Imperial Andermani Navy Recipe Challenge

Food is great!

Honor Harrington would agree.

James McGinnis, her Steward is a featured character; it can’t be understated how important food is in David Weber’s Honorverse. The descriptions of tastes of food is a focal point. Sharing a meal is equally important as well, Honor uses dinner to bond with her officers and other characters. The Tarakovs hold a dinner for the crew and family’s of after each deployment. The Graysons lost a lot of technology and live on a planet that wants them dead but by Tester they kept the waffle irons working and HOT! We at the Imperial Andermani Navy want to honor this sentiment in a way that will allow us to share and engage with each other over distances. So…from February 1st to March 31st the IAN is collecting recipes from all members!

We are asking you to share recipes with us so they can be shared with our members. The Imperial Andermani Navy is asking you to submit recipes that will be published here https://andermaninavy.org/galley/. We are not simply asking for any recipes however, we are asking you to share foods that bring you comfort, happiness, contentment, and good memories. Our goal is to create a place where you can look up and see what other members are eating and enjoying, a new way to engage with each other in the kitchen and at the table.

What we need from you is:

Download and fill out this Recipe Submission Form
Fill out your information
Only your rank, name, branch will be shared
You can request to have this submitted anonymously
Convert recipe for both Metric and Imperial measurements
Including cooking temperature
Note hard to find ingredients
Include more common substitution or a link to purchase with international shipping
Directions broken into steps
A picture of the finished project is highly encouraged

Once you have filled out the form you can email the attached documents to rosebushoffice@gmail.com. Here they will be received and posted here https://andermaninavy.org/galley/. Allow 7 Days for the recipe to be posted longer if there are questions or it is sent back to you for missing information.

Recipes that will be not be posted are recipes that contain:

Recipes for making Alcoholic beverages Ie. Beer, Wine, and Spirits
Illegal ingredients (Foie Gras and Marajuana are illegal in a lot of places)
Dangerous techniques such as flambé, dry ice, or anything more dangerous: these can be quite dangerous without training.

If your recipe contains one or more of the above you will get a response asking you to substitute the questioned technique or ingredient. If another member points out after posting that a recipe contains such an item that we were not aware of, the recipe will be hidden and we will reach out to ask for the substitution so that it can be posted again.

You can submit breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, drinks, complex dishes, 3 ingredient dishes, old family recipes, something you found in a book or online, even your secret for perfect hard boiled eggs are game. All we ask are for recipes that have come to mean something to you, recipes that have become staples of your own table and that you are comfortable sharing. Something you would make for a tRMN Potluck/Covered Dish party. We encourage you to submit them.

The IAN wants to facilitate a new way of asynchronous interaction amongst us that honors the books in a different way. Also to add some variety to what we are making. So please consider sharing your table as Honor did, when she broke bread with her officers…that McGinnis baked.

We also want to see which chapters are eating the best. At the end of this the chapter that has submitted the most recipes will earn bragging rights as the “Most well fed chapter”.
