We are thrilled to announce the return of the second annual “Watt’s Cooking” Member Recipe Book for 2025!

This special collection will feature your favorite family dishes—from cherished country-style recipes to secret soups and barbecue masterpieces. And we want YOU to be part of it!  The book will be distributed to attendees of the annual meeting on October 16, 2025. Can’t make it? Don’t worry. If you submit a recipe, you are guaranteed a copy! That’s the co-op way!

As part of our 2025 Annual Membership Meeting celebration, we’re inviting all TVEC members to submit their most beloved recipes to be featured in this keepsake cookbook. Whether it’s your grandmother’s famous cobbler, your uncle’s legendary chili, or your signature summer salad, we want to celebrate the flavors that bring our community together.

You can submit recipes in various categories—appetizers, mains, sides, desserts, and more!
