of cooking along and reporting on your experience should one or more of your nominations be selected.
NOMINATIONS WILL CLOSE on SATURDAY, MARCH 23 at 7PM EDT/4 PM PDT.
