3/2/2009: CMTA Announces New Cookbook: Alphabet Soup: The ABC's of Comfort Food for Shattered Nerves

Tie on your aprons, fire up your ovens, and get out your favorite, comforting recipes! The CMTA is pleased to announce the compilation of a new cookbook to raise funds for research, and we need your help.

You must have a few favorite recipes that warm the heart and comfort the soul, and we'd like to know all about them.

Spearheaded by New England Support Group Leader Mark Boxshus, the Alphabet Soup cookbook project will include your favorite crowd pleasers in a keepsake edition created by you and your fellow CMTA members.

One lucky member will also win our Grand Prize and have a Special Feature Page about his or her award-winning recipe, so please use the "Note/Story" section of the submission form to tell us what is special about your recipe, or what memories or thoughts it brings to mind.

Your recipes and stories will help make Alphabet Soup a meaningful and enduring memento, and you will want to display it proudly in your kitchen or pass it along to other family members. You may even want extra copies available for gift giving occasions all year long.

We also encourage you to solicit recipes from your family members and friends, as well as any celebrity acquaintances or culinary luminaries you know. If you are good friends with the Obama family, by all means ask them for a recipe or two!

All proceeds from Alphabet Soup will support CMT research, so get involved today and start digging out those recipes! We can't wait to share them with the rest of the world and bring us closer to a cure for CMT!

Submissions will be accepted until May 31, 2009, and all selected recipes will be tested thoroughly to ensure specified results.
