I'm going to post my book that I finished earlier this week - do you need letters? certain ingredients? finished recipes?

Also, I have two other books that I'm almost done with (work was busier than I expected, so I'm behind.) Let me know if I should finish either or both (I know one has vinegar in it) or wait until next round to finish.

I should have at least three more books done. I actually have one completed right now, but it's been crazy at work (I do taxes and today is the deadline, so after tomorrow I'll have more time.) I'll try to fit in another shorty or two if possible.

Thanks Bethany and Judy for all your work in logging in books to the spreadsheet and coming up with recipes/descriptions!!

I'm still trying to understand the rules, but I thought we could only use so many ingredients from each book depending on how long it is? For instance, for a book that is between 301-500 pages we could use 8 ingredients or spell out letters?

I'm completely lost in meal making. Can a book be used to make more than one meal? Can you use multiple books to make one meal? When do you use more items for one meal and less for another? Sorry - I'm so confused! :-)
