For those of you who don't know JWD has it's own cookbooks!!! Two of them in fact
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/cookbook.aspx
The first book, was made available to forum posters for a fee. Proceeds went to help pay some of the expenses to keep the forum online
"Food at the Proper Time" eCookbook
Food at the Proper Time is a compilation of recipes from around the world submitted by the participants of the JW Discussion forum. Many of the contributors are ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses who are not permitted to associate with family because they have either left or been expelled from the religion. When leaving the religious community, most understand that their opportunity to sit with family and friends over a table and share food will be seriously limited or non-existent. Few realized how painful this lack of connection would be.
For many the JWD community has become the source of friendships, family and healing. When possible small groups have met in their local areas to enjoy the friendship, support and understanding from others who fully understand their losses. And one important activity is the sharing of food, sometimes in a local restaurant and sometimes at someone’s home.
This cookbook is another way to share this meeting together and connection to community. We have come together to share our recipes and in doing so, free ourselves from the man-made rules of the religion we once believed in. We have worked on this project with a couple of goals: to share fine food and friendship and to help support the discussion board where we meet from all over the world. Therefore all proceeds of this book will go to help support and maintain the JWD and to help defray expenses and keep the board active and growing.

The second book, "Food in Due Season" was put together for a slightly different reason and was made available for free.
Due to the Jehovah’s Witness prohibition against the celebration of holidays few of those who leave have learned the traditions of the holidays. Some have had to struggle with learning these traditions or create their own. This is our attempt to share with others some of the foods we have come to enjoy.
As our gift to each other we offer this free to all the posters of JWD and their friends and family.
Each e-cookbook is filled with the favorite recipes of many of the posters here. I know you will enjoy them.
