The Prairie Potluck Cookbook provides recipes and supports charity.

The cookbook, featuring 130 recipes of main dishes, appetizers, desserts, Game Day Snacks and Holiday Recipes, is the result of Peacock Collegiate Entrepreneurship 30 class’ Dragon’s Den idea they pitched on Oct. 2, modelled after CBC’s popular show.

“We actually got our cookbook put together in six days,” said Grade 12 student Shailynn Taylor, company co-president. “We came up with the idea, got the recipes, the sponsorships and had it submitted to the publisher in six days. So that was some long nights.”

“It was worth it. Now you can hold it and see what you created,” added company co-president Walter Woodroffe-Brown, also in Grade 12.
