Hello,
Thank you to all the FROGS who helped organise and who attended the Garden Party on Friday, we hope everyone had a great time!
Please read this newsletter for some photos of the party, information on our Cookbook project, and on our next event, the Jumble sale.
THE GRASMERE COOKBOOK
The Grasmere Cookbook, 2024 edition, is hoping to bring together the recipes that mean the most to our community. Please find out more and send us your recipes using this link or, if you don’t have a gmail account, by emailing frogs.grasmere@gmail.com.
Thank you to those families who’ve already sent their recipes: we’ve a Palestinian dip, Austrian strudel, Swiss cheese tartlets and a delicious pancake recipe. Recipes just have to be family favourites, and the quicker you send us yours the more time we’ll have to take some nice photos to go with it. We’re also looking for some nice illustrations from your children, such as cute little ingredients and illustrated dishes – you can see the full book here for inspiration.
Here are three recipes from the first edition to whet your appetite:
We need your help to get the recipes in as soon as possible as we have a tight deadline to meet if we’d like to produce and sell the cookbook in time for Christmas – it will make such a great present! Ideally we’d love to collect at least 30 recipes from Grasmere families and staff members.
JUMBLE SALE
The Jumble Sale has been a hit at Grasmere for over 20 years! Help us reuse and recycle by donating your unwanted items and shopping for second-hand items. From brand new cookbooks to designer coats, there are always some real gems, and most items are 50p. It’s also a lot of fun for the children, who run around with their friends and play with the new toys bought with their pocket money.
We still need some help on manning the stalls, and preparing some soup and cakes to sell. Please sign up here if you can help!
Any leftovers will be donated to charity.
DONATE TO FROGS
Donations to FROGS are always welcome. Please take a look at our latest projects to see how your money might be used. You can also set up a monthly direct debit donation on Kindlink.
Find out more on how to help here, including more info about the matched funding and workplace giving schemes, which are available for employees of some large companies.
