Earlier on Twitter, I noticed that a lot of the people I follow are also quite skilled in the kitchen, leading me to ask:
Response was pretty great.
So my rough idea for this would be a collection of geek-friendly recipes loving collected into a PDF format (by someone with better layout skills than me) which could then a) be hosted by whoever wanted it on their blog/website and b) printed out and handed out at cons.
By geek-friendly, I mean stuff you cook for game nights, snacks which keep you up all night, cocktails which give you Rock Band courage, cookies shaped like the Death Star, etc.
Although I’m not seeing this as a moneymaking venture, I would want to avoid copyright infringement by having people submit original recipes — not things pulled from other cookbooks or lifted off the Internet.
It would also be cool if we called it the Necronomnomnom, but I’m flexible about that.
So please use the comment box for:
1) General brainstorming.
2) Letting me know you want to be part of this (you have a recipe, want to design the cover, have thought of a better name/better distribution method, etc).
3) General messages of support. :)
Also, please RT this, FB it, and send this directly to people who want/need to be involved.
And thank you!

I’m totally in!
GeekGirlWife:
This is such a great idea…I do a A LOT of snacks because the man works technical support at weird hours and gets home late, a we are on our computers a lot, so we don’t so many sit down meanls. Ready to contribute some GeekGirlWife fabulousness to the cookbook whenever needed.
Aramis:

Ooh! I’ll help! Anything in the interest of building better geeks. :)
UberDorkGirlie:
Hells to the yeah I am soooo in!!!
Kathleen Pawelski:
most of my cocktails are pretty old school, but would 100% AGAVE Regional de Oaxaca with AGAVE worm qualify? you have to spend a few hours downing the stuff before someone is brave enough to “eat the worm” ( I have actually been able to get a few down myself but I was pretty toasted)
Rosalind:
Oh, we are so in. I love to cook, Dawn loves to bake, and my husband loves to mix drinks, and our blog is already filling up your pages lately! Dawn is also our fabulous food photographer, so we can help with that, and she loves layouts (a.k.a. telling me mine are crummy). Love it so much!

Chronic Geek:
Awesome! I have made up some gluten free recipes for events and would be happy to contribute those if you have room for them. :)
Yukino:
You know I love to cook/bake. I’m sure I have a few recipes laying around that I could throw into the mix, just as soon as I find them. =)
candy:
Totally interested! Love to cook and can help with images…already picturing wonder woman baking…
kjdawson80:
I am down, but all I really know are greasy recipes (cheese filled breadsticks baked in oil, garlic, and death!).
:D
Saga:
Count me in as well :)
Jessica:
Love it. Awesome idea. Totally in.
Hope C.:

Oh, and artery-clogging beef dips!
Mersipan:
Would like to be in on this as well.
Mimi:
This is all sorts of awesome. If I can think of anything original (my cookies are from a cookbook), I’m in.
Mimi:
This is all sorts of awesome! I’m in =D
justag33k:
I’m in like sin!
Liz Danforth:
I am SO there, man. Been holding WoW potlucks for years… and that’s just for starters. My mom taught me to cook experimentally and I love to do it.
Just the name “Necronomnomnom” makes me laugh until tears come.
Wendy:
I’m in too! I’d love to participate and I love the name!
Monica:
Count me in. Would be happy to contribute a recipe. I just brought home a ridiculous amount of spices so I need an excuse to try them out…
Dead Parrot:
Oh yeah, if my game night snack was more than delivery pizza and dorritos I’d provide a recipe or two. But I’d buy a copy or three.
Aaron F Stanton:
Sign me up!
This reminds me a bit of http://www.amazon.com/Serve-Forth-Cooking-Anne-McCaffrey/dp/0809500949/
Lias:
Not sure how much I’m capable of contributing here, but would love to help out.
Christopher:
This is similar to an idea I had already started some groundwork for. Contact me and we can discuss our two ideas and maybe merge them into something really awesome.
Christopher:
oops… silly me.
I just nioticed that it doesn’t give you my e-mail address, so here it is:

Silvercube:
Sounds interesting. I could contribute a recipe down the road — swamped myself by the way, intense college semester until August 12th!
When I was younger, I dreamed of opening up a restaurant :)
Nick Bridgens:
Count me in.. You don’t grow up to be a big strong geek without getting some proper snap down your neck.
