A shortage of responses to its call for recipes has organizers of the third edition of the Campus Community Cookbook extending the deadline for submissions.

The books are slated to be printed and sold in September with proceeds supporting financial aid opportunities for Indigenous students. Members of the UWindsor community — students, alumni, faculty, and staff — are invited to send in their favourite family recipes by Aug. 8.

“We want to showcase the cultural diversity of our campus through food,” says Alicia Charlebois, student engagement assistant in the Turtle Island Aboriginal Education Centre. “Let’s share some of the dishes we treasure: they don’t have to be Indigenous.”

Submissions should include a list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions, as well as a brief description of its origins, and — optional but appreciated — a photo of the completed dish.
