Needless to say, it did get done and it was wonderful. We did end up with several almost-identical entries but everyone enjoyed contributing . . . and we shared some really fantastic recipes. BUT it was a LOT of work and that was with a relatively small church group. We did it as a sort of fund-raiser and the cookbooks were professionally assembled.
