Their first create-a-project was an International Dessert Tea Party which was absolutely amazing. They have done Healthy Living presentations in schools, French cooking, and Appetizers. They have even catered a wedding dinner for a past 4-H member. I like your idea and will pass it on to the girls - in the meantime if you do come across any historic recipes we would love to try them out. I do have a cookbook from your region that has a lot of older recipes they could try out but what we would really like is the 4-H contection.

I am a 4-H leader for "Foods" in Nova Scotia. Most years I let my group create their own recipe at one meeting. For instance, one year they created "Seabreeze Chicken Veggie-Noodle Soup" and another year it was "Lucky Stars Fresh Fruit Salad" (Seabreeze and Lucky Stars being the names of the 4-H Clubs). They got to choose which veggies or fruit they wanted to put in or leave out and decide on the name. Maybe your club could start off or end off the calendar with a recipe they create themselves.

While they will be testing and publishing new recipes they would like to have some historic 4-H recipes from around 1913. If there is anyone out that that might have a recipe or two that they would share with us we would really appreciate the input.
