Chain-Letter Chef
I usually hate chain-letter emails, but this idea is right up my alley, and I think it might be up your alley, too, Serious Eaters. Check it out.
OK, Culinary Adventurers: We expect your best! You've been invited to be part of a recipe exchange! Please send a recipe to the person whose name is listed in the number 1 position (preferably something quick,easy, few ingredients).
1. [redacted]
2. [redacted]Then copy this letter into a new email, move my name to the number 1 position, and put your name in the number 2 position. Only your name and mine should appear in this list when you send out your email.
Send this to 10 friends. If you cannot do this within 7 days, please let me know so it will be fair to those participating. You should receive 36 recipes. It is fun to see where these recipes come from. Seldom does anyone drop out because we can all use new recipes.
The turnaround is fast because only 2 names are on the list.
I'm not great with math, so I'm not quite sure how this nets you a possible 36 recipes, but who knows. I went along with it and sent out a recipe. If you have ten friends who won't be too annoyed by this, just copy and paste the text into your own culinary chain letter.
